That would look cool leaving one side dirty but I think the Hawaii Convention would have a cow if I tracked any dirt on their floors - LOL

No, I live in FL. I dealt wiht Graig and his wife and I mostly talked with Stacey and a few others when they would come to the main land for trade shows. They have a factory here in FL, I worked from there, as the Team Mgr for the East coast. I think that was the best job a person could have. Travel, surf, chill etc.. all paid by T&C.

Yep whenever you can get paid for doing something you love to do is always AWESOME!

I had to get spacers because the control arm was so close to my wheel you couldn't even fit your pinky finger between the wheel and the control arm!! It was about 1/16 away from the wheel. This is due to the backspacing of my wheels - should've got less backspacing...

Not only did the wheel spacer help distance the tire from the control arm but it gave my H3 a wider beefier look. Here's the before and after pics:

Before - no lift, 16 x 8 with 35's, tbars cranked like crazy!




After - lift, 17 x 10 with 35's, 1 1/4 spacer:





Had my friend over at Goodyear install my spacers and torque it for me. No more worrying about the COG (Center of Gravity) due to the lift, the wider wheel base hugs the roads now

That was one of the knocks on this lift from early on. So I'll ask again. What is the backspacing on your wheels?

I did find it strange that Rancho recommends 4.5" BS on 16", 17", 18" wheels. 5" BS on 20" & larger wheels. I have 17 x 10 and the 4.5 BS came too close that's why I added the spacers.

Thanks. That's what I figured.

What is your new ground clearance with the lift? The before and after pics don't really show the difference. How did you like your MT/R's while you had them? They sure looked great!
