Maximizing Rear Travel with 35's

[LandCruiserPhil]

Others have ask why my tires stay on the ground when wheeling. When it comes to the rear I maximized the rear travel when running 35's.

The how- I run 1.5" bump stops and 1" shock extensions while running OME "L" shocks. Needed parts picture below

Parts installed

With 1.5" rear bump stops you barely get wheel well tire contact under full hard compression/articulation running 35's on factory wheels. Contact pictured below.

When you bump stop you have loss shock travel on the compression end so by spacing the shocks you regain the loss and net more articulation. This all came into focus after removing the rear springs and cycling the suspension. Been running this set up for years getting all the travel I can out of OME "L"

If one has the skills and tools these are not hard to make but if you dont have the skills or tools contact me if interested.

I've had them for years, it's a good mod. It also helps a bunch to stay light on the brake and skinny pedal.

Are you running the "j" springs in the rear?

I was thinking you'd put on a few pounds at the last meeting, but I didn't want to bring it up.

I thought you wanted to keep it private but I glad I still have your interest. Looking forward to working them off with you
