A major advantage of the OME stock height 861/862 coils is that no caster correction will be necessary. If you go to the 2.5" lift, caster correction become quite likely.

For the use you described, the stock height will serve you well. Going higher has advantages and it has disadvantages. It will cost more to build and more to run. Unless you need it, not worth the hassle. In my case, it wouldn't go in the garage, either Note that the 861/862 will look higher, but after a few months that will settle and you'll be back where you started, EXCEPT you'll have decent coils providing much improved performance over the tired originals.

The stockish tires are going to look a little odd, but unless they need updating and the rubber's good, go ahead and get more miles out if them, then get new tires when you're looking at a. road trip, freshen them. Getting to 33s is just a matter of asking for them, nothing else needed. Then you'll have a vehcile with the capabilities to outdrive (in the woods at least) 99%+ of all vehicles legal for road use. Spending thousands more to attain supremacy over the rest of them (mostly other Land Cruisers, anyway) can be a hobby in itself. If you need to just get there, the stock 80 will do the job.

ah. THANKS for that. awesome help GT. big thanks....
