Hi Troopymad,

What offset are u using with the 35's?
I'm about to order 16x8 with neg 34.
What size rims are u running?

Thank you.

Gav.

PS: that 5 inch lift of yours, is that 2"inch body and 3" suspension.
I've got 1" body and 2.5" suspension. I moved the diff forward 1".
I reckon I'll be able to fit 35's under it but as its my daily I might stick
to 33's

Cheers again.

It runs standard springs that have been reset in the past but they've sagged to what i believe is near stock height (front)

I cut 40mm out of the edge of the guards and cut out the inner guard - replaced it with plastic.

The tyre uses every last bit of flexibility that plastic has

The rear doesn't flex so no clearance issues there...

I think I just jizzed in my pants

Some sick Troopys there fellas, wish I had the coin to do what you blokes have done to mine

thanks dogbreath, thats got my hopes up to be running 37s at a maximum of 2 inch lift, as i dont want any higher, i dont mind having to fab up new inner guards.

keep the pics coming guys, we all need more inspiration

Factor in some diff gears too. I run 4.56 which i find ideal for my use.

I ran 35'' pedes (measure nearly 36'') with virtually no lift, just chopped front guards with the front diff moved forward.

If your car runs a H55F and you dont run the bigger rubber all the time there are other gearing options available, some VERY cheap

84 fj45 2" lift, 35" mudzillers, 60 series rear diff, 5 speed, turbo

would those gear ratios be ok with 33s and 35s, as i have a spare diff at home, and will eventually get it locked, and same with the front, so if those gears work ok with the smaller tyres, i may put them in before i have the tyres, so that its done once not twice.

hulsty, i would also like to be enlightened about the h55f information, and i do run that box

cheers guys
