hardwaretoad Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 If all you want is an inch in the back, why don't you just go with a spacer on the top of the coil to effectively push the rear down? Seems easier than trial & fit on JGC coils to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I believe he was implying that you just rig something up. 88 has some hard, reinforced rubber mats in there (probably helps isolate also). Fab skills help here, but 1" should not be difficult to do... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 You know those construction cone type deals that are just tall orange plastic tubes sticking out of a rubber mat base? Try and find an old rubber base for one of those, that's usually 1" thick stuff. Then use a coffee can to outline a circle, cut it out carefully with a utility knife, and go from there. The spacer should go on top if you're just using one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 88 is also enforcing the thing called "American Ingenuity." Basically, come up with something that works, is acceptable, then run with it. This, of course, is why we love this guy. A true Junkyard Warrior, a master of the dark and dirty arts.

jj big shoe Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 You know those construction cone type deals that are just tall orange plastic tubes sticking out of a rubber mat base? Try and find an old rubber base for one of those, that's usually 1" thick stuff. Some of those rings are just sidewalls from old tires. Maybe you could find a take-off at a local garage (although the thought of you scurrying across a busy highway at midnight to swipe a traffic cone is pretty funny).

wheelmanLS1 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hmmm... not a bad idea. (scurrying across the interstate I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshea Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 ok dont get mad at me if this is a repeated question but im still a little confused with the t-bars concept. im getting 31*10.50 and it might rub a little so uping the t-bars will stop that right? does the t-bars up the front and the back? sorry im a new driver and pathy owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flnl Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Probably it is rubbing because the torsion bar is sagged, so if you crank it up or reindex the rubing will stop. But it will only raise the front end. To raise the rear end you'll have to add a poliurethane block or change the stock coils. The front end of mym Pathy was a little bit down, I just crank it up to get 1"1/2 and now it is almost back to original height. The tires are Goodyear Wrangler AT 255/75R15, diameter 763mm (30"). No rubbing. I don't think it would rub if I had Wrangler 31" instead, they are just 777mm (30"1/2 truly). As I'm planning to change to a nominal 31" which is truly about 800mm (31"1/2), I'll be reindexing the torsion bars this week and see what happens... The tires will be delivered in 3 or 4 weeks and are mudder ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnnate Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 THat is so darn funny!! That's what I did for my rear lift exept I used an old tire that was put out in front of my neighbors house. I bought a Daystar 2" spacer and it didn't work then it just hit me about the tire in the front yard! A razor blade and a little time and you can get the exact lift you want. Mine's about 2" in the rear and 1.75" in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 Pathy Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 -bounce- Alright Fellow Pathy's, I got my 3" CALMINI Lift on and just had it aligned. Looking sweet! I think once I get my Stroker motor done, then a 3" body-lift with 33-35" tires will come into play. That will be awhile though. I'll try to get some pic's with-in the next few days for everyone to see. Hope you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
