Hey John what's up? TJM & Slee are progressive type coils last time I checked Sir...
I have the slee 4" HD progressive rears. The "progressive" portion at the top of the spring is pretty much collapsed under the weight of my unladen 80. Christo Slee told me that the "progressive" coils affect how the spring works with the shock.
I took that to mean once the stiff, less compressed, section is completely extended, the upper wraps with then decompress effectively keeping my spring in place and offering some downforce on that tire.
I really like the slee springs when they are loaded and I'm on rough terrain especially sketchy side hills. For now OME L shocks do the job fine at that price. I don't believe a "best of both worlds" suspension exists. With every change comes compromise.

Winch under factory bumper. Some "scratches" filled. Repainted bumper. Installed. With anti-seize, this time.
That's Billy...@thebrassknucklesFirst time seeing this one in town, was way bigger than mine lol
This is something I want to try.. Did you fab or buy the winch plate?
@GW Nugget you never spell my name right!!
@bhsdriller i have had my 89 for around 2 years now, but I just got 37's a few months ago. Before that it was on some old 315's. It's much larger now.
It's also my wife's car now. As she needs the 3rd row to haul around all 4 kids.

Treated her to a night in the garage so she can ride out the storm without getting hurt...

Mine is always garaged. Screw the other cars I have. The queen will always be treated right.

Looks great! what did you use to paint it? Details on the winch plate would be great too.

It will likely be down in my area by lunchtime. I'll watch out for it...
Not quite the weekend, but I hear the sound of my awesome daughter and my favorite white 97 Cruiser coming up the driveway, home from school for the weekend. Happy now!
Only 3 of the four wheels are on it, so keep an eye out for the fourth separatelyIt will likely be down in my area by lunchtime. I'll watch out for it...

Tires came in before I've gotten around to the lift. Couldn't resist. Looks like I'll be avoiding speed bumps for the next week...

Looks good @Bludozer !
There's another thread about that blue paint, right now. You might drop in and let them know your color code.
What color is this?

Thanks! Really liking the big tire +no lift combo appearance. Definitely won't be loving it on the trail though.
Obviously I'm biased but there is no better color on an 80 than nightshadow pearl blue
