G'day, here is my 05 build up i have just started
2 inch old man emu lift, no body, 34x10.5x16 tsl's on -13 dynamic 16x8's. Rear air locker with front going on soon, tube tray being built and looking for a tube front bar






Here is a pic of the bodymount I trimmed out



How the neg 13 sit with the swampers

nice mate. Hows the front uptravel with the big rubber?

Very nice stance

Doesn't seem to be a problem, im pretty unhappy with the front end in general, in the process of seeIng what my options are regarding changing arms ect or just cutting the front end put completely

The Old Man Emu lift is stiffer than most kits and you'll find that it wont give full bump uptravel so should be fine with the slightly taller rubber. A softer front end would definitely be touching the guard on compression.

Looking forward to following this build.

Looks mean as mate, nice work!

you rekon if you ran a p20 offset u would get away with not trimming the mount. Coz im running p20 with 33x11.5 and the only scrub i have is on the chassis and its primarily due to width.

No dan.....P20 is too narrow an offset.Plus with a larger offset you also benefit from increased stability.
(your rubbing would be non existant with an FJ 16x7.5 +15 wheel fitted...this has been proven in the states - only 5mm difference in offset would alleviate any rubbing you have)

With a 33.6" tyre you will be trimming the mount regardless under full compression.

This tyre is also 10.9" wide - either way, there'll be trimming.

Maxx will running your upper arms change the direction the wheel up travels allowing better clearance? I'm not very familiar with ifs

running our upper arms will allow alot more castor adjustment to be had, which means you'll be able to get more clearance at the rear of the front guards with a proper alignment by someone who knows what they are doin.

our arms also are stronger, the uniball and design of the arm allows more clearance with the coil for more downtravel if your setup allows it and more clearance on the inner side of the tyre if running wider tyres or less offset.

your more than welcome to swing past for a beer and a chat if you want.

For sure, where abouts r u? Also at there any options with the xrox bars as far as the middle hoop leaning towards bonnet not away and can they be ordered for highmounts??
