Looks good!

Looking real good!! That is the height and look I am going for!
And I think you have finally convinced me to break down and buy a set of the 62 Mirrors the next time I head to Cali to see the rents. There is a toyota auto yard there I know has them and I can grab them from!

Thanks! Grab me a set, these are the CCOT ones and the vibrate a bit.

Kurt, do your sway bar extension kits include bushings for where the sway bar mounts to the axle? Mine rattle like crazy.

Negative but we have those (OME brand) for some models in stock, rubber for others. I'm beefing up my offerings in this arena but we have decent coverage. There are a couple of different diameter swaybars, if you measure yours and call I can check into poly versus rubber replacements. Now the extended sway bar kits we send with the OME kits have the new bushings, rubber but we are looking into a poly option for those as well.

And is this Toyota yard anywhere near San Diego?

Oh and I am research whore by nature so I can usually find just about anything if I put my mind to it and it really interests me.

 

[gregnash]

And to bring this back on track...

Kurt, will hopefully be calling you this summer for a kit for BeBe. The look that Zhenya got is exactly what I am looking for, stance and all (hoping for no stink bug).

Great, would love to help you out. Zhenya's rig turned out great, makes me want another 60 (thankfully I have a misses that keeps me on track with my wants )

 

[nfranco]

Thank you gregnash.
Kurt is great to deal with.

A quick update:

The ride is really getting nicer and nicer these past few miles. I have no Stinkbug and no cruiserlean. More pictures hopefully this weekend!

Here was my setup:

FL CS004F 0
FR CS004F -
RL CS004RB + no spring isolator pads
RR CS004RB + no spring isolator pads

 

[Zhenya]

Another update.

The ride is getting even better. Had the alignment double checked by Sears, everything was DEAD ON BALLS accurate.

I still need to get the extended rear line and put that in.

Post an up close pic of the front shackle? I am doing mine next weekend, and trying to figure out right side up and which way the anti inversion bolt points.

Thank you very much!
John
PS Looks great, are those 33's?

I will try and get a photo - the rig is across the village in a garage.

Yep these are 10.5 x 33. I wish i could have found 9.5.

John if your front shackles are in the stock location by the front bumper, then you want the anti inversion pin pointing towards the rear of the vehicle.

Thank you

The short leg of the triangle at the top?

Also, are the + - marks on the spring someplace? I don't see them on the labels on my OME springs
