Post by: JDMCRX on August 29, 2005, 06:27:11 PM: Well guys did some off roading still have the 1.5" rear and with 3 guys in the truck went threw some ditches in a 45 deg angle no problems all wheels made contact. I will have the 2" rear done next week i hope.

Im trying to find a fork lift to lift the wheels and see how much articulation i can get.

Post by: 2K1USGV on March 09, 2006, 02:45:13 PM: What's the part number for the shocks in the rear? Are they longer than stock?

Post by: AJMBLAZER on March 10, 2006, 04:27:34 AM: Those are the front shocks for a '89 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60. Any make shock for that application will work great for his lift. 8)

Any word on the instructions yet?

Post by: truckasaurus44 on March 13, 2006, 10:11:46 AM: Any sudjestions on how to use this lift and retain the stock strut brace (The bar going over my engine). Also, how did you get your alignment back in order after the lift. I'm not really cool with cam bolts as I've seen them shear off. Do most people egg out the upper strut hole or can you do a Hagen style widening job on the front(relocationg the rear A-Arm mount hole and frankenstein the CV's to match the new width) I'm considering selling me Sammy and making my daily driver (2000 Tracker 2dr) into the weekend trail rig. If I do, this kit is at the top of my to-buy list.

Post by: AJMBLAZER on March 14, 2006, 03:30:18 AM: BDS makes strut extensions that screw onto the top of the strut shaft. That's what myself and a few others are using to avoid the cutting the bar.
