[colocruiser303]

whats up guys,
I have a 94 that i bought with a OME 2.5" kit, rear kaymar, and 285 BFG AT's. I want to go to 315's or 35's and from what i understand J and L springs are the way to go. what else would i need to buy and do to do this lift right. what shocks, what needs to be relocated, brake lines? Im new to land cruisers and any info would help. thanks

To "do it right" you should consider the 4" Slee kit.

Many have used J-springs with 1.5" spacers, caster plates, and OME L-shocks. Many of these have not needed drive shafts, some have needed CV shafts, some have not. With larger lifts you'll need to lower the sway bars and lower the bump stops. There is a good article on Christo's web site discussing the various things you need to consider when choosing to run 35" tyres. Also read the FAQ here in the 80-Section.

Most lifts over stock will require extended brake lines and diff breathers. Yours may already have both done. You'll need to adjust your LSPV to compensate for whatever lift you choose.

thanks, Im trying to stay away from spending the 2 grand on the 4 inch kit. I figure about $650 with shocks springs and caster correction. What about those extended lines what would i be looking at there?

Since you are in Colorado, the alt and mtns already drain a lot of power. Going to 315's wil make it a big dog unless you re-gear.

You can run the regular OME lift with the L shocks and lower the bumps about 1.5" - 2". You'll get decent performance and won't need the 1000 other little items that add up to more than you want to spend right now. That money would be better spent on 4.88 gears... in the future if you find more lift is required for reasons other than tire stuff clearance. Folks around here will help set ya' up.
