Lifting the 62

[dbenke]

I picked up a set of 2 1/2 in. OME springs today from a fellow UC member in Columbia. (cheap)
I will probably go to Docs to put them on unless another friend of mine gets one in Summerville (soon)
Just one more project, still have to get Scotts 40 back together, also.

I'm hoping to run 35/12.50/15s (KM2s) on it...we'll see

I'll measure and take pics before and after

Let me know when you head to Docs, I might be in a position to help out.

Sounds good will be nice to see the 62 again. but unless you plan on body or additional 35's might need some trimming ofthe fender. We will see!!!

I dont think the 35's will fit with the 2.5 springs. You'll have to trim the fenders or SR to make the fit like doc said.

I've got the original springs on there now, with 33's. They are almost flat. I guess we will see.

My brother had 35's on his with 2.5" springs and a mild shackle lift. He had plenty of room afterward, so you will probably be in the same spot you are now with just the springs. A little inner fender well rub at full compression. Just cut the damn things to keep it low and stable with 35's.

I had 4" Alcans on my 62 and with no sways it rubbed with 33" bfg mts. 35s may fit but if you do any real wheeling they will rub or get out the grinder and trim it up.

Can you say " sawzall?" It may surprise us all! You never know!

 

[dbenke]

I expect some rub, and that's alright. I just don't want to tear them up like my right rear on the Jeep.
I have lift shackles to put on it also.
