    I am quite pleased with the 35s!! Even with tock 4.10 gears I have plenty of power on the road (except for 5th gear) and is very useable on the trail. I'm hoping to regear to 4.30s and get my duel cases installed before spring :gun6: I got the pinch welds clearanced pretty good, but I'm going...

    Chuckles' 98 Manual SR5 4Runner

    On both of mine, I have OME struts, 881 springs (2.5" lift stock weight), and 1/4" top plate spacers to counteract the sag from the bumper/winch and give me a little more down travel. Not super ideal with the spacer because my UBJ is the droop limiting factor. Rear are OME 891 (3" lift +150...
