To me, the 33s on his truck don't look to small and he has a 4" suspension lift. Mikronized, do you have any body lift, can't tell from your too lazy to include every mod you ever made sig (just kidding)?

Photo from awhile ago... no sliders in that photo.
All I have is a 4" suspension lift, no body.
I really was too lazy to list everything.. Lengthed CV driveshaft, Allpro rear uppers.... blah blah blah.... the list goes on and on... and then my wallet gets lighter and lighter.

Oh well, I think with a pair of sliders to hide the frame, the b.l. should look fine. More mods to fully utilize the 35s doesn't help feed the family at this point in my life

Problem With 35's (IMO)
35's may fit but they won’t stuff into the wheel well so you will be giving up articulation unless you do some major trimming (on a 2’nd gen). As it is my 33’s rub on the factory rear bumper/mud flap with stock FJ80 Coils.
Micronized, do you have any problems with the front rubbing ? I have a 4” superlift kit on the front and get rubbing at the rear of the front wheel well off road on occasion.

Cheese's rig looked pretty level to me with only the 1.5" BJ Spacers up front and the cruiser coils out back.

I hear 2 short sides get 2" I think tall is like 3.5"... not sure though..
I know the OME860 coils he's using give ~5.5"

Is there a pic out there anywhere of Cheeses rig from the side, like the 2 pics above? I've seen all the flex pics and his profile and everything, just wanted a side shot.

I was trying to find out the valving on the Rancho's mentioned here. This is the response from Rancho:

I didn't know Cheese is Flygtenstein. Adrian is my idol!!! (er, well I mean his truck is anyway, never met him personally). I have studied his truck throughly. If he can wheel that thing like he does with the IFS and 33s, I'm sticking with my current plans for a similar setup.
Oh yea, Cheese only has a 1" body lift maybe I should stick with that instead of the 1.5".
