Thread: Lift Kit Requirements to fit 255/85's

I'll bet my left one, before measuring my 2 vehicles, that the spring mount for the 130 is wider than the 110,
Big dejavue for me as I had the same problem, not realizing that the 110 I bought second hand had a 130 rear end grafted over. I'm fairly sure it also had the bigger ( says he checking the left one) spring mounts grafted as well.
I run 255's on 7" black aftermarket rims with 113mm space.
No worries, so the 4mm makes enough difference. I had real issues with Rangie alloys that are 138mm. Could smell the rubber


Edit. I just measured both, 130 is 24 cm 110 is 20 cm. That's your problem..

What and where are you measuring that's is giving you 240 and 200mm ???

From the chassis to the outer point - Where your tyre is rubbing. Suggest you double check as the 110 tray I have is custom built & engineered but definitely has a 130 rear axle & inner & outer rear springs.

Ok, so you have a 1985 custom built 110 extra cab with some 130 parts and your spring perches are 240mm wide from the outside of the chassis......and thats my problem also

hahaha funny stuff

Nope, mine are 200mm. I also can not imagine why the 130 spring perches would be an extra 40mm wide. I can imagine 4-6mm for some extra strengthening, plate etc, but not 40mm?? I was under the impression that the 130 share the same coil dia and wheel track (basic axle assembly sans thicker tube) as a 110? If so how can they fit an extra 40mm width in the spring perch?

Could it be that your custom 110 has something done to it that is not stock?

Maybe a 130 owner could measure there rear spring pearches and report back?

There are a couple of simple reasons my tyres rub and its not something seriously wrong, nore is it rocket surgery

OK, Sorry for trying to help.

Your post- for all my comprehension- was mocking me - and the poking out of the tongue in your response also does...
I said from the outset that my County was custom built.

meh, you were fairly confident it was "my problem" without ever laying eyes on my truck

BTW, im still not sure how the 130 mounts are 40mm wider? or do you mean 4mm (even though you wrote 24cm and 20cm)???

Even if it is only 4mm, it would not be enough to make a difference, my tyres would still rub on either. (especially since they already are on the narrower of the two )

I still stand by my original comment that if the OP is going to buy new rims to suit the 255/85R16, that the "Wolf", "130" or "HD steel wheel" not the best option, nore even a good one. IMO

And Im still wanting to hear how, or what is "seriously wrong" with my truck
