Getting the Wildpeaks installed this afternoon!

Here are my first impressions after driving ~100 miles on the new setup below, which was installed yesterday: Front 302 springs 221 struts 5mm spacer Rear 505 springs 705 shocks 10mm spacer A couple of notes - Ended up with about 1-inch of rake front to rear (which I think is perfect!) -...

WTB: Set of 4 wheel spacers

I can't find anyone with anything bad to say! Hence my indecision... Eh. Duratracs in the size listed through Discount Tire are $230/tire. That's a $55 difference. Only reason I'm interested in them is because I can get them for virtually the same price as the Falken's (albeit without any...

Hey y'all! My Dobinson's kit is getting installed today (2" lift front, ~1.5" rear) and so next comes tires. The second set listed below is a brand new, never mounted set of Duratracs I found for $700 on Craigslist. The first set is what I initially had decided on before coming across the...

Now I’m wondering if 255/70R18 might be a look I’d like...? Sigh

Hey everyone, Today I ordered a Dobinson's kit which will get installed on my 2006 Limited V8 4WD later this week. I'm hoping to get a bit of guidance on how several tire sizes I am considering will fit with this lift kit. Here is the setup: Front 302 springs - 2" lift 221 struts 5mm driver's...

Thanks Mike! The order placed this morning for Dan in Minnesota is mine.

Hi Mike! I'm replacing the factory shocks and springs on my 2006 Limited V8 4WD and am hoping to hear your input on what to choose. My goals are to: - improve ride quality - improve performance off-road (mostly minor stuff like backwoods hunting / old logging trails) - improve appearance with...

~$1,800

I am considering that option! I have very few tools so would need to buy pretty much everything one would need. Also just have a lot of other obligations at the moment that make it difficult to set aside a full day (figure I’d need a full day with getting tools and familiarizing myself with...

I hope this kind of post is acceptable here! Are there any Minnesotans here that can recommend a shop to install a lift kit? I've got a 2006 V8 Limited and am looking to install an OME lift, UCA's, and bigger tires. I'm in the southwest corner of the Twin Cities and am trying to find a...

Hi everyone, I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on new suspension and tires for my 2006 Limited V8. I'm hoping to hear your feedback on the setup I've chosen and to get your help on these questions: 1) How likely am I to be out of alignment if I choose not to get new UCA's? 2) Are...

Hi all, I’m having trouble finding an exact answer so am posting here. What’s the biggest tire I can run on 18” Limited wheels with this lift: OME-FJ4R - Old Man Emu Suspension (07-09 FJ & 03-09 4Runner) FWIW, it’s a 2006 V8 Limited and I would pay extra for the front spacer lift if it...

Does that mean you put 5100 Bilstein shocks all around but left the original springs? Is there a guide you used?
