if you take off the fender flares and add a 4crawler.com 1" body lift. you can run 295/75/16 (34.8") you might rub a little on on a full stuff, but not much. i am running OME heavies, cause i bought the 80 with them on it. a lot of the guys are runnning http://frankies4x4.com/ 3" lift. it has a progressive spring rate which soaks of the little bumps a lot better then the OME's. it is a bit more money but worth it if you want a plush ride. several people have just purchased the springs from frankie and then cut off one loop and gone with some 5150 shocks and slee blue caster correction bushings. as the wabbit mentioned IH8mud.com is your source for cruiser info.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Iron man springs should be called Iron Butt springs. They suck! I had them on my 40 when they were first brought in to Canada. Stay away! Horible ride, the rear shackle angle was so bad the guy I bought them from paid to have longer mains built for them.

i ordered my Ome lift kit from cruiseroutfitters.com fair prices , quick delivery and the guys was very knowledgeable.

i got to say: i had a xtra heavy kit (3inch lift) and could not fit 35inch tires whyout some major rubbing. forget about going offroading with some fender mods.

i did soa to fit my 35s, now they look almost too small
