help with Lift and wheel I.D.

[charboucher]

It has really been bugging me not knowing what lift this is, and what these wheels are. They seem to be some giant oem wheels off of something they weigh a ton.The tires are 33X12.50
The Lift, I am cant tell if its a 2.5 or 4 inch lift. There is a huge gap between the rear axle and bumpstop. like 6 inches or so. The leaf springs have 6 parts and look pretty hefty. maybe oem with lift shackles? I'll let the pictures do the rest.

rims maybe chevy..... 16.5...not Toyota

Shocks not OEM.....springs look after market as do shackles..

Living in WA...you may want to extend that axle breather

Have a better idea of how big of a lift...measure pin to pin on shackles, also gorund to front bumper and ground to rear bumper/crossmember. Im thinking 4" but without measurements or at least a side view...very hard to tell

Kind of look like old Chevy truck rims. I am no expert but looks like about a 4" lift, shackles look maybe homemade?

Are all your wheels the same size? I'm just thinking someone found a weird wheel tire combo for the spare. How 'bout a front and side view of the whole rig.

Yeah all the wheels match....no markings though.

Here are a few from earlier this month before the back end was painted

why don't you just wheel it

 

[skidplate]

Wheels look to be customised chevy wheels, They look deeper than anything stock, as far as I know. It looks as though you may have a 2.5 " lift in front and possibly a 4" lift in back. If I'm seeing correctly you have longer shackels in the rear than the front. Just my opinion. By the way, nice looking cruiser.

DSRTRDR, I still haven't had the chance. It sat in a field for two years up in Alaska and I want to at least go over all mechanical and engine before hitting the trails.

Skidplate, thanks. That would make sense as I know after time the fj40 squat looks kinda goofy so maybe it was set up to help that. When I had the hard top and gear in it, it didn't really sag much at all which was nice.
