    Here in India theres an abundance of suzuki samurai aka gypsys and they're long wheel base. So cool looking cars they are.
    They are so suitable with modifications anything just looks good on them.

    I would have to call this the cutest truck they make you could put an old snowmobile engine in one and double the power 😁 but that's what makes them so good - they're small and maneuverable and the short wheelbase keeps you from getting hung up as much, especially if you drop a small lift on it lol it's basically a deluxe street-legal UTV

    Right there at about 215 is pretty much what i did that broke my steering gear box. The red samurai is way lower with tires not sticking out and he appears to have better control of the steering. Mine rips the steering wheel out of my hand. Like i said on my other comment im doing some research on wheel backspacing and stuff

    • @jecustoms52
      @jecustoms52  Před 5 lety +1

      The blue samurai has 33x12.5 tires on a 15x8 with 4.5” backspacing. With this combination there is pretty substantial rubbing even after body clearancing

    • @davidcraft4909
      @davidcraft4909 Před 5 lety +2

      @@jecustoms52 yeah i could imagine, but supposedly you need like 2.5 to 3 inch backspace to get off the springs, but at rhe same time in my opinion the more yor wheels stick out the more trouble you will have steering, especially if you dont have power steering. Either way thanks for replying and I do like your videos keep it up

    how do you find the ride with old man emu springs?

    • @jecustoms52
      @jecustoms52  Před 5 lety +9

      Thank you, the ride is ok. My factory springs were not completely worn out so I guess the change wasn’t quite as dramatic as some people on the forums experience. I still have to remind myself that it is a leaf sprung solid axle vehicle and it will never be a Cadillac.
      Definitely satisfied though for the lift and price.

      Hello, I am considering the possibility of buying the old man emu kit but I have many doubts and here in my country it is quite expensive to make mistakes.
      What opinion do you give me?
      Did you choose normal crossbows or for more weight?
      Is it too hard to suspend or have it become more comfortable or uncomfortable?
      I want to go fast on mountain routes
