Kirk,
tell me more about your LS2 powered 80. tranny / tcase combo? what axles? build thread?

Always loved the shortbus, even though truggies are not my thing. Not to many 80 truggies out there.

What tires are you running exactly?

6" Lift
38.5x14.5x16.5 TSL

OK I will play. IMHO 37"s are well worth the expense, effort to fit, they work very well with the '80 on the trail. In my experience, if the plan is to have full flex and body work, the key is relatively narrow tire and correct back space wheels, there isn't much room for error.

I run Cooper Discoverer STT in 37x12.5R17 on Tundra wheels, with 1.25" spacers, if doing it again, would go with 1" spacers. There is room on the inside, but under some conditions touch body work on the outside. The Tundra wheels have more backspace than stock wheels, so this setup is about like stock wheels with ~.5" spacer.

Rig setup is here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/44674-dont-swap-med-heavy-oem-springs-6.html#post5656882

You're trimmed in the back too it looks like ?

 

[Memphisacc]

looks more to me like the tire did its own trimming


and you have to read between like 3 threads to really gather what Tools R Us has done to his suspension...ive spent hours on it as i plan to closely follow most of the work he has done.

Ah, forgot about the cage. Who did the cage for you?

See my build thread...I'll update it with some better cage pics when I get home.
