So after having spent the last two weeks using the search button on this forum, I have still come up empty handed (or maybe it's just more confused from so much info). Here's the deal: I have a 75 FJ40 350 SBC, front winch, heavy full roll cage, heavy rear bumper/swing out tire rack/3 Jerry cans, rear aux fuel tank, Rancho 43033 front springs w/ 2-3/4" eye-eye shackles, Rancho 43133 rear springs w/ 4-1/4" eye-eye shackles and 33-12.50-15 Toyo Mud's. Rear fenders are trimmed with Bushwacker flares.
The lift was installed by PO and was not driven much at all. The rig handles excellent (for a TLC) on the road as a daily driver but seems kinda harsh off road. I haven't had the chance to try flexing yet because I have a loud banging noise from underneath somewhere that I am still trying to find (possibly suspecting that the military wrap may be hitting the spring perch up front because of such short shackles in the front....still investigating).
My issue is that I think the rig sits to low for what I would like it to and I would love to clear 35's. I don't want to do a SOA. I called Cool Cruisers today and they said that their 4" lift would not clear 35's. I believe the Rancho lift is 2.5" but not sure since it's no longer available.
So what would be a good lift to get those 35's under there and to give the machine the beast look (but not the monster truck look). It will be used as a daily but I will wheel it on the weekends and still want some good flex, but it's not a rock crawler.
Any ideas or suggestions.....I'm listening....
