Hey everyone, i was walking to work today and spotted this very nicely setup FZJ80 Lexus and was wondering how much of a lift it had? parked in Boston right next to Bay village. at any rate there was a proudly displayed IH8MUD.COM sticker on the passenger side rear slider window
Pictures to see if the member is here and can answer some questions!
Were the springs yellow, gray or black? Looks like it's a bit stinkbug which might infer OME 4" or J's????
Also matters what size tires those are...look like 285's
the springs were yellow, initially thought they were OME, but i was more curious as to the height of the springs. it was pouring rain and i forgot to check the size of the tires, but they look to be around 33"? i was curious if it was a 2.5" lift. because its really exactly how high i want mine to sit.
I run Iron man 4x4 Med springs in the front from Eli at Camel 4x4 with OME Sport Shocks.
I have had them now for a few weeks and wheeled them at the Fall Gathering in NH and at Rausch at the Fall Crawl and am really impressed with them.
I also found that highway manners were greatly improved. Springs may have adjusted my caster back to where it was before (pre sag) a little.... (running Land Tank Caster Plates as well).
315/75/R16 KM2s and love them.
The J's were fine in the front in the begining but as the weight total in the front piled up those springs got the standard sag even with 1'' spacers.
I run J's in the rear with OME Nitro L shocks. There is a small rake but it dosen't bother me at all. When I have my drawer system in with all it's gear and my trailer attached it's up for the task and sits level.
Addressing the cladding issue in the next few weeks. A nice rock recently claimed some of my flares and I have some body work ahead of me but want to do it right instead of quickly and easy.
I may just do the Al's liner where the cladding was or do the whole truck in Al's liner tan. Being a truck from the North East I do have to contend with some rust though.
haha, did not remember to reply to this thread back when i started it, but i actually saw you again this morning driving through Bay Village seemingly looking for a spot, you parked right in front of my building ,6 Edgerly Place, where i work, i was going to come over and say hi, but we had a massive rush to get a project out today and i was already late at the time.
your truck really looks bad ass, makes me wish i had larger tires and a slightly higher suspension!
