quick lift question
 
I'm in the middle of installing a Rancho 4" sport lift. It is quite a bit more work than i was expecting, but I've got the front suspension done, except not torqued down yet.
take that, factory rake!

anyways I'm putting on new 35" wheels/tires, but they won't be here until later this week. If I install the rear lift, and torque everything down with 32" tires will I need to loosen and re-torque everything again when the new tires come?
Another way to ask the same question is: can i go from 32" to 35" without adjusting any of the suspension/steering components? I don't want death wobble.

U should be fine. I put my lift on with 285/70/17 and didn't put my 35s on till a few weeks later. And I haven't had a problem with mine.

Nope you will be fine. Though when putting your new tires and wheels on it would be a good time to retorque everything. Biggest thing is make sure your factory wheels clear all suspension components after your lift. I ran my stock tires and wheels for a few months after putting on my lift and had to use spacers till I got my new wheels.:rock:

There is a chance that you will want to adjust the Toe-In when you swap to the 35's. Other than that, just double check the torque all the way around and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the info. I've got everything all torqued down now, with the stock wheels still on. The brake lines get very close at full turn, but I've only got 4-5 days until the new shoes get here! I just won't turn too hard in the meantime...
