Trowbow -

Just to confirm...

You have OME 927/948's
4 conduit nuts and a 3/8" spacer in the front
2 extra (total of 3 per side) isolators in the rear

Anything I am missing?

What size tires are you running?

Rig looks really great, just getting a feel for what was done and what mine would look like.

OME 948's/927's
Rancho RSX 17004's and 17505's
Boilers 3/8 spacer in the front
4 ring clevis
2 extra rear isolators totalling 3 per side
2 pucks per siude in the rear as bumpstops
Spider trax Wheel spacers

The spacers widen your wheel base by 2.5 inches.


Most likely will be pulling a nut in the front sometime soon if it doesn't settle more. Not sure yet. Everyone's setlles differently so, I would plan on four. you can always take them out and it is super easy.

I am running 265/70 16.

Post up some pics with your new tires. Any issues with the spacers and that size of tire ? I will be doing the same lift next month and want to run the 265/75 mt's on the stock rims. Already got the pinch weld taken care of just hope I don't need to trim anything else.

So what did you do, drop off your driveshaft and have them replace the cvs on both ends with U-joints? And, how much did it cost? Thanks!

Can't speak for Trobow, but they only did one end on ThunderbirdJunkie's driveshaft (the rear joint) saying they've never needed to replace a front joint on a KJ front driveshaft.

Humm, maybe i should consider this for my bad front DS, gotta find a place like it in Cleveland.
If you don't mind sharing, how much did it run you?

~$200

Pictures are of the after portion of the lift....

Be careful about going 265/75.....from what I hear....bad news and loss of power

What bad news???? I've been running 265/75R16 on my stock wheels and 31x10.5x15 on my off road wheels. Haven't had any bad news with either in the 50+ K miles that they've been on.

Trobow, that looks really cool.. Also making me thinking of getting shims and rear isos for another inch more..

You know what people who have already lifted want.. More lift;)

Problem I had with 4 clevis was I tore a couple of CV boots. Now with only 2 Clevis...I still sit high but no more torn boots.

I have had the worst luck recently. My A/C condensor went out....so no A/C and the old womans Stratus needs springs and struts.
