4"+ Lift Anyone?

[LandCruiserPhil]

I could do almost any trail with current articulation and that lift height/tire size. It gets the big body and overhangs out of the whay and provides more gorund clearance. I'm sure you'ld need CV shafts like on my 80.

With the pictured set up, a front CV driveline is definitely not what you would want. In order to be a candidate for a CV driveline the pinion needs to point at the output of the transfer case.

Yes, though you'll need to add 20mm of trim packs to the top of the spring. Need 3" total lift in back.

I was looking at pictures of your 100, how much difference is there between the front and rear height?

Ya, maybe not. I'm not sure how this Japanese example actually rides and wheels.

IF I can slap on an IFS setup that "works" and is "reliable" then I see the benefit because the body of the truck is now out of the way and I can do those 80-ish lines I couldn't before due to size. Not interested in SAS.

No, standard 2" lift with 2+" body lift.

I think that's a 2" in inch lift and a 4" inch body lift... or something similar to that. Others can jump in and correct if I'm wrong.

EDIT: [ Yeah, what hoser said ]

Not to hi-jack the thread, but does anyone know what kind of wheels are on that LC? I really like them.
