Donahoe Lift - front vs. rear

scollins · 11-16-2006, 07:27 PM

I have pretty much decided that I'm gonna go with a DR lift for the front and rear, but something has me a little worried. I will probably include the UCA's when I get the lift done. Now, here is my worry...I know the front lift is adjustable up to 3" (or 3.5"), but the rear is only 2". This concerns me because I would like the FJ to sit a little "nose down". Maybe not quite as much as it does stock, but just a tad nose down would be great. I am planning on installing an Expedition One front bumper that will add some weight to bring the front down, but I'm not sure how far it'll pull the front down.
What do you guys think? Will I be able to get the nose down look I'm looking for and still have a decent amount of lift? Any input would be great. Any way to get a little more lift out of the rear?

Thanks,
Shannon

When you install the front bumper that should give you the look you're looking for.

when they say 3" lift, it means 3" in the front and then it leavels out in the rear which is about 2.25". from here you can go backwards. leave the back at what would be leavel (if the front was 3") and adjust the DR coilovers down about 1/8"-1/4" and that should give you the look you want.

can you take a measurement from the ground to the top of the wheel well for me? I want to go with the donahoe's in the rear but I don't wanna lose any heigth that I already have with OME
