Made a day run to Bend yesterday to pickup some new shoes for Xaria. Found a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW set of 33" Super Swampers for 5 bills...
So, got them mounted today at Nissan and she steers and rides much nicer. Now we need to get some stick time to check out the new goodies, and hopefully get some pictures to share.

The shakedown stick time was successful, just a few minor adjustments to be made...

FWIW, I really liked the two sets of TSL radials the I ran on the Screaming Toylet. They worked very well when sipped. You're welcome to barrow my groving knife to sip them.

So, I took David K's advice and visited PAW and picked up 2 sets of WJ donuts, and put the other squishy (softride) springs back in. Seems to sit level. Haven't road tested yet,
Also ran out out to Connell and picked up a front driveshaft off a 95, a brake booster and her 3rd eye, installed the booster (old one had fluid in it, so I may need to look at the MC too we'll see).
I have a new OEM temp switch sensor, driveshaft, 3rd eye, and a set of speaker yet to replace, then I'll run it and see if I have to replace the sway bar...

If you have decent shocks, just run the rear swaybar. If you have GREAT shocks, don't run one at all.

I upgraded to essentially 12"ers, as far as the swaybar goes it'll depend on the ride. I 86'd the rear because it had the a$$end too bound up with little to no flex. I pulled the front believing the quick disco links were too long (with the stiffer springs bu I now believe the contact being made was the Trackbar bolt (must be grade 8 cuz, the axle truss took the beating, not the bolt...
So if during my test run it rolls too much the bar goes back in, although I might need to modify it (shorten 1/2 inch), but I'll test the flex beforehand. THe limiting factor now for reach is the short LCAs... Somewhere down the line they'll grow.
