1. What lift Kit / components did you use? Include Spacers, if any.

*I started with the usual bits for a medium OME lift.
*However I placed Slee 4" coils in the front.
*I used Slee front control arms.
*Adjustable front/rear panhards.

2. Why did you select that particular lift?

I drove to Slee offroad in Co, and we put this setup together to achieve my ends - driveability, offroad ability, and a taller,wider level stance.

3. What tire size are you running?

36x13.5R16 Super Swamper IROK radials

4. Rim specs - 16x8 w/ "x" backspacing

*Stock 16x8 wheels
*1.5" aluminum wheel spacers.

5. What caster correction, if any have you used?

I installed Slee front control arms.

6. Have you had any rubbing issues?

No rubbing issues with the cut front bumper ends and custom bump stop drops installed - 2" front, 3" rear.

7. Did you have any Driveline issues? What was the cause and how did you fix it?

No vibes at all.

8. What is your main on and off-road uses of vehicle?

Mainly on road/hwy. Daily driver.

9. Are you happy with the performance on and off-road your for your use.

Very pleased indeed.

10. What would you do if you were going to do it differently?

This latest evolution described here solved many outstanding issues I had.

11. Any plans on modifying the lift or other related components (Tire size)?

*I may buy 16x9 aftermarket wheels .. fatten out the stance a touch more.
*I would like to add the upcoming Slee front bumper and therefore a small front spacer to relevel the 80 subsequently.



A full writeup of this build can be seen in
this thread.


*Stay tuned for hardcore shots .. I'm usually too busy busting my junk to snap pics.
