When it comes to something like wheel spacers cheaper is not better. If they go bad you could find yourself in a bad spot. Just my .02

If they are factory wheels you will hit the upper control arms. If they are aftermarket wheels it would depend on the backspacing. If you have factory wheels and spacers you will be good with minor plastic trimming.

Check to see if they are warped. Mine was an I didn't catch it. Had to do the damn thing over. Had to machine it down to fix it cause their warranty doesn't cover warping. And now it's leaking again.

I had 18x9s with just the Daystar kit. Like said above backspacing and rim size are very important.

Yeah I have a whole 6 mile round trip commute to work.

Yes it was all the way through. It will be back. I would say the only true way is to replace the tailgate. That is just a little to much for me right now. I am thinking about taking the interior trim off and using some Por-15 in there to slow it down.

I had to do something with the rust popping up on the tailgate but was not ready to replace it all together yet. So I came up with this temporary fix. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/107878570@N03/14542697748" title="Untitled by travis large, on Flickr"><img...

I have a daystar 2.5/1.5 kit that came off my 2003 4runner 4wd that a co worker would like to install on his 2007 fj. Daystar list 2 different part numbers, one for the 4runner and one for the fj. Does anyone know if this will work? From what I have read these vehicles have the same suspension...

You will be good without the spacers.

I did not do a before and after of the alignment with the arms so I am not sure of exact numbers for you. I used the light racing arms and set the ball joints to add 2 degrees positive caster and wound up right at 3.2 degrees total caster and .02 positive camber which according to the hunter...

I just installed the bilstein toytec 3" kit in mine last week. I used the super flex rear hd springs and I lean 1/2" down on the driver side rear. The front is level. It was the same with the Daystar spacer and from the factory. As far as the tires go I am running 285/65r18 trail grapplers on...
