ZQ8 wheels with a2002 Jimmy??? - 1/9/2008 10:38:30 PM    Logan   Posts: 50 Joined: 11/21/2007 Status: offline On my 02 Jimmy, I want to get the ZQ8 rims with some bigger BFG All Terrains. I got a set of Xenon fenderflairs. I saw a ZR2 today with the steelie 2wd rims, and it made me think of getting the ZQ8 rims. I do plan on doing offroading with it as well. I looked, but cant really find much info. Might be because im tired and usless online, but any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Post #: 1

I can never find What im looking for. Now I have to find a company that makes lift kits for the non ZR2. (in reply to swartlkk) Post #: 8

Worth, TX Status: offline well, you can save the money by cranking the torsion bars...   you'll get approx 2" front end lift with that and you can get add-a-leafs or leaf shackles to lift the rear. the superlift 2" kit comes with new torsion keys to lift the front and add-a-leafs for the rear. it also comes with tubular upper control arms but those arent really necessary _____________________________ Matt - 98 4DR 4WD click me!
