Stock suspension was shot so I went with a budget lift. Bilstein 5100's and OME 885/895. BFG KO2 285/70R17 on 17x9.

Love the look of those TRD wheels!

Curious minds want to know: what exactly did you have to chop chop?

Body mount chop (alot)
Aftermarket front and rear bumpers.
SPC upper arms to allow wheel positioning
Extended wheelers bump stops
Extended rear axle back via adjustable links
Removed alot of fender liner

I will get some pics

I’m going with the same set up, how much trimming can I expect

New MK6's with -12 offset, should I keep the spidertrax on or get rid of them?
(pictures shown with spidertrax)
I'm kind of digging the stance with the wheels poked out a bit.

since they have -12 I would lose the spidertrax

Agreed

New wheels and tires. 265/70 wilds

you should def get rid of the spydertrax and let me buy them off you

Bilstein 5100’s with the front set at 0. Front has Toytec Eibach springs with 1/2” aluminum spacer on driver side and 1/4” passenger. Rear Bilstein 5100’s with Toytec super flex.

I’d bought an OME .40” spacer for the rear too (couldn’t find 1/4”) but seemed too thick so I chose not to put it in. Not sure if it will matter with only adjusting for driver side lean on the front and not the rear? At some point I may sand down the spacer to 1/4” and throw it in the rear if possible.

Level 8 gunmetal grey wheels, 0 offset (thank you to Drift Monkey for the suggestion, I like them) with TRD center caps. I gained close to 1.75” negative offset with the new wheels if my math is correct, either way they definitely protrude more. Falken Wildpeak 275/70/17. Pushed the fender liners forward on the front and removed the front mud flaps to stop tire rubbing.

I actually didn't trim too much. I trimmed the front bumper about 1.5 inches shorter and then used a heat gun to push the fender liner in a little on both sides. I actually trimmed the fender liner on the driver's side a bit because of the different shape- I couldn't heat gun the liner that well. I haven't done the body mount chop yet but I'm thinking that I'll need to do it soon. I still rub slightly when I'm reversing down an angled driveway, but I still need to do some figuring out on that.
