Suspension/Wheels
Jan 3,2008 Finalized a deal with Cadaver for his unused OME lift
for the front: OME 886 springs & N140S shocks (Heavy because I plan on adding bumper, winch, etc.)
895 springs & OME N141 shocks (Medium because even with a rear bumper and a bigger spare, I won't need more)
(install vid to follow, if I can cowboy up enough to attempt it myself)
I can't afford new tires and wheels right now. So I'm worried about putting the lift on until I get some. Oh well I guess I won't be getting off-road too much in the snow we've got. So maybe I've got time to get some cash together for some new kicks.
I can't exactly figure out why, but I'm really liking the teflon mojave rims. (american racing?) I'm not trying to black out my rig or anything, I just think they look B****in'. My wife likes chrome (her parents own Ogden Chrome plating) I guess if I use my allowance to pay for them, she can pipe down.
Tire size/brand I am still researching. All these numbers are just starting to make sense in my head. I don't have another car, so this is my daily driver. The new tires should have an excellent on-road rating (for an off-road tire). I don't do much sand if any. It will probably be mud and rocks, and lots of snow.
I will do the body chop if I have to, and I'm pretty sure the mudflaps will have to come off with bigger tires, we'll see how big I go and all that.
