Well, front suspension is about 6" of lift. 5" all-pro leaves and the spring hanger together with the all-pro shackles. I guess that evens out on 6".

So I need atleast 6" rear too... But I prefer the rear to be just a little bit taller than the front. So 7" would be great...

But, the question is. Do these 7" slee`s seem like the best option???

Since no-one did say anything, I just had to order these SOF5RM 6" lift coils for a HDJ-80. Slee - Springs
The price was acceptable, I guess it will take a few weeks before they arrive here...

But looking forward to it

Pro comp adapters mounted on the upper arms. I really like the result, the arms are level now. This I think will improve flexing, especially downwards

Mounted the winch today, just had to cut out the bumper peace that was in the way. Warn m-8000 in front, also have an detachable Tabor 9k winch which I may either use in front if the warn fails, or in my multi-mount rear.

The front looks great!! The rear is what I am wondering about.....with the panhard at that steep of an angle the axle must way off center. Are you getting driveline vibrations? What springs are you running?

Yes, I`m getting driveline vibrations. The rear axle are way off center, about 2". But an adjustable panhard is in the mail, and the pro comp panhard-drop adapter. So this will be fixed soon.

Today I run 3,5" pro comp coils rear, with a 2" all-pro spacer and need about an inch or two more. So I ordered slee 6" coils a few days ago which will arrive in a few weeks. Hopefully this will work, its the last resort before I do a leaf conversion...

What do you think Marc?

I am really happy about the tires, worked great in snow. A friend drove behind me in my tracks with 35-bfgs... they looked like bicycle tires...

The ride is sooooo smooooooooooooooooth!!! Like driving a water bed

Actually the local 4x4club is a volantary part of the local red cross organisation. So you could say that

But the geografi here is much different from iceland so the use for these types of wehicles are limited

I am not to kean on the cruiser stuff so what does the BJ stand for and I am not meaning Blow Job either.I see you got the straight axle completed it looks good.Is it street legal in your earlier post you were having problems with DMV.

I have set up a few Toy 3rd member with 5:71's.But it been a long time ago,the one thing that I had problem with was the pinion hit the stock case before when I added the shim under it the bearing. So I had problems getting the depth rite with stock case.I had no problem with the pinion hitting Detriots and ARB'S plenty of clearence.

B=diesel, F=gasolin. It had a 13B engine instead of the stock B engine. But the model nr is the same. What the J stands for, I dont know.

Mounted the last pro-comp 4-link adapters a few days back, what a difference!!! The twisting motion when I put the throttle down is now gone, It performs better and handles better. No more vibrations!!!

Very very happy, and I strongly recommend this setup to lifted linked-runners!

Will post pix, but need to take a few first...

Just to ask here... I think I will get new tires in a week or two... How does 39,5 Iroks sound???

I just got them, but I want bias tires...

And new 39,5 irok bias for the same amount as I get for my 38 SSr... So it wont cost me nothing...

I'm a working man, if you call financial adviser work...

But I wouldn't advise anyone to start spending this kind of money on a soon to be 20 year old runner...
