Project LTD GX

[LTD FJ]

You need to straighten your wheel/tire - as having it cocked like that will make a difference.

Also - my measurement is for the rear of the vehicle.

I matched my rear bags Normal setting to exactly to my front measurements.

That means my front and rears are 36 1/8" all the way around in the normal setting.

My rear lifts to 37 1/2" in the HIGH position but the front will always stay at 36 1/8"

I did measure all the way around. Everything was right @ the 38, even the rear. I tricked the rear airbags, so they are inflated, but the indicator on the dash is "N" Getting dark here now, so will remeasure tomorrow. I'm sure when Dan gets back, he could give you a more accurate measurement. Didn't think you could inflate the bags more when they were tricked?

I know mine went up 5-5.5" from where I was stock. I have a bumper on the front with a 12k winch now so my measurements won't compare...but I will say this:

It has plenty of room (I rub a little at full lock on the inner frame). The lift is NOT made to run without aftermarket gear. I had my front narrow by 1/4" on each side post lift without bumper. It made it bouncy and handle poorly. Now it drives amazingly well, I am back out to stock spacing, and the ride/steering is improved. I would hesitate to even bother measuring or comparing anything until you have it at the full duty weight intended for the various components.

Next lift I do, I'll definetly do a before and after measure. If you want to see more various photos of my 08 FJ build, click the link. I have galleries for the different things I did.

The problem is NOT driving. When I had my 07 FJC, we drove to Watkins Glenn and made stops in Tellico and went on a trail or two. My GPS, which I usually never use, took us on a road called Joe Brown Highway. It was NOT a highway, but an unpaved road that we traveled on for what seemed to be 20 or so miles. Anyways, got to do a couple of laps around Watkins Glenn in the FJC, then went over to Jersey, because our company was having a 68' Viking built, then came back down the coast. It was a cool trip and I love driving!!! Problem is, our cruising season started March1st and goes thru the end of August. Getting time off is @ a premium. The and I are celbrating our 1yr anniversary in the finger lakes region up there.

Measuring suspension lift from the ground isn't as helpful as measuring from the center of the hub to the flare. People have different tires and that throws of comparisons.
