What did your 2” lift consist of? Can I assume that the ride was fine prior? Does it feel that the front or rear is stiffer? Just trying to narrow down the cause. Ryan Hey Ryan, thanks for the reply. I just got the overland vans 2" lift. Yes, it rode nicely before. I had the lift kit and shock...

Wood, I can't remember what my tire pressure is right now, but I lowered it significantly. Is there a recommended tire pressure? There just seems to be no give in the suspension. My mechanic said it was the shocks. I'm not a mechanic, so all I can do is take his opinion. I don't mind replacing the s...

Hi everyone. I'm not sure this is the right place to post, so if it should go somewhere else please let me know. I installed 4 ProComp 3000 Shocks and a 2" lift kit after much research. I love the height and look with my new rims and tires. The problem? The van rattles my teeth going down the r...

Thanks for the quick response. I went with 235/70R16. Great idea on the shocks. If I new to ask the question before I would have done that. I purchased 4 new shocks, Pro Comp ES3000, for $225 off of OLV. I hate losing money due to my own ignorance, but that might be a simple solution. I can always s...

Hi everyone, Thanks for the help with tire sizes. My ignorance made it more difficult than normal, so I appreciate your patience. My OLV lift kit is installed, however there is (anticipated) rubbing. It seems I can't trim the front alone. I will need to increase the torsion (which may not be the pro...

I had Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S (updated version now Geolandar A/T G015) in 235/70-16 and it was an XL load tire just prior to 2" lift and with 2" lift. They rubbed a bit pre-lift but looked and worked very well with 2" lift. I think 29" LT tire is a great all-around tire diamete...

Hey ya'll, Ok, I now have some tire sizes and need your opinion on the following. Thanks again for the help. The size differences are based on the original tire size of 215/70R16 on my 2003 GMC Safari. 235/65 - same height, 1" wider 235/70 - 1" higher, 1" wider 225/70 - 1/2" high...

Hi, BFG KO 2. Is great tire. LT225/70-16 fits with no trimming. Goodyear Duratrax. LT215/85-16. Is a bit taller , and it could work with a bit of trimming AP But remember, the big LT tires are heavier than street tires, mileage will drop. And taller tires cause a bit slower acceleration unless you ...

This is a repeat from a different section. Sorry. I'm new and I'm looking for what I thought was a simple answer, but I think it's more complicated than what I was expecting. I purchased my first GMC Safari, 2003, and am putting a 2" lift on it from Overland. I'm trying to figure out the larges...

2003 with 2" lift and heavy I beam bumper and Manik grille guard. Astrophysics, could you send a link to where you purchased the grill guards (and roof rack as well) please? They look great. I google Manik grille guard but couldn't find one for the Safari, unless you modified it to fit. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, Great topic. The LT215/85-16 is what I am thinking of using on a spare set stock wheels on my 2003 Astro AWD with the 2" lift. I also removed plastic front bumper cover when I installed new bumper and grille guard. May need to trim at pinch weld. I was running LT225.70-16 BFG KO s...

Generally, I think you should be able to get a 29". There might be a couple of guys with 30" tire on a 2" lift, but even a 29" may require some trimming. (30" will def. require all the trimming.) A lot of this depends on the width of the tire as much as the diameter, as the...

I posted the following on off-road as well... Hey ya'll, I'm SURE this topic has been beaten to death. This is my first forum and I couldn't get the search to pull up what I am looking for. I'm sure it's user error. I apologize in advance for a repeated topic. I purchased a 2003 GMC Safari AWD. I ju...
