Cool I Want More Lift

All right dudes here what is going on here. I already have a 3.5 lift and a 2 body lift. now here is what i am proposing on doing. getting longer travel shocks so then i could put some 3" spacers but then I need to find out where i can get some A-arms and all the necessary components needed. I need your guys feed back on this or some ideas so i can fab something up. or save tons of time and just buy it. Lets make it happen

Un-fortunately there is nothing for you to just buy. You will have to fab at least partially. A large drop-bracket lift built for a Tacoma/FJ (same front end) will get the front there but you will have to find an off-road shop to do you rear suspension components. Your rear panhard bar, rear sway-bar, brake lines, all the wiring, drive-shafts will probably all need modification, and that's just off the top of my head.

If your serious and still go ahead, keep us informed it sounds interesting as far as I know no one yet has gone past the 5'' mark.

Hey I'm trying to fond some long travel shocks with or with out the xreas system. I just don't know what i'm looking for. I can't seem to find any after market xreas shocks so i started looking for some non-xreas. give me some more ideas on some good shocks cause that i'll i'm really gonna have to replace other than brakes lines really oh and a tranny drop and possibly something with cv joints. these shocks i know are gonne have to be 6in longer then the stock ones

I think you need to check out this website (hope you have a big wallet)
http://www.chaosedition.com/index.asp

Total Chaos Fab: http://www.chaosfab.com/96504.html

Nice Runner but I think if you run your wheels off road, be ready for some rock rash...

x3 or whatever on photobucket.com. very easy to upload the pictures and than just copy the [Img] code to your posting...
