lift/suspension pics of 60s

[kevin in okinawa]

Heres a picture of mine It was dark and the picture came out lame but you get the idea. I went spring over axle last weekend and I love it. Its sitting on 35" km2s I don't even have my shocks on yet and I still think it rides great. .

the twin to my truck it seems i too rode for two months with old a$$ front shocks and none in rear, it rode pretty good. now have es9000 procomps all around, 4X4lab hysteer, KM2s, rides nicer than with the 2.5" SUA lift.

SOA is the bees knees, period.

That is what I am leaning towards why invest the money in a SUA spring upgrade when I can do an SOA and recurve my springs and then later upgrade the springs if I want. Has anyone had there springs recurved?

Alcan 5" lift with 35" tires, 2.5" backspacing, loaded up on the Death Valley trip with my dad and son and all the gear -

I get a little bit of rubbing on the front tires.

I might eventually go SOA but I really like my current setup and feel I can carry a lot of stuff with good stability as it currently is setup. Plus I got a really good deal on this lift. I bought it used.

Terrain Tamer 3". Seem to be heavies. Love 'em, but the truck is a little "stink bug" (like the front is 2"and the rear is 3 - 3 1/2" 31X10.5x15 tires. Can't wait to replace them, but need to wait for to become a need and not just a want.

The back is on a small dirt mound, it isn't THAT stink bug....

Nothing too tall here, and it's my DD when I'm in the states.

Lift: 2.5 HD OME on 32X11.5X15

Weight: 4X4 Labs rear with 3 can holder(129lbs) and SROR sliders 300 - 400 extra pounds, and will be adding to the weight with aa ARB front and 8274 in the near future.

I may add longer shakles too.

I will be at PISMO, south of the main MOB, flying The Stares and Stripe and Marine Corps Flag from a 20' flag pole.

Hope to see you there.

Definitely see you there Boerboel. Just waiting for those GPS coords.

Has any one used the MAF shackle reveral kit. How does it handle. Is it better than just a OME lift.

Thnaks for the info on heavy or meduim. I will go with heavy but I want to know if the MAF kit is worth it. Do you get better articulation with it.

Thats a nice truck Kevin I'll have to get some good pictures in the daylight.

I wouldn't spend the money on any lift at all if you are even considering Spring Over. I think I saw on proffits theyll do it for less than 1500 plus whatever parts you need extra. Like steering $400, drive shaft work and some new shocks/ brake lines. Probably an axle rebuild kit. I would think this would be the way to go. Probably looking at around 2500-3k and you don't even have to do the work. I did it myself and it wasn't really bad just a little time consuming and a little drain on the pocketbook but well worth it. I'm having some custom long travel high angle drive shafts made so I'll be in it about $1700 total for the whole project when i'm done. The ride blows me away though I couldn't believe how well it drives even at 80.
