    Its a TJM. Its an older model no longer imported from Australia. Here is a pic of one on my '98.

    Stuff and things that make it better.
    Yep, it will level out and match the rest of the pack in a day or two.

    Thanks.

    Can't imagine my potential set up (Dakars + AAL) looking good with 31x10.5s on the same wheel.

    Ugh... so hard to decide what suspension to get :eek:

    Yeah, maybe a 32 would be a good compromise :-/

    Maybe a stock height shackle with dakars if you want it more level.

    Edit: I'll break it down better, I have 2" higher in te rear, with stock shackle it woul drop about 1.5". After settling, I'm guessing with stock height shackles it would be about even.

    Ah gotcha.

    Yeah, I'm keeping the stock shackles.

    I was thinking:

    881s, Dakar + D6XL AAL and nitrosports all around.

    I want to keep the stock alloy 15x7s and 31x10.5 all terrains. And do not want much lift. I run a fully lined fiberglass topper 98% of the time. The other 2% of the time I'll have my bed loaded down with camping gear when wheeling.

    Maybe 2-2.25".

    I keep getting varied answers as to how much lift that aforementioned set up with give me.

    Thanks Tom.

    I guess 1/2" smaller radius wouldn't look so bad.
