name the FJ poll

The lift will be All Pro Off Road's 3.5" w/Walker Evans coilovers and matching rear shocks with the 2" coils. It also comes with new control arms. Here's the details: http://www.allprooffroad.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=131
As far as tires go, I could go with a 35" but would have to limit my travel with extended bumpstops. It would have been really sweet looking but after much consideration (since it will be our DD), I'll be going with the Swamper Trxus, 33x12.50 on my factory wheels. Otherwise, I would need to order some cheesy looking steelies or have them made with custom backspacing at more than I want to pay.
In the end it will be just like this photo (as far as lift and tire size goes). I'll think about building my own bumpers later on...
Here's what 35's look like with the same lift. As you can see, the front is rubbing and he's not flexing it too much...
As far as the sliders go, I'm going to be building them myself too.

that stock camaro would probably have more flex.

sorry, you know, this is probably getting out of hand... :'(

Yeah - only cause all of your ball busting is fucking up my finances LOL ;) :-* He's bound and determined now, which is probably what all of the mind fuck was about in the first place! ;D

Not from me, I just like busting people who pretend to wheel, but don't. :)
This is my complaint about the FJ, and even your TJ. No matter what you do to it, you're still going to have the fact that it's expensive, its your daily driver, and you're still paying for it weighing you down, and pulling you back on the trail.
For little more than what that lift kit costs, you could buy a trail ready yj or xj, or a toyota pickup, or an older fj as a project, and end up with something that you're not afraid to wheel the way it should be. That fact alone will make it WAY more capable on the trail than anything you can do to a rig that you're still going to be concerned about the paint job or weather or not it makes it home on its own power.
:)
There is no way I would dump that much money into modifications of a vehicle that was still under warranty or still financed.
