TNT long arm 5.5 suspension installed finally
Before:
![]() ![]() Still need to do some finishing touches and may need to add spacers up front to level it out. I think the front bumper and winch may be why it is lower in the front. After:

What spring combinations did you use? If the rear has new spring packs, give 'em some time to settle. Looks good. What size tires are you running/planning on running? I'm about to jump to 35's. My 33's just look to small.

The rear springs are RE 3.5 inch lift and I was wondering about them. I hope they settle some, if not I will just go up highre in the front to match. The tires on there now are 267/75/16. They look pretty small. I am planning on running MTR's that are similar in size to a 33/12.50 for a 16 on Rubicon Moab wheels. At this time I dont want to cut the fenders, I guess time will only tell the truth. As for some flex pics here are a few where I parked in my yard for now. Still needs to go to the alignment shop and also need to get shocks for it, just not sure what shocks to run. Ideas?
Nothing to extreme, just feels really wierd without shocks. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

are you running 1.5 shackles and 3.5 springs plus their u bolt eliminatiors out back?
Im really interested in this kit and how it drives. How do you like its onroad handling(after the alignment of coarse) What did you do on the part where they say to massage the pinch seam on the LCA bracket? got any clearance probs with the arms? Thanks man, looks real nice. If you are selling those tires and rims give me a hollar, i like that 31.5 size in metric. |

I am using the 3.5 springs plus the 1.5 shackles in the rear. I have not had the time to install the ubolt eliminators which will give me another 1.5 inches of lift as they require cutting and welding and I cant weld. I hope to get that done soon. I think that I will need to trim some more where the stock LCA brackets were. It looks like you need to trim right up to the pinch seem. The rims and tires are for sale as well as the old RE superflex 3.5 kit along with Rancho 9000 shocks and adjustable trackbar, basically a full 3.5 inch lift kit tried and true. |

if you could send me a pic of where you think the Ca is going to hit it would be greatly appreciated! jxhemm@sbcglobal.net Also, how much for the tires and rims? how many miles on them, condition, ect? Oh yeah, you said you have the 3.5 re kit for sale? Im assuming that u used your rear springs, what did you use up front? So if you used the 3.5 up front you basically have the old LCA and shocks, what kind? Anything else? sry to be a pain.

winks that looks sweet. I am uber happy with my TNT LA's. It does look like you'll need to trim more of the old LCA area. Can you get a better shot of that area for us?
