Wes,
You can always mount it on the back like I mounted mine up front, should be about the same setup.
Cheers,
Michael

I hope these photos come up ok... ok 'Harvey' may not me modified as such... but he has had his arches taken off and a respray. Before these shots he was very modified in the form of 'trying to put a square peg into a round hole' type of way. To get him relatively straight again has only cost £550 so I'm well chuffed with the outcome.

Beltons give about a 2.5" lift over stock. As for pricing...much less than the original OME kit. Many people believe Belton makes the Dakar springs for OME...and I think you can still get a better price on Beltons.
Terrain Tamer is another option (I'm running it in my BJ74). Out of Oz and sold locally here by www.4wheelauto.com. A little less than 2.5" lift, and about $100 CAD more than Belton.

the lift elevated the truck by 4 inches, but only due to the fact that the old springs were completely flat. Stone is correct, it is designed to lift by 2.5 inches.
The kit (complete with shackles, shocks, everything) cost 1500US from G&S, plus a bit of shipping, depending on where you are. It is great product with even better customer support from G&S.

Hi Guys,
my name is Toni, I´m a student from Germany and these pics of your really cool cruisers are amazing!
I´m looking forward to modify my cruiser (more or less) like yours
so this is my `89 BJ70 with the 98hp engine, fullfloating axle including the lsd etc. :
(more pics here)
Only a few mods on my ride:
-new suspension (UMC Springs, OME front-shocks, ironman rear-shocks)
-235-85R16 BFG MTs (the old ones) on 5,5" splits
-custom front bumper
-aluminum-stearing-armorplate (not on the pics)
upcomming mods:
-used 255-85R16 BFG MTs (the new ones) on 6" rims (next week)
so thats my ride ...
I bought it a year ago for 8326.64CAD (5250.00EUR)and i had several problems with my toy - its unbelievable - i know!
I had to fix the complete front axle ... all gaskets including the whole brake etc., my injection pump (rotary pump) broke a year ago (okay that was my fault), the rear axle and brakes are fixed, too and the gearbox is driping (the next part to fix).
now I`m going to check the rest of this board
have a nice day
p.s.:
this cruiser from the netherlands...

is powered by a 13B-T turboengine (more pics here) , the axle are from a volvo c303:
 .

It's actually called "Kaiser", not Klaxon. It's device that monitors coolant level, coolant temp, and oil pressure. If any one of those becomes dangerous, sirens (not unlike a klaxon, I would imagine) and lights flash, bleep and scream at you.
Oh, and here's an upright picture of Ziplock, my BJ74. It's mostly stock, except for 4x4labs steering arms with 1 ton rod ends, DOM tie rod and relay rod, and a hydro assist steering ram. For an otherwise bone stick rig (some would say that the S/O is not stock, but I retort by asking which part of the S/O didn't come from the factory...) anyway, for a stock truck, it rocks!
Future mods include 1.5" body lift, Loewenflares, aluminum bumpers, side steps, 4x1/2 doors, roll cage, 4 link/air bag suspension, 4.88's, a toybox and a cool paint job.

Pete, you dog you. That 74 is great. More in action pics please....
Hey, I'll play that game. I'd guess the only thing not stock about a SPO are the aftermarket spring pads that you have to weld onto the top of the axle housing!!!
How's that?
P.S., where can a guy get some of those Michelin XML's? I cant find any down here.

Wayne-O, is the negative reversed, or is that a right hand steering BJ70?

Okay Guys ... the 255-85 are mounted and allready tested:
edit: one pic more
... its good to have the new ground clearance 
On the street the tires apears much heavier, i think i have to get those SuperSwamper Narrow S.S. in 34x9.5R15 to finsish the look of my cruiser  but for the beginning its okay ...
have a nice day

hey ukjeeper I like your paint scheme! Kind of like the 55 series.
I was thinking about doing something like that myself.
I might go with the bottom blue and the top white.

thanks m8
it was originally sand gold, then someone painted it white. when i got it the bottom half was rotten so most of what is now red is new hand formed steel.... hence the larger rear wheelarches for the future bigger tyres. when i came to paint it i couldnt match the white so i saw a picture of a 55 so copied it. once ive finnished the welding on the doors its going in for a respray in bright orange!!!
