Help in purchasing lift, tires & wheels
Thanks to several of you guys responding to my inquiries, I purchased a 2003 Workhorse with a model designation of 1200 GXL. Now I want to add a lift kit and tire/ wheel combo that works for off road and mildly rough terrain here in central Texas. The Tires it has now are 18x8.5x8 Carlisle Links. They are definitely a golf cart path type tread and I need to get something with a little more bite to it. Budget constraints from the war department are a factor too! What type of lift is the best to go with, the full axle for the front or the strut type. I'm sure I will have lots more questions, and hopefully can contribute something in the future to someone.

Re: Help in purchasing lift, tires & wheels
23 inch tires are not the best choice for a stock motor in my experience they are too big and way too much low end torque is sacraficed for effective offroad driving in my opinion... I find that for moderate offroading ( and really what else can you do with 9 or 11hp and 2 wheel drive?) ....moderate offroading can be accomplished with a 4 inch lift kit and 20 inch tires or a 6 inch lift and 22 inch tires.... It does help a bunch to have CPP machine the driven clutch for a lower starting gear no matter what lift you choose.... I prefer an axle lift for the offroad enthusiast
