I have a BDS 2.5" in my 60 and love it. I have 2"over shackles and fit 35"'s. The ride was a little stiff at first but broke in nicely. You may notice the rear will be a little higher after installation, but will settle down. Inexpensive lift, good equipment. Overall very happy. You may want to check your rear crossmember/shockmount. They are known to rust and when I installed the new shocks, they blew it right out. A little time consuming to fabricate/fix, but well worth doing it while youre under there. Watch out for your neighbor, he's been known to strip 'cruisers while thier owners are sleeping!

Dude, it was wet but it was way fun. Let Jer drive a lot. Lotta sleepin on the trail, but ya gotta expect it. There were some sweet 70' s there too. You'll see the pics. Later man
Yodafrick, you got any pics of your cruiser, I would like to see what it looks like with the 35s and the BDS.
All the material i looked up says that 35's wont fit that without sum serious rubbing or cutting of the body. anything done/ happen along those lines

straight... i'm just gonna start shopping around for shackles. i need to save as much cash as possible too so that i can get a new board.
I put in a 2.5 lift with slightly larger than stock shackles. I had to do some minor mods on the rear springs given the rubber boot wraps that went around the old springs. Overall, I'm pleased. Still a little stiff and bouncy, but it seems to be settling a little. I haven't had a chance to take it offroad yet. I bet some articulation would be helpful
