After driving around with Downey HD springs for 2 years, I replaced them with 80 series coils. With my BJ spacers the front was higher than the rear. Now the back is higher. As far as flex goes, the cruiser coils are wayyyy better!!

Before




Now

 

Looks Good!!

 

looks good.. but man my LC coils are sagging, my LC coils looks like you downeys. i need to upgrade to OME's

 

I like the slightly raked look. I'm trying to do the same w/ my 3rd gen...

 

Looks good! I can't wait to get 33" tires on mine, now looking at yours I know what it will look like. My 31" tires look funny right now but have way too much tread left on them. They would look even worse if I removed my running boards and got my bumpers like yours. Your rig looks nice, that's similar to the look I want to have once I get sliders, bumpers, and tires.

 

Nice!

I'm a bit worried because I must change my rear shocks now and I've OME 901's who lifted me 7cm (Almost 3''). You put very long shocks, I assume you've the ProComp 4'' lift shocks... Don't they bottom out when compressing? I want to achieve a nice flex in the rear but I'm worried about smashing the shocks when compressing! Did you added something to your bumpstop?

I have the Procomps in front, but in back I have takeoffs from a Ford F150 lift. They are long!! I will try to find a part #

 

Looks great "now." Looks pretty even.

I'm not too crazy about the "California lift" look. Mine had that look when I initially lifted it. After installing the 4wd rear coils, it fixed the problem.

 

Looks good. Any flex pics?

 

I've always hated how the gap between the front tire and fenderwell is bigger than the gap between the back tire and fenderwell. So I think it looks good the way it is too. Nice job.

 

Hell yeah, dude, we gotta keep our butts high. It's also nice when you're coming off an obstacle. a little more departure angle never hurts.

The only time this type of setup kinda sucks is on downhill decents, then I wish my rear was lower. That was Mike's (Rasta) theory with keeping his nose high..... he said on descents it felt almost level.

 

Here is my poser shot from last weekend...not fully flexed

 

Looks sweet!

 

Nice Marc,

Did you have to loose the parking brake lines from the lower arms? I tried the other day flexing my truck with the shocks unbolted with the help of a forklift truck and my drop was limited by the ebrake lines...

David

 

Oh My God! It's a Giant Stink Bug. Everyone run for your lives!

Just kidding Marc. It looks good and as we saw it articulates extremely well!

 

Looks good Marc but i think it's time you get some 3.75" backspaced rims with the amount of lift ya got.

 

that narrow stance kills it.

 

One of these days I will get new rims. I need to find some used ones...I would hate to buy new ones the get them all beat upon rocks.

 

I want a rear bumper like yours... how much was it? Also, my steelies were only like 40 bucks each...

 

Keggo--I had a local fabricator make it for me. He charged me $300. I feel I got a great deal...very nicely done.
