lift questions

[gettinmyfirstone]

I want to get the james duff 2.5-3" stage 1.5 lift and wanted to know a few things
1 - does this lift need a longer driveshaft?
2 - do i need to do any major steering work?
3 - whats the max size tire (width and hieght)
4 - camber problems?
5 - what is the ride quality? (I'm a young buck so I don't mind a rough ride but parents... and girlfriend...)


also, i am looking for a set of these style wheels in chrome anyone know where I could get some? I live in ohio but wouldnt mind shipping

thanks

I think these are those rims in chrome

A link to tire fitment vs lift.
Most likely you will need a different driveshaft. Needing a double cardon type to offset the driveshaft angle when you lift the suspension.
I didn’t see a drop pitman arm with the lift but I would definitely get one to help avoid bump steer.
Any camber adjustments can be done with balljoint sleeves.
I don’t know about ride quality as I don’t have that lift.
Check out our tech library or for even more the sister sight TheRangerStation.com . Lots of lift and tire info over there. Even installs like the one you are proposing. Good luck.

1. No it shouldn't

2. It shouldn't... but a drop pitman arm would help

3. I'm gonna say 31x10.50x15 will go under it without trimming

4. Yes

5. It should ride decent but this short little trucks are in a league of their own.

Stick to what @tw205 said about the driveshaft. But I don't think you would need a longer one.
