THAT should have been the true "Off-Road" tires option. Maybe with 18's as well.

@sarek - looks great! you said there are different heights available. what would you recommend for an even lift front and rear (standard load). is there an additional cost for that?

Have you tested any wheel tire sizes on the vehicle, also?
It would be incredible to have a selection of the 18" and 20" wheel/tire sizes to check for fitment.

I know this isn't the place but @sarek your shop seems to have a great reputation. Have you ever done or would you consider doing an electric conversion on a Series?

I have first refusal on a really pretty IIA at a good price. Would use it at a beach condo for local roads and beach driving so I don't want exhaust, leaks, or double clutching.

We have been toying with Series 88 electric build. We have not done one yet, but actively want and plan to. We can build something really cool for you for sure!

Do you have any plans to offer an even lift front and rear? A 1.5 inch rear lift to go with the front?

These do look great, and are something I have been thinking of as a future project for my 110 on coils that I've had for a month. I'm also interested in the rock rails you're working on (I saw your post on FB).

Of course, this morning was my first trip to the airport since taking delivery. As I entered the parking garage, the large hanging horizontal PVC pipe bounced off of the fin antenna, warning me that I was already (stock) too high. I crept up the spiral ramp and parked on the open roof, avoiding the enclosed levels. Not sure what I'll do when the roof is full when I take future trips. So... maybe I need to hold off on that lift.

But I'm still interested. My question - other than replacing the springs, what else do you have to change? Do you need longer brake lines, different steering wheel geometry, etc.? Or is there enough play in the stock configuration that it all just works?

Thanks,
Mike

No other components required. Will need headlight aim and 4 wheel alignment after installation.
