I will be dropping to 37's soon, which should put me at ~25" to the frame (once spring mods are complete), possibly a little lower.  For what I wheel I'm happy with the ride height.

Looking forward to see how you drop yours.

Thanks for the comments guys..good motivation :greengrin:.

Sucks being so far away from the rig and wanting to get some work done.

PSC 3rz kit installed.  Drove it for a bit w/ 40's on it and am very happy...turns effortlessly stopped at idle.

FJ80 front, 4.5" back spacing, 37x13.5 toyos on 17x8.  Not the best pic, but shows how much the front sticks out.

Looks good. I am putting together my front end now but the rear axle 62" wms is not to bad

I've seen your build, you do some nice work :cool:.  I wish I could get this thing that low!

Glad your steering is holding up well.  Are your studs staying tight?

Thanks man!  My studs came loose once this summer, but nothing broke.  i need to clean up the threads and put some lock tite on them, im sure that would help alot.  What gear ratio are you running in the diffs?

5.29's...pretty much perfect now that I'm on 37's.  Plan is to go to 38.5 maddogs when these wear out.

Thanks a lot for the comments guys, wouldn't have been possible without a ton of ideas taken from here :smokin:.

Finishing up the PSC 2.7 kit, should have pics in a couple weeks when I get back from a business trip.

He tried to. But he didnt get to far due to some sort of T-case problem.
