Well, thinking about a mild lift on my 55, just starting to toss around the idea. I weighed a lot of options with my 78- ended up springing her over with FJ60 power steering. It worked great- that old girl wheeled well and went down the road straight as an arrow with 35" mud terrains on it.
But I don't want to go through all that work for a street truck, and don't want to be as high as I was with the SOA piggy. Looking to see what springs/shocks I can buy and bolt on to get a 3-4" lift- any suggestions will be appreciated. As I recalkl OME doesn't make a package for a 55, right? I recenly parted a 60 with Dobinson springs- they looked great, the truck sat nicely, and I've been told they ride well as well as flex well. Are they available for a 55? I also recall someone on ther forum maybe offering an OME package that would require some mods that need welding- who is this? Anyone have experience with this setup?
In any event I am looking for suggestions, pro and con. I want to do this once, and do it right the first time. Thanks, Gary S
