Maybe consider the 255/85/16? The MTs I am looking at weigh about 10 lbs less than comparable 285s and are a bit taller at 33.2. The biggest negative seems to be the lack of tire options in that size. Rotational weight on the axle is what seems to really kill the power on these rigs. I currently...

The 881/883 seem to give more around 2" maybe 2.5" at the end of the day, without adjusting what notch on the 5100s. If the 890s are new, they will settle a bit over time. I run 881/890 currently and this is my stance with 100-150lbs of gear in my rear storage. OME shocks and 265s. I have...

I had the same issue over the past year and a half. Randomly, I could not get the key to work in the cylinder, leaving me sitting in the car, trying to jiggle the key for a hour to get it started. I used some triflow lube as recommended by numerous online searches and at first it literally made...

This is what I have been using for about a year. Did not want to go the full storage/sleeping platform route so this has worked great. Picked this up from a local guy I was grabbing a set of rims off of. Pretty simple design but works great for me and my needs. I have all my recovery gear...

Check the torque on your LCA cam bolts. I have had a very similar sound coming from my driver side that ended up being a loose cam bolt after alignment when my JBA UCAs were installed. Took a good month or two and numerous trips off road before I heard it.

I have had great luck ordering online from my local dealer and doing in store pickup. I get the online prices that are basically in line with Camelback and typically can pick things up the same day with no shipping cost. I have done this with items from $5 to $500 without an issue.

I have been running a pair of JBAs on my lifted 99 for 3-4 months now and can't say a bad thing about them. Great design, solid build quality and my alignment is spot on. I did have trouble getting much input from the 3rd gen community when I researched them but did find a few groups online with...

Typically the amount of lift will dictate if adjustable upper control arms are needed. In my experience, with around 2" lift I was able to get back into stock alignment specs but once installing my UCA's I noticed a increase in ride quality and stability. LCA's should not be needed unless doing...

I would second checking the LCA bushing. My 99 would tend to pick its own line on roads that were not level or had any type of grooves. Literally would have to fight it to stay straight in many situations. Pretty easy to test with the weight off the arms. I could see a fair bit of play just...

The photo above was running the 881/906 before I put on 265s. This did include one OME trim packer per side. I ran that setup for well over a year and just put on the with the 890s and new wheels/tires the past few months. Photo of the current stance with 881/890s 4" bs steels and 265 Milestar...

I have ran the 881/906 with OME shocks for the past year and a half. It sits with just a bit of rake but I did install 1 trim packer per side. Photo is with 31" tires for reference. The 906s are fairly stiff and did settle a bit for me. They handled additional weight quite well when loaded up...

I picked up some rims from a gentleman near me last week that has his 3rd gen on 37s. Running a fairly standard 3-4" lift. He did have to tub the entire wheel wells with lots of chopping and from what he told me he would never consider doing it again. He said found a great deal on 37s when...

I had a similar situation with my rack when I purchased the vehicle. I noticed a bit of a leak in the boots and assumed I could just replace the boots. 3 months down the line the leak was much worse and after getting into things I noticed quite a bit of play from the actual rack. I am sure I...

I went through this recently and after quite a bit of research, I went with a Toyota rack from the dealer. You typically can order online for pickup locally and get a decent discount. In my case, it cost the same as getting it from Camelback but did not have to deal with shipping. The main...

I have been running a similar setup with OME 881/906 on my 99. I just put on some 890s in the rear and added some 265/75r16 Milestar Patagonia M/T in place of my P rated (265) A/Ts on stock 5 spokes. These are maybe .5" taller and wider than the previous tire so that helps fill the wheel wells...
