Can you measure from the bottom of the frame to the top of the axle housing for me?

Not the spring pad but the actual round part of the housing.

 

[Trapper50cal]

?

Sure, when a get a free moment and a dry parking spot...

Why?

I am debating between the OME heavies and getting a set of 4" lift alcans.

My fenders are seriously hogged out so 35's almost fit with no lift. I am just curious to know how much lift you have over what I currently do.

 

[Trapper50cal]

Well...

Well obviously the frame jumps up as it enters the engine bay area...do you want the measurement from where the frame goes across the dif area?

I think the prevailing wisdom (regardless of wether or not one likes alcans) is that the steel is a bit mild and loses some of its arch, hence starting
with 5 inchers that sagged to 4.5 or so. Nice and soft and flexy though.

 

[Mace]

Yep, right at the bumpstop..

I "think" that the ome heavies will be plenty for me.

but I don't want to do this more than once.

BTW, looks awesome...

 

[NocalFJ60]

Those 33x10.5's in the first picture?

 

[dtrain]

Looks good! Stock gearing in the diffs? If so, Is performance bearable?

Maybe I missed it but... is this the one that Ige built to give away?

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Looks fantastic!! Now I know that I am going to buy alcans as opposed to going soa.

2.5 inch backspacing on the wheels?

 

[cando john]

looks nice ...how do they ride ?

 

[Dirtgypsy]

sweet!!

Could you post a straight side shot??

Also just springs or body lift as well?

thanks,

clint

[cfdlighthouse]

[Roark]

very nice...

which rim ( numbers please) and what size are the tires?

once again very very nice..

 

[Bookseeb]

Nice rig and tires.

 

[made4surf]

Were those 33x10.5 you had on before? Just asking because I'm thinking of switching to those instead of my 32x11.5.
BTW, the 35's look great.

 

[mtb_rider]

Looks nice. A nice fit with the amount of lift. Good to know...for the future, you know.

 

[Trapper50cal]

Thanks

Thanks, I truly love it, I am so lucky Ige gave me such a great rig to start with.
I will do that measurement as soon as I can. Kinda snowy here right now.
