So on my 96 land cruiser I am running 35s (stock gears) with the heavy duty OME 2.5" shocks and coils with some extended bump stops so there Is no rub. I also have the OME caster correction bushing in and 1.5" wheel spacers. I am going to be changing out the suspension for a better setup that'll hopefully be more smooth and flex better. Here is what the plan is:
-3.5" Dobinsons front tapered coils
-3" Dobinsons rear tapered coils
-4"-6" Icon shocks front and back
So if anybody could help me out and let me know what issues there may be in this setup or some things I might run into. I saw on another thread that you can pair the 3" Dobinsons tapered with 4"-6" shocks for more downtravel, while also extending bumpstops so the shock doesn't bottom out. I've also heard that Icon 2.0 and fox 2.0 are pretty similar. If y'all know any shocks that ride pretty smooth, let me know of some good ones. My end goal is to have 38s on beadlocks similar to @GW Nugget, but eventually with a 3link in place. I saw that he did the 1" body lift. I think that'll help with uptravel and less trimming. I might put in the body lift just to skip out the trimming eventually, but that's later down the road. Also might eventually get Delta's 1" bumpstop spacer with the hydraulic bump (not sure if I'll need a coil spacer anyways). If any of y'all have any suggestions, some insight, or any information that would help me before I jump into this project, please let me know. (also on a teenage lifeguard money budget here) Thanks!
