Does any one out there have a cheap and easy way to lif the front of a 4x4 BII between 1.5-2 inches without screwing up the front camber?I cant get a lift where I am (in canada)for less than 700-1000 canadian for a 2''front only And that's more thaI can ditch.Will Explorer coils or load helping shocks work while keeping my wheels flat on the ground?

Also any opinions on Pro comp AT/MT tires and which ones are better all round

 

You are going to have to do a wheel alignment no matter what when you change the front suspension. The best thing for a 2" lift is Explorer coils, gives a stiffer ride, and an added 2" of lift.

On the tires, I'd go with the AT's, they last longer, and for winter traction they are better due to relief cuts. On the MT's they're good for mud, so people think they're good for snow and ice, when they aren't. The deep lugs dig you further into the snow/ice but never get you anywhere because they don't cause enough traction.

 

yep your right......i gotz 33x12.50 swampers and a 410 posi rear.

on pavement covered with ice and snow in 2wd my rig turns into a frizzbee.....in 4wd i am still all over the road but making forward progress....

off road snow and ice is no problem ( i love to be the first tracks across hinch mountain or big rock after a big snow) but smooth hard surface i slip all over the place.... does anyone know or has anyone grooved out their lugs to help this? im
toying with the idea of making some chains/cables for my mudders.....

has anyone made their own chains looks simple to me and i can not find any affordable chains that will fit my tires......

 

The Pro comp Mt have siped treads to assist with on road performsnce.The guy at 4 wheel parts says they're good on the road for a mudder.Alls I have to compare to is goodyear wrangler GSAs(which stunk period)and Michelin LTX A/Ts.these are a good street tire but in mud, they also sucked.ANYone Have any Pro Comp tales to tell?

 

If you are wanting more traction on smooth surfaces w/ ice and also rain, look for a tread that on each lug it has cuts that go down about 1/4-1/2 an inch and they're spaced about 1/4 an inch apart and they go horizontal when looking at the tire from above, these little cuts allow the rubber in between each cut to pull back a little which creates more traction, in ice and on slick surfaces, an ok tire is yokohama geolander a/t's they go up to a 12.5 x 33 and they look pretty nice too, BFG's AT's are an ok tire also, but i dont think there is an offroad tire that is great for on road performance
