TJM progressive springs + Fox shocks

[Stuparman]

Just did my lift yesterday. Stock 93 cruiser with third row seats. Gained 3 inches all around and a level stance. Ride quality is good. Ran a mix of bumpy in town roads, highway, and washboard dirt road with some potholes. I think I could use a little more weight to smooth things out, but huge improvement over the stock shocks/springs. Washboard rattled pretty good, but also didn't air down. Hitting a speed table at 30mph was very controlled. Shocks absorbed the hit very nicely.

Still running stock tires for now, trying to decide between 295s and 315s. Also haven't installed caster correction yet. Didn't notice any difference in steering on the freeway. Will likely still install the bushings when I have a chance.

This is the combo I plan on

This is the combo I have. You are on target with the weight statement. Overall good setup though. Congrats.

my 10 cents for you , if you choose this path this is what you need to make this correct and pullet proof .
1. TJM progressive spring 2" lift
2. TJM tiger shocks - no idea about FOX but rumors that FOX are high
maintenance , your call you got what you got.
3. TJM Caster correction kit
4. TJM rear 30mm spring spacer - this will give you extra rear 1" lift trust me you need this will look awesome and towing will be better
5. Tough Dog return to the center steering damper - I haf Old man EMu but with 315 did bad
6. front double yoke cardan SVC - o you need this for sure after you install Caster correction kit front cardan will be out alignment and not for too long will kill your transfer case , so this is a must to have if considering Caster correction.
7. 315 tires

- if you want I can take some picture of my rig so you cal look

Hit a local speed table at 35mph. Very impressed with how well the truck took the hit. Smooth compression then very quick to settle back out.
