Derek (Darwood), nice rig. I guess you can regear with 315s, some people seem to just go with stock gear with that size. My plan is to keep the stock tires with 6" lift for daily driving and get a seperate set of (5) 37s (BFG Krawlers) or Micheline XZL 9.0 (36s) for my offroad events. I may go 295 or 305 for regular driving. I prefer not to drive in a daily basis with 315s or 37s on, yeah it will hurt the gas mileage. Ofcourse I shall regear to 5.29s for the 37s or 36s.

With no roof rack of any kind it is just about 7 feet tall - kinda hard to get accurate, but it's somewhere there or a couple of inches taller. It could squeeze under a 7 1/2 foot opening.

You have a wee bit of a learning curve ahead ..

Welp, I guess I do
. I know 5.29s are way too mcuh for the stock tires. I haven't got the kit, tires and wheels yet. I will let ya all know when I do, with pics.

It's not really much more involved than the OME lift, it's all the same parts. . . Springs, shocks, either new control arms or some form of castor correction. Go to slee.com and read the OME and then look up any of the extra pieces you may want to add (like the adjustable panhard and/or the adjustable rear control arms).

That's it! I need more lift!
Corbs,
I noticed you do not have a rear bumper. Were you able to adjust the rear upper arms enough to get rid of the drive shaft wine? Mine only does it on light deceleration, like coasting down a hill.

I carry 120 lbs of gravel in the back and a bunch of tools so I haven't had much of an issue. I actually haven't even installed the adjustable rears. . . the driveline angle looked fine so I didn't bother. The back still does feel too light as it'll "hop" a little on speed bumps where as the front will roll over them quite nicely.
I plan to get a rear bumper eventually but with the excepting of the speed bumps it rides fine.

I live in kirkenes and i get most of my oil from russia (1/4 of the price it would be in norway)
(Diesel are now at 1,5$/liitre in norway)
Oh and it's a slee lift , i have searched the internett and caled and mailed arond the world for some time before setteling on the slee kit and for those of you that want a bolt-on kit this is probably the best lift you will find.

Clownmidget, just curious, why did you have the whole front end of the cruiser taken apart?
MLX450 said:
No, I don't plan on doing the gears myself. I figure I should let someone who knows how to set them up right do the job. I think it probably takes 3 or 4 setups to understand how to set up diff gears properly and I just don't see myself doing that anytime soon. I may however pull the 3rd members and bring those into the shop to save money.
I'm still debating as to whether I should go 4.56's or 4.88's. I'm leaning towards 4.56's since that will get the speedo back to stock with 315/75/16's.

That was during my temporary loss of sanity where I thought it would be a good idea to do the 6" spring lift, machine out my front control arms, weld in the adjustable caster, do a 1 inch body lift and install a used Safari turbo w/ intercooler in my driveway.
