crawlerdan · « **Reply #158 on:** May 09, 2009, 09:25:13 PM »

well frame height sits at 25 inches even with 37s

it is a full 4.5 inches lower then the 87

i lifted teh rear about 2.5 inches, and the front about 4.

i like how it sits right now

I considered doing the same thing, but opted to convert to leaves instead. Have you had a chance to cycle the suspension yet? Love to see pics. Nice work. ( If it works really well I am not going to be stoked I dropped 700 bones)

it works awesome, drives down the road nicely, very predictable, and flexes well. it is no super long travel set up, but if i had to guess its giving up about 14 inches of usable wheel travel with the bumpstops and straps on it. a far cry from the 30 something the last runner had, but definately nice, and different then what im used to having. all in all, after a few minor adjustaments it will be perfect and we enjoy it so far more then the last one, on the road that is, off road i dont think its in the same catagory, but that was the intent. but with lockers and big tires and gears, it will do anything i need it to

Looking good Dan!

Those 37's look like they be tight on the rear while stuffing it. We need closer pics.

You the man Dan, after Marlin of course!

Junior looks like his dad.

well, as the suspension cycles it moves away from the front of the wheel well, rather quickly actually, no rubbies yet

but 46&2 was right, the front tires where all over the bumper, i shortened it by 4 inches
