    :laugh: Gonna try not to take much if any out of the fenders this go around.... A lift is in the works. :D Trying to rig a sort of body lift and either bastardized struts or homemade coil overs for the front, and just some coils off a jeep or pathfinder for the rear...

    I won't make it too ghetto. I promise. :D
    It'll have great travel in the rear, and the front travel will be extended for sure.... but it'll be the same width and basic geometry up front. kinda difficult to make it a real LT with out a completely new front suspension. haha :eek: I did consider going fully custom with it, but I don't think it's right for this build right now.

    A turbo/Volvo buddy of mine hooked me up with some sweet, home-made, adjustable coil-overs. :) Made from old Tercel strut bodies, 300 lb coils, and billet 6061 anodized aircraft aluminum sleeves.

    They ride so well! Right now, they're only slightly pre-loaded, about an inch from the bottom of the threaded sleeve, and gave the dirty terc about an inch of lift to level her out, nicely. :D
