Running 35-inch tires was a goal for this rig a long time ago! Doron Strassman's diff-drop design made this possible. We could re-tweak the T-bars for added front lift and without compromising CV-angles. Doing this then allowed for more lift in the rear. In the rear I added two OME 10mm Trip Packs for 20mm (about an inch) added lift, or 3-inches from stock. In the front, we gained another 0.75 inch totalling 2.75-inches above stock. More lift on the front is not possible unless you compromise safety by further reducing down-travel. Road tests revealed 2 rubbing issues. Rear, in the well during extreme flex. To fix this we added 2x2x5" cut steel and lowered the bump stops. In the front at full turn the inside of the tire rubs the upper control arm. The fix here was really simple. Re-adjust the turn-stops to increase the turning radius. So little adjustment was required you can't tell the redius was even increased. An off-road test was then conducted and the ride/performance was improved in every way. This added lift and tire size allowed the 100 to crawl over obstacles with greater ease than ever before. http://shottscruisers.smugmug.com/Vehicle-Specs-and/2001-UZJ100/Upsize-to-315x75-16-Tires/DSC00050-Medium/45560761_SF5zf-Ti.jpg http://shottscruisers.smugmug.com/gallery/984600_zxBZM/ 2006-10-24T07:53:33Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
