Lower coilover mounts, GenRight Offroad, $100 http://www.genright.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=RSM1010#.VIfUbjHF9bJ
Coilover towers option #1, Ballistic Fab, $108 http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/Adjustable-Shock-Towers_p_1867.html
Coilover towers option #2, Ruff Stuff, $109 http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/STOWER12.html
Ruff Stuff towers would require notching to clear steering shaft like @Booger weldz did:

too much porn!! my hands are getting tired!
Wow
@jcardona1 Any word on when you are getting the kit? Stoked for you. Also have you been talking to them about the rear too? I asked and they said one person was getting ready to do a whole build... Guess I'll wait. If nothing planning maybe next year to go for a three link rear.

I got it! Scroll up a few posts. I haven't even thought about the back yet. Think I'm gonna leave it the way it is for now but I am curious to see what he comes up with.
Awesome dude!
True LC80 suspension porn there, the 100 guys couldn't make chit look this good!
Ironically, you said 'leave'.not unlike leaf. As in leaf spring
Thought has crossed my mind too. But coilovers are just so shiny and blingy and look sooo much cooler

Sometimes you have to kick a little A$$
Mi really like the 3 link kit looks killer! I wonder if this can be made to fit a pass hp60 and 70 rear.. Hmmm

So are 2.5" resevoir smooth bodies and a traction bar(sorta)

Thanks guys! An expensive purchase no doubt, but one that will transform this trail like no other on the trails. At least that's how I justify it to myself
Ah the 100-series forum, where painting your wheels and changing wiper blades is considered "tech"

I have thought about that. Seems like it would be so much easier and address of all the crappy geometry you talk about on a lifted 80. I know the cool kids say it's like going backwards but sometimes the KISS principle applies. You can't argue the fact that leafs work and are dead simple. I wanna see what somebody else does first though regarding shocks. I don't really like the idea going through the floor as I have the cargo area setup how I like it, air compressor, drawer slides for my ice chest, 4x4Labs rack...
I'm sure you could make it work if you really wanted to. But by then I think you'd be better off buying all the brackets and mounts from Ruff Stuf and go full DIY. Because when all is said and done you would have lost all the benefit of a 4WU kit, brackets tailored specifically for the 8" HP in an 80.
