Three inches on top of the stock SR lift? So you are running four inches compared to a stock genII from say 1993?

I hope everything works out for ya. Thats def pushing the SR to the limits. What about any testing. Flex it to the limit, does it rub? Honestly, I think 35's are the biggest i'll be going. It might be able to handle it, but you'll be replacing steering parts sooner than normal.. I would go for a SAS, any future plans for that? Or should I say, how soon before a SAS? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Keep up the good work. You've always been the first to do alot of things on Monteros, good luck

Awesome. Yeah, I have a SAS backup plan already <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> but honestly I would like to keep it MITSU as much as possible. Nothing wrong with other brands but it's just cool to have such a beast with only Mitsu parts and a few mods. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I am planing on hitting the trails the following weekend to stretch the suspension and see how well it holds up! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Damn,
Now between you and Scottie you are making me want to do this with my SR.
Mine is intended for towing a trailer with casual trail use.
Maybe I will do another Gen 1 SWB with 35s.
I will be making a torque arm setup for the coil spring rear to eliminate binding back there. This is a few months away but I think it will be a good thing.
Cheers, Charlie

yeah, except I don't think I will ever go bigger than the 35's I have now, but of course, I said that when I had 32's on my LS. One more thing to think about, once I start using my arb in the front axle, I will have to use caution b/c with 35's and a front locker, you could really snap those CV's in the front. carlos, are you running a front locker with those 37's, or would that be the SAS plan you have?

Looks good. I am curious to see how well it holds up to wheeling when you run it. I am sure it will take a smarter approach to certain parts on the trail but thats fine as long as the right person is behind the wheel. I like the idea of keeping everything as Mitsu as possible.....makes it more "authentic".....Keep us posted on how it holds up...and kudos for being the first pioneer to try it.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
