Finally got my baby off road worthy! I have a 3.5" Fabtech spindle lift up front and I replaced the rear 2WD airbags for 4WD Strutmasters coil springs, then I threw on a set of LT265/75 R16 BF Goodrich All Terrain KO's. She drives great!

they really dont need anything huge out here. most offroading, at least in southern CA, is trails and desert. only one place for mud that i know of. def need more lift before i return back to the midwest. need to make room for deep mud!

Thank you for the compliments. I don't do anything too crazy, I just run local trails and pull my buddies out when they try stupid things, occasionally I crawl around in rock piles. I wish I had a little more clearance and 4WD, but I drive in the city a lot too, so that would rape my mileage. Besides, I get to be more technical when I only have power to the rear; and as of yet, I have yet to get stuck (knock on wood). And I realize in the picture that it doesn't look like I have much ground clearance, but I've got over a foot to the frame rails. I'll probably take the running boards off soon and just keep a stool for short people to use. That way I can get more mud on the windows. Haha. Also, when I say "off road worthy" I'm talking over stock. I used to run trail at stock 2WD ride height with street tires (did a number on my running boards, two push bars and blew out a few tires). Btw, in the picture of the passenger side you can see where one of the tires threw a tread on the freeway and "customized" my rear quarter panel. Never again will I run Falken tires.
