Lifting my 100, will I be happy?

[Landpimp]

Hell I have lifted 1/2 dozen cruisers with no regrets, but my 100 is my client hauling rig and the most normal Cruiser I own, I need it to ride nice and not have issue because of what I have done to it.

So will I be happy with a lift on it? will I have issues down the road because of the lift?

Sorry for the lame question but I was laying in bed last night thinking about this. I suspect its a non issue.

Why do you want to lift it?

John, the suspension does make it drive a lot better. Just like a regular ome on a 80. The front is not as soft and it corners a lot better.

because I can that and I hung a bull bar off the front end sunday

its looks so low to the ground, I have to use ramps to change the oil as I cant fit under it.......unlike every other cruiser I own

I'll take that as the word then

looks like I am pickin up Derek's t-bars and springs, so they are the bars you use to sell, just worried they might be too stiff........but prolly not eh?

Because they look better that way. Just like white 80s look better with 40th Anniversary badges!

Oh, and pics of the new fenderless arrangement?

Lift 100

If you are ever up in the Everett/Arlington area you can take mine for a spin. I just fitted Ome torsion bars, 863 springs, shocks, and 305/70/16 terra grapplers, arb combo bar (12k winch on way)

The setup rides well, but will be better soon. I just picked up my n133's today since they weren't in stock when I got the other stuff, so the front tbars kind of overpower the stock shocks. The winch should smooth it out some too. The ride is more controled. I adjusted the front ride hieght a couple of inches, the 863 (80 series heavy) rear springs did 3". If you are not going to have a lot of weight in back, and you are not going for extra hieght, just stick with the springs reccomended for 100 series. I have pics at home, and have been meening to post them.
