seeing how your 215/80 flexing under there seems like more than just 2" lift... or just my eyes playing tricks :dry:

4" negative offset on a 7" rim is not possible. are you sure it's not 2"/rim => 4" total width gained?
check the pic below (max negative offset on a 7" is 2.6")

Yep defenetly just 2" lift, my tyres work out to b about 28" in diameter.

Your rite about the offset I was just guessing 3 or 4" it's gotta b that max 2.6 coz ther well deeeep

hmmm... that's good. usually people complain about catching the upper part of the arches at full felx if 215 are used with wheel spacers (or negative offset).

PS: my Jim is exactly like yours

My suspensions about a week old, not sure wether my old springs were sagged but the new springs were 3" taller

And yes it catches but only a tiny bit at the top of just the rear arches, gunna take an inch of the whole arch soon all 4.

my eyes are still ok :woohoo: ... i can still make a 1" difference just seeing the pics :whistle:

what's my point: because of this kind of info people may get it wrong and spend in vain on big tires.
so... you have a 3"SL - case closed!

I ordered a 2" lift tho and for a 3" wouldn't I need extended brake hoses, as I'm still on original.

Could just be that your original springs have sagged. The real way to test is measuring the height of the car before and after, not the spring lengths.

Yer obviously they were sagged.

So why were you suprised they were three inch's longer?

Yes on a 3" lift and yes on 2" lift if you remove the ARB

Think your ok on a 2" lift with the ARB still attached, I would get extended lines anyway just to be safe.
