I would never tow 5k with my manual..yikes! I think you are looking for something like some OME springs. They provide minimal lift (1.75" I believe), but there will be very, very little sag with the medium coils in the back. It's about $240 shipped for the set of 4 springs, which is a VERY good deal.

On another note, my fuel light always works, then again, it's an R50.

Go ahead and get yourself a facebook.

Aluminum isn't as strong as steel.

They will, fit, but there will be rubbing. If I were you, I would go with the 32's and a 3.75-4" backspace rim.

I'm happy to see someone that actually did some research before going out and buying a tank. That looks like its well on its way to becoming a very impressive tank. Remember to buy your LR from a reliable source (not ebay) and if you go with the clown route, they only need about 3 gallons of fish, and flourish much better in pairs and trios.

Nice pathy...welcome!

Welcome to NPORA!

You'll definitely gain some confidence after looking through these forums. There is some great info here!

Good pick with the R50

Well now that's a nice pathy.

If you could have a one-on-one session from anyone in time on a subject, who would it be and why? I'm torn between marketing with Steve Jobs and drumming with Mike Portnoy.

I'm not really sure what you're pointing at, but here, use my picture: The plastic piece you are missing is called the fender trim. It's actually pretty expensive from the dealer. I ended up doing without one of my bumper sliders and it's just fine.

Thanks for that info. It looks almost as if the spring could compress and rub the tire, but I guess not.

Take a pic!

At least they would make good mirrors for the gf.

Ebay or JY is cheapest

It looks like you have it pretty well under control. Are you doing the lift yourself or are you having a shop do it?

I stuck 31's on mine with the stock SE rims. The clearance between the the tire and the spring makes me a little nervous (about 2"), but I will be lifting it soon.

Go with rockauto, they are great.

I walk to work but my pathy is my grocery getter.

I actually took the runners off the roof and ran the wires under that.

Yep, although they are a good deal longer than the stockies, they are short enough to fit in the same place.

As far as driving offroad goes, it's all preferance. I happen to like my manual with a thumb throttle, however others prefer the ease of an auto.
