Worked out most of the bugs. Time for the lift. Plan was to go OME from Kurt with a set of 33x10.5 -15 Km2's that I just picked up cheap. Then I ran across this: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/my-fj60-rebuild.553468/
Really dig the tall skinnys.
I used search and read reviews. Even though the author of the thread I cited ^ downplayed any problems, if I went with the Swampers I anticipate road handling issues, noise, power loss/need to regear, poor performance in rain & snow, etc... Maybe I'm kidding myself but I think I could deal with all of that. It's the clearance issues and manners off road that I'm mostly concerned about. Can anyone give me firsthand feedback on what I could expect if I went with this set up?
I use the truck as a DD. A work truck that includes off roading. The adventure wagon for the adolescents I work with. I want to keep it a little modest. Not trying to do SOA right now. But I am trying to set it up so the 60 will at least be capable of moving through similar terrain I've traveled with my 80. Visual aids:
