Hey great write-up! I just got a "new" used 100 and came across this in my research. Also in my research I have found a lift by extremelandcruiser.com that will do 4, 6, 8" lifts in a method similar to say a Procomp Chevy IFS lift moving the whole front-end down essentially. Has anyone seen it or tried it or heard anything about it? I called the guy and it's about $5k for the 4" kit.
Another lift I found is by justdifferentials.com which adds to the typical torsion bar/coil spring kit by adding upper control arms and longer shocks to add down travel. It looks pretty sweet. They have spec'd some King shocks (or bilstein's) for this application. Have you or anyone heard about, seen, tried this setup?
Thanks!
Congrats on your buy!
***I don't know of anybody who's tried one of those extreme kits. I'd have to know more about them before I could draw a conclusion.
***The other option I'd not use if the parts were given to me. The 100 doesn't need new upper arms. And using one that does not offer a sealed bushing would never be considered by me. The cost to that combo is a rip-off in my opinion. Adding a bit more droop (1") does very little and compromises CV angle as well. If you want more overal articulation then add it in the rear where it's cheap, reliable and available with up to 2"+ more travel.
There might be a better shock than OME for some people but not for many. Very hard to beat OME and OME-L.
