    01 Chevrolet LS1...85 XJ mating

    1056176 I recently acquired a 01 LS1 350 with 4000 miles on it.

    33's and 4.5 inches of lift

    1056592 From what I understand 6 inches of lift and 33's are the rule of thumb. Drawbacks of this configuration would be wheel travel only??????? What about 4.5 inches of lift and wheel well trimming to run 33s...32s yes, no, maybe? Allen edited by: vfrf2, Feb 25, 2003 - 08:10 AM[addsig]
