800 tire clearances

[MIKEHHOME@domain.elided]

I've got about 4" of lift (2 1/2 - 3" spring and shackle and 1 1/2" body) on
my 800 and I'm running 33x9.50"s on 8'"wheels with no problems. These tires
fit inside the wheelwells when it is stuffed without rubbing the wheelwell in
front or behind the tires. The only place the tires make contact on mine is in
the right rear at the back side of the inner fender lip. The left side doesn't
rub at all as the tire on this side has clearanced the lip by folding the lip
up from contact. Eventually the right side will also fit properly.

I would run 7" wheels with this size tire if I was doing it from scratch. I
was stuck with the 8" wheels that I bought for the 31x10.50's I ran
previously.

I would be concerned trying to lift much more than 1" (2" longer shackles)
with shackles as any longer and you are putting a lot of faith in the frame
mounts. 

I bought coustom springs from Alcan in Grand Junction. I asked for 4" of lift
and as can be seen from the info above that is not what I got. be careful if
you are ordering over the phone or through the mail.
