    @stevegriggs1337 4 года назад

    Levi, this is awesome. Been dreaming of doing the same conversion on my T1n. Do you have any added concern for roll over? Also have you considered or talked with anyone about adding spacers to widen the stance? Would maybe add stability on turns and lower roll over potential, or is that bad stress on the axels? Thanks! And stay healthy!

    • @Levi_Allen

      My new rims add a slight offset. I wouldn’t want it to be more. I’m not worried at all about filing over because of the lift. If I am actually gonna tip I don’t think that 2” higher would be the difference maker to be honest.

    Wife and I are considering a van (RV) as an alternative to a Jeep/motorhome combo for shorter trips and the ability to explore beyond pavements edge as I’m a landscape photographer. Not saying for sure that I need 4WD as it does create it’s own set of issues (expense of the parts plus the lowers fuel economy). Not planing on a regular diet of rock climbing or mud holes thus is 4WD really necessary?
