Well yall since i finuly got my cruiser last monday, I decided to start thinkin on a lift. I have already decided on the 4 inch (or SOA if i can talk my dad into it :rolleyes: ). I have herd 35's work with a 4 inch lift but i want flex room as well. I thought about 33's but would they look TOO small??? Thanks for all the help guys and hopefully me and my brother (mountaineermac) can have the cruiser runnin by tommaro!! :) ;)

35-36" Swampers work with a 4" sua. Get the sawzall out on the rear fenders and have at it.

I recommend learning to wheel the Cruiser in SUA form and then spring it over later.

The back fenders have already ben cut somewhat. He has cut out flares on there now. How much flex room should i have with 35's?

If you stick with 35 x 12.50's you will have all the flex room the SUA springs will give you.

Does anybody have any pics 4 inches and 35's? My dad wants to see what it looks like.

Here is an old pic of mine with ~4" of lift total and 285/75/R16, which are about 33" tall. If you have flexy springs AT ALL, the 35s will rub.

Mine with 35 x 12.50's

I have about 5.5" spring under (2.5" springs w/ shackle rev. and long shackles front, 4" rear springs w/ long shackle rear) my 35 x 12.50s just barely hit, but it flexes pretty nice. also, i live in charlotte, lets wheel! kyle11078@aol.com, e-mail me. if you want, you can see pics of my rig on www.core4x4club.com under the members section. (the site goes down alot, so keep trying!)

A good deal right now, I think, are the 4" Big Dick Suspension. Comes with shocks, all mounting hardware, and everything for somewhere around $500. The best deal I saw was at Cool Cruisers of Texas (http://www.coolcruisers.com), $429 I believe for the kit, but I'm not sure if they are still selling it. Try bds-suspension.com (http://www.bds-suspension.com/) to find another retailer maybe someone near you.

Here is a direct link to the CCOT page, (http://store.yahoo.com/coolfj40/liftkitfj40.html) looks like it's a "call or email for price" deal and another $125 for shipping so maybe you want to check locally. I know of a lot of 40s with 4" springs and 35s, I used to rub under extreme articulation with 34" Swampers on my 40 and never did any damage. With a mild to medium tire and 4" springs you should be fine with 35s.

Thanks guys! i realy hope i can get 35's!! I am kinda leaneing toward the Penicle Enginearing suspension lift from JT outfiters. If anyone has anymore pics i would love to see them!! To bad i cant get the cruiser running tonight because my parts didnt come :(

Goose has about a 4" lift, STOCK body, and 33 x 12.5" tires.

Since your rear fenders are already cut, I would go with the 35" tires.
