Thanks.
I'm in Reno all the time but haven't had a reason to drive the 40 down there, don't know why I would when I have several other more appropriate cars to drive on a twisty mountain interstate with big rigs crashing all the time lol.
This is for cruising around the basin and exploring roads and trails up here.

I’ve noticed I have to pull my self up holding onto the steering wheel as I have my right foot on the floor of the cab. For me, the extra lift is more noticeable but so is my age
Getting old isn't for sissies - but for a while it beats the alternatives. Every day above ground is worth 2 in the dirt - maybe more.
Well if you need a reason, there's an active cruiser club down here and we happen to have a meeting Thursday evening
In any case, if you ever are in Carson city let me know

I caved and ordered a set of the TT parabolics for my '72 FST to refresh the OEM suspension. Looking forward to comparing it to the OME 2.5" I had on my old 40. Everything I've read says it should be a much nicer ride than OME.
Likely will stick with the stock 15's and do 33's of some kind. But I haven't ruled out the 16's from City Racer yet.

...But avoid MTs if you ever have to drive on snow...
At least that's my experience.
(Says the guy with MTs on his 40 that lives in a place that averages 200+ inches of snow a year)

I think you’d be hard pressed to find anything bad with them…I was truly dead set against spending the money on them after spending a fair amount on other upgrades. These upgrades made the 40 so much better that I literally had to upgrade that 50 year old suspension or consider all those great changes moot. Good luck with them. Looking forward to seeing your review
That makes two of us!!!
