have you taken any measurements in the front yet? what are you from fender to ground?

BajaRunner

No, I actually havent had it on level ground yet.

I instlaled my 2" cf spacers and its still about 1" higher in the front!!

HOJU

you're using 890 coils in the rear right? well have you thought of the 891's or even the 892's?

and once you do have measurements, let me know, i want to know how mine stacks up..... thanks-

ROOFGOOF

BAD ASS!!! I love the look... I was all excited when I put a 2inch BL on, its an addiction, I now want to go higher ! Good job. Oh and now looking at those other pics I dont think your tires are too skinny... it still looks good IMO.

BajaRunner

So I will be needing new tires here ...

I dont really want to regear quite yet, but, I know I will soon... should I go for the 315s and regear in a few months, or go to 305s and not regear so soon?

Regearing willl really hurt me because I cant afford it ... lol.

HOJU

well, i'd say hold off untill you can get the tires and re-gear, or just screw it and get the tires and live with it for a couple of months.... i had the 35's for about a month before i re-geared, and i didn't notice that much going from 285's to 35's.... but i also got a cat-back at the same time as the tires.

oh yeah, and I'm sitting at 42" at the front fender-

BajaRunner

You really didnt notice too much difference with the stock gears? hmmm got me thinking

I might just go 305's though..

Okay okay... I JUST measured, and I am at 46" from front fender lip to ground... I think it is pretty level. It might be a little on a downslope too sheesh.

HOJU

DAMN!!!! that's tall..... sounds like you have plenty of clearence for 35's even at full stuff, If i were you i'd look at weather or not to pull the body lift out, then decide if i want the wheels to fill out the fender well or not, and also consider that the 305's are basically the same dia. just wider.... but DAMN!! 46" and that's with 285's.....

either way it'll be bad ass!

I'm at 42" with the Dana 44 and 315's.

Man that thing is TALL.

Just for comparison...my 85 is at 46" bottom front fender lip...on 35s.

HOJU

yeah, but you're cheating Brian-

sschaefer3

You have smaller fender tubs so you will have to go taller.

The "only" reason I have to modify the 1st Gen Roll Bars to fit the 3rd Gens is that the 1st Gens, have considerably smaller tubs.

If you want to know about the 1st gen Roll Bars, you just call me. I even have a 1st Gen roll bar pad from the SR5.

All of those threaded nuts are the special seat belt tap/pitch.

I'd say throw on some 37's if you were willing to regear and not try to wheel it.

Got any of the rear seat shoulder belts? What kind of condition is the pad/zippered cover in. The zipper on my pad was busted...I guess I can just use some foam and duct tape!

BajaRunner

Wha? Why wouldnt I want to wheel it with 37's?

Well, Im not going 37's anyways, but, I just dont understand.

I'll probably stick with 33's and take off the body lift.

Nitro Hotpants

35's are max size for IFS. Guys with 35s and IFS are still breaking axles left and right. 37s would just be ridiculous, your CVs would explode in no time.

HOJU

Haven't broken an axle yet..... had the 35's for 9 months, and I wheel it pretty good-

r0cky

sweeeeeet.

Nitro Hotpants

open front?
what type of terrain do you wheel?
Believe me, I'm not questioning how hard you wheel, just want to get a feel for how hard is hard.

HOJU

Open (locked sooner or later) Moab, and surrounding areas, as well as northern Utah, or in other words... by backyard-
