AC 2.5" coils Rancho 9000x and airlift rear bags... Fire away w/ your questions!!

BEFORE

AFTER

Looks pretty good...

But is it the angle or do you have some bad negative camber on the passengers side front wheel????

Looks good.

What size tires are those? I have a set of those BFG AT's (33X12.5) on my Bronco and they are awsome, they respond REALLY well to being aired down. The traction at 18psi vs 37psi is an amazing contrast.

If you did a tire size change, did you notice any power loss? I've thought about going +1 on the size, but tow a lot and need all the power I can get.

Have you taken the Pathy off-road much yet? I have been able to resist the temptation to really push mine (I still have the Bronco for that), but have taken it on some light hunting trails and it seems to do pretty well.

Looks great, although I agree the camber does look a bit off. So where did you find the kit? how does it feel at higher speeds and what price do you pay in the twisties? Did you do the install yourself or have it someone do it?

Hey yall,
thanks for the nice words...to answer some questions
~Tires are 265/75/16(32x11.5x16) which is stock for offroad but mine is SE which has the same diff ratio as the offroad...only the XE is a diff ratio...acceleration does not lack
~the kit is for front only at 4x4parts.com
~yes the pics were before the alignment...it was off by 5* GOOD EYE!!
~the coils increase rate rediculously and you actually have better handling all around(alot like my Z...ride harshness and all)but it is to settle in the next 4000 miles...sharp bumps cause the shock to top out b/c of 0 droop. Offroad ride has improved w/ the new shocks and spring combination...the stifness and dampening increase keeps the SUV from bottoming and highspeed desert driving is a joy (even compared to my Tacoma that's semi built)Rock crawling probably sucks b/c now the suspension doesn't want too flex....check out my site for more that I do w/ the patty

The front wheel arch gap almost looks bigger than the rear in that side shot, true? Did you have some cargo in the back? Looks very mean, good stuff!

I don't remember reading anywhere that there were different ratios for the different models. Did I miss that? What are they?

From what I understand it is:

S (and I guess XE in 05) -- 245/75/16 which are about 30.5"
SE and LE -- 265/70/16 which are about 30.6"
and SE OR -- 265/75/16 whire are about 31.6"

Your 265/75/16 should be 31.64" tall and 10.43" wide.

It should work out to
S:
245/75/16
Revs per Mile: 682.8
Actual Speed: 60 mph

SE/LE:
Revs per Mile: 679.7
Speedometer1: 59.7 mph
Speedometer Difference: - Speedometer Difference: 0.456% too slow

SE OR:
Revs per Mile: 657.3
Speedometer1: 57.7 mph
Speedometer Difference: 3.879% too slow



You didn't happen to do a gas mileage comparison before/after the tire size change did you? I would suspect the BFG's have a higher rolling resistance then stock as they are a pretty aggressive/sticky tire. I would also guess that you might be the same or a little better on the highway, with a little loss of mpg around town, but it would be great to have actual numbers.

Very good looking, more information on the lift, any issues surfaced? How is the stance, as stated it looks as if the front may be a little higher, what psi do you have the rear bags at? how much total lift did you get front and rear.

Looks good! Definately more aggressive but not too much. However, I wish I wouldn't have went to your pic site. As a father of two and part of a single income family, your toys make me sick!

Hey Krn any chance you could get a shot of the Path at the same angle as the top pic especially with some light over the top of the tire?
