[QUOTE=X5nHI;986370]FMU just replied to my inquiry, "We estimate the cost to be somewhere around the $500 + shipping mark." No notes on what may be included in the kit but encouraging so far.

Barring any lift or clearancing a 70 series tire might be too tall? GL and please report back if you try

I contacted FMU about the x5 they built. I wanted to buy their lift shims for the springs. I asked if they ever had it off road. They said no. It is just a show piece. Then I inquired about cost and lead time for the mild lift kit. At that time they were about 6 months out. They. Also quoted 500 give or take.
I just had a machine shop make them. Took way less time and cost less. Just my 2 cents..

2 inch lift shims work without the need for any other mods. More than that you need to drop the subframe and extend the steering coupler
