Cheese is using Rancho 5009's and I think Bill has 9009's (?). I'm still waiting on Bilstein (Shane Casad) to come back with something. Based on what they say, I'll be able to figure out something on the OME option so everyone can have their choice.

Yeah, the marlin brake lines are long, they are about 1/8" away from rubbing stuff down there with my downey springs. But I've got the diff breather tube, brakeline and ARB line all bundled together and the diff tube somewhat protects the brake line right now. I'm going to wrap it all up with some protective plastic tubing before my death valley trip in Feb.
Anyway, the blue line is better. I'm color coordinated with my blue stripes down the side of the truck.

Yea, I have Rancho 9009s.
Question on the brake proportioning valve relocation bracket:
Right now, with the Downey HD springs I'm using the middle set of holes. After I put in the Cruiser coils and the panhard drop, should I use the upper most set of holes or is that only if you have a full 4" suspension lift like the Procomp or Superlift system?

I would try it in the upper-most holes. The Cruiser coils will bring the rear up at least 4" from the stock sagging position.
AFAIK, the position of the LPV dictates how much rear brake bias you get. This will probably be something that will need to be fine tuned. That LPV bracket is just a plate - we can make a custom one if need be.
I'll see if I can squeeze in getting over to your office - the schedule is a bit tight today. If I don't make it, we can meet up tomorrow or Thurs.

I have the stock set from the Downey install - I don't throw anything away either.

Yes, we are talking about Land Cruiser 80 series stock rear coils. The link provided was to the IH8MUD site (Land Cruiser site) where the free coils were being offered.
If they are no longer available, you can contact Slee. They modify Land Cruisers and in the process of replacing suspension components, they have stock Land Cruiser coils for sale (I called them take-offs)

Then when I add the ball joint spacers and crank the bars a little - it will even out - correct ? I already wheel this runner with 1" body lift and the Downey rear coils - I am hoping to add a rear locker ( selectable ) this year.
Free is good when trying to afford this crazy habit !!!!!!!

I got my coils from Christo - hence the plug. I bought two pair since there was all this talk of long side and short side coils. This was pretty much unfounded when the coils arrived. The difference in height between the long and short side coils was like 1/4".

I've got a full inch of difference between my cruiser coils. I figure I'm going to put the long side on the passenger side so that my gas tank is higher.
About the lspv bracket...Measure your height at the wheel well before the cruiser install and after the cruiser install. The difference is how much higher you want your lspv bracket.

Okay Ive been trying to figure out ALL the parts that I would need to do this lift and WHERE To get everything
1991 4Skinner, 4x4, 4cy, Auto.l
The Shocks I have a Skyjacker and they will work from Stock to 3" Of Lift.
So Im trying to make a complete list of stuff that Ill need.
1: Cruiser Coils (Year make model ? How much lift will these get me?)
2: Pan Hard drop Bracket ? To match the lift of the C-Coils right
3: Brake Valve thingy Bracket? Once again to match the lift
4: Brake Lines... That ones easy
5: 1.5" Ball joint spacers. Than crank the t-bars to match the rear ?
6: Manual Hubs to release the stress on the CV's
Am I missing anything ?
Now where can I buy all this ?
