Summit racing only charges 11 bucks to ship 4 wheels

Volcomroofus

Unfortunately I live in Antigua. There's no store even remotely close to what a discount auto parts store would be like. On top of that, 90% of the cars here are japanese. and on top of THAT they charge about 180% duty on automotive stuff. Luckily I live on the base here and can ship stuff from Florida at no cost; so if I can get them to florida for a decent price I'm on it. I'm not too much of a fan of the cragers to be honest, even though they look VERY similar. I'm waiting on a pm back from him to see what the shipping would be. Anyone willing to take a trip out here and carry them on the plane?

I'd go with the 31x 10.50's on a 15x7 wheel and BW Flat flares. I think the cut outs will look too big on a 3.5 inch lift. As far as backspacing goes, It depends on how much you trim. On a 3 inch lift stock backspacing is the best cause with no trimming IMO cause it allows the wheels to stuff but if you get less backspacing then you'll be hitting your flares and ripping them off.

I've been to antigua and several other caribbean islands many times and I must say I dont get how people down there get what they need sometimes. Must be nice to live in paradise though.

BTW do you know a guy named "bubbly" there? he once told me to ask anyone for bubbly and they'll know who you're talking about.

Yeah it's a pain to get things sometimes, but I live on the Air Force base and we get our mail from Patrick AFB in FL. It's nice to not have to pay duty and only pay shipping to FL. Let me tell you, it's great living here but there's always downfalls. Yeah you get freedom from barely any police, but then when you need them they aren't there. There's barely any place to get take out and the food on the base sucks, on top of that any food you do find is crazy expensive. It's basically impossible to find parts here. And I always get grilled on here when I talk about not having a cat. People don't realize US federal laws don't pertain to other countries. I don't know a guy named bubbly, closest I know is blowy lol.

@rayray, thanks for the advice but I hate the look of flat flares. I'm going to go with the 15x8 from seriousoffroad, shipping is only 30 bucks. And I'm going to get the 32x11.5

Tires come out to $770 shipped, wheels come out to $230 shipped... So $1000 and I'll have a full set of spares. Under budget and happy. Thanks for everyone's help.

for 4.5" you'll need the following items on a 98 (at a minimum):

Adjustable trackbar
new lower control arms (adjustable preferred)
new coils (or coils and spacer depending on how tall they are)
new leaf springs, bastard pack, or combination of leaf springs and extended
new longer u-bolts
shackles
longer swaybar links or disconnects
new longer brakelines (front ones you can relocate the mount)
new shocks all 4 corners
slip yoke eliminator kit (SYE)
custom CV driveshaft, or use a stock front shaft in the rear with the SYE
pinion shims for the rear (4*)
extended bumpstops

dukie564

honestly though - i'd get a kit.

Rough Country and Iron Rock Offroad and some of the most complete kits out there, and both have fantastic customer service and great products

Nail on the head as usual, and thanks for posting his post sir

98Classic

Ok thanks but out of those parts what brands would you all reccomend because i know some companies have some areas they excell in and others they dont which is one reason i wanna piece together a lift or if people that have had many brands of lifts and have a good feel for different products which kit is the best quality i have heard RE so many places but i dont wanna spend so much on a lift my biggest worries for companies like RC Rustys are the sagging in the rear plus i have an ARB bull bar front bumper, orfab rear tube bumper, garvin 70x50 rack so sagging is my biggest worry as well as quality and flex

98Classic

and also i currently have 31s but in 1.5-2 years will be getting 33s or 35s what gearing will work for now as well as when I get larger tires because i dont wanna regear 2 to 3 times
