85 Marathon Lift Kit Question

ExtremeShot · 03-25-2011, 02:16 PM

It appears there is only one lift kit option for an 85 Marathon. The kit that I found is just a 4" block kit. It says I can use up to 22" tires with an offset wheel.

Here are a couple questions:

1) Are there any other lift kit options that I've missed?

2) If I get this 4" block kit with 22 inch offset tires, how wide do you think the cart will end up being? ...I ask because I need to buy a trailer for it and I've seen some 5'x8' trailers and I'm not sure 5' will be wide enough.

Thanks for the help!

this is a marathon with a 5" lift with offset 22x11 wheels and tires. don't mind the the body it is a marathon in disguise. you should have plenty of room with a 4" lift. don't know about the width, but i think you will be ok with a 5' trailer.

With just a little bit of work you can fit a 5" drop axle on that front end.
With a lot of work you can do one like TodWil.

Here is an 86 with a 5" lift from Ebay for $70. 22" tires and a short belt. Everything worked out fine.
