Trailmaster 2" kit

I'm going to fit a trail master 2" lift and do a 2" body lift what's the best tyre size that will fit with only a small amount of arch cutting on 15" wheels.

probably 30-9.5x15 or maybe 31 but mite need more trimmage

Whilst I sell the Trailmaster Kits here....

(Note that delivery is included in that price when looking around)

....I would have thought you would be lucky to get 31" tyres under such a lift. With aggressive mud tread the "rolling radius" of a 31" tyre is often approaching 32.5" (do you like the mixing of metric and imperial!)

You will always find people who have managed to get 33" mudzillas under a Jimny "with a quick rub down of the wheel arches with a Barbie Finger nail emery board", equally you will find people who could not fit shopping trolley wheels without an 18" lift and step-ladder access. What I am saying is that there are no hard and fast rules regarding what tyres will fit where (hence I rarely answer "what tyres will fit?" postings).

I would have thought you would be able to get 30" tyres under if the tread is not too extreme. Remember that there is only half an inch difference between 30" tyres and 31" tyres (think about it)

Thanks for the info and when I get my jimny I will give you a call also are 235/75/15 29" high.
I was going to get the 3" ORA kit but after reading how going over 2" on the spring lift can throw all the steering geometry out and needing castor correction ect I am now going to stick with 2".
I have seen the jimny trailmaster advert on YouTube and that seems to handle very well.

My MAXXIS 205/75/15 A/T are about 27.11" high and 205/70/15 are 26"inch.
Hope this help.

1.5 SPRING SPACERS
235/75/15are28.8"
265/75/15are31"

What lift you got squire?.
I think once I've sorted the lift I'm going to put a Lobster on it.

BITS4VITS spring spacers+BIG JIMNY rear shock brackets, on jimny stock shock.
I use my jimny 85% on the road.

I've used spacers before on my vitaras and they make the ride very harsh so I want a proper lift kit,thanks anyway.

That OK mate good luck.

what martin said is very much true, your gonna have to see what people have managed to fit then take the plunge and go safe or go big but be prepared if they dont fit as you would like..

Very much trial and error, 235/75 are a nice safe bet. At tong, a lad we went round with had a 2" lift with NO body lift and ran 30/9'5 kumho kl71 without much bother.. dont know if they rubbed but only slightly if they did?

The ORA kit includes all the caster correction arms and panhard rods so no worry about steering geometry. Its the best package in mho, if you can afford it all at once. Or I should say I wish I had saved up enough to go the full ORA route from the start. Rob from ORA did amazing deals at the TOR show, its worth waiting for the next one! I'm planning on parts already to get from the next show.

No doubt ORA is good stuff but i would rather do it allot cheaper so ive got money to spend on the rest of my project,after all im only going to be using it for green laning and i want to do the lot for around fifteen hundred and the ORA 3" kit would have used all that,anyway ive done my research and in my mind the Trailmaster 2" kit is the way to go without causing to many other problems also i want to do it all myself because thats half the fun for me.Thanks for the advice on here in a bit you will be calling me a jimny pro.
