Looks very good, much better than the before shot. Though I have to say it looks a little flat in the rear for my tastes, I like a bit more height back there compared to the front, a little rake.

yes i plan on 3" lift in the rear. I cant wait!

Looks sweet!!!!!

question, did you cut down the front bump stops and crank up the t-bars all the way up front???

and do the 31's rub much, I'm planning on going with 30's next time i get tires, but may consider 31's (I'll need 4.56's for sure If i do that ) if they fit without too much rub

oh and a final note, get some longer rear shackles for that thing, Indy 4x has good ones for about $50 (of course you can may your own, or get the cheapys from AutoZone)

Nope I dident cut the bump stops. It rides real tight though. the 31" tires will work on a stock hight truck with some major mods to the front fenders. I have got the 3" lift and the torsion bars cranked and I still have troubble turning. today I plan on getting out there and cutting a little off the front just behind the tires. That should do it, exept when my front end starts flexing. I did not know Indy 4x had some shackles... does he make them in batches or somthing. or does he just have an extra set just laying around? I know I know I really need to lift the rear now. . and as far as buying a set of shackles from autozone... I dont think they even know what they are. where I live autozone is the WORST place to go. They got like high school girls working there and they dont even know what a spark plug is... dumb fuck!ng blonds!!! .I go to schucks, Its kinds like the bar on cheers... everybody knows my name!!! And they are always glad I came!!! no really they know by heart what i am working on so they never have to ask, and they are really into me getting my truck going. And rezkid, do you own a 4x4? I thought you had a street luv.?.

If you want to drop some extra money on the project but get a nicer ride you could put some lift springs in it. http://www.darlington-offroad.com has a set for Isuzu Troopers that should fit. (Dunno for sure, have not tried) You take out the fat overload spring and put these in its place. It is good for 1.5-2 inches on a Troop, should do a bit more than that for a LUV with its light tail end.

Here is a link to the item:
http://www.darlington-offroad.com/item. ... RID=317508

Cost is $170

Or yeah I forgot you could go the Trooper spring route, thanks for bring that up 800 I totally forgot about that,

80Luv4x4, yeah I have a 4x4, 1980 Scarlet Red Mikado, factory buckets, factory a/c, 3" body lift, 1 1/2" suspension lift in the front, and riding on 215x75r15 BFG AT's

here's a pic before the SL



sorry i don't have more, need to take the camera out and snap a couple

Oh yeah it see's dirt on a semi regular basis, mostly trails around here, and then slickrock exploring when I'm at home, no dents (yet ) but it's got a few scratches here and there. Thanks, I like it too
