Finally got Alcans under my 40. Took a few tries to get the measurements right, but it was worth the effort. I just need to get some shocks and a steering damper / stabilizer and I should be set as far as the suspension goes. Then just a few minor items and my marathon project should be complete... Then off to Barrett Jackson... :doh: :D :rolleyes:

Hard to say for sure what lift in inches, maybe 6" overall. Shackle reversal added some and longer shackles in the rear added to 3" front and 5" or so rear springs.

The wheels are 16's.

The Red was a custom blend by a local paint shop. Hard to really tell in the picture, but it has a lot of Orange in it.
 
real nice color n tires..congrats..when you can,,will you tell me the height from floor to bottom at the front axle..just curious ..now get some mud...lol
 
Nice. Those wheels sorta bum me out... But that's just me of course.
 
Great looking wheels mate. Even though i like the OEM look also, those wheels sure do look tough and fit your 40 well. :)
 
Slick looking rig. Looks like you did your homework and did not cut any corners. The only suggestion I will make is do something to protect those mufflers (some kind of sliders) if you plan on wheeling it.
 
Thanks for the comments...

Green 73, The plan is to redo the exhaust, haven't figured out what to do yet. But, it is going to change for sure.

Macneil, I hear you on the wheels... I had a heck of a time trying to find the "right" wheel. I settled a little based on cost, fit and size. The simulated lock is a bit of a downer, but I didn't want to have some loud blingy wheel. I thought about factory steel with hub caps, and may still go that route.
