More pics of different angles on the way,Brett682 how do u get your pic to come up with your user name1

Google and download "Irfanview" photo editing software. Go to your pics, right click on the one you want to use as your avatar and choose "Open With Irfanview". Select IMAGE in menu bar when you have Irfanview pic open the select RESIZE and 1/2 size it to get it to the smallest size (KB's) this website will allow to upload, then save it as "avatar". Then go to the user cp tab on this site, edit options tab, at the bottom and upload your avatar from where ever you saved your resized picture at (pref MyPics?). Easier than it sounds. Just play with it for a minute and you'll get.

AWESOME pics by the way. Keep them coming. BAD ASS FORD! Im not big on FORD but I definitely wouldn't turn my nose up at that one. Well, maybe I would, but only cause I'd be lookin' up to it!!!

Thanks Brett682 4Runner is my daily driver,after i saw the pics of yours i knew i had to a similar set up.The ford is truely a beast only has 80k miles,it will run off and leave my t4r red light to red light and top end,and gets about the same Gas mileage b/c its a diesel,would not have a gas motor in a ford 1 Ton.

I had to trim quite a bit to get those big ass tires on but nothing you would notice unless you were looking for it. I had to trim MORE when I put the wheel spacers on surprisingly. Had to trim the actual fenders. Wasnt too happy about that but still not a big deal cause you wouldnt notice. Loved the look with the spacers but had slight vibration so look them off after a week. If I crank it all the way I get major rubbing on that UAC ball and arm you're talking about. Just have to be a little more aware when you're driving around with aftermarket stuff on your car. No big. I love it. No regrets and wouldnt change a thing...

Got any pics of your ride posted?!?!

SO I have spidertrax coming....does everyone get vibrations when they install spidertrax????

No, they (spidertrax) are hub centric so you shouldnt have any issues. Be sure to torque precisly in the star pattern, more info on my site. The op's prolly werent spidertrax and they are the only ones that are hub centric. More expensive but well worth it.

Thats a slight exageration. Its def stiffer now though. Which I like. Had to much bounce in the back before. I like to feel the road when I drive anyway. So its all good. Wouldnt change a thing...

Does the 3/2 cause any accelerated wear on any parts of the truck?

Yes, mainly the CV due to the new angle. Furthermore, I think compressing springs to be "shorter" than they were designed to will just put stress to components that weren't designed to take it. IMO get coilovers/OME and do it right.

Would Spider Trax also cause a similar wear issue?

Id figure I would post a pic of my 4Runner in this thread instead of starting a new one.

I have had the cornfed lift on for over a year now. I had the Spider Trax spacers on stock rims with 285s. I just installed the ProComp wheels and love them!

 

[Conspearasea]

Kruton,

Can you tell me the specs on your wheels.....offset, backspace etc. Do you have any pics of how the stance is now compared to the wheel well?

I'm trying to get my tires to widen up and want to avoid buying spidertrax, just to eventually get new wheels anyway like I want. Your rig is really close to what I'm going for and I don't want to spend unnecessary money getting things that will be changed out anyways.

 

[kruton]

The wheels are 17X8 4.5 BS and are lug centric. The wheels line up with the fender flares nicely. Just about like they did eith the spider trax spacers. I almost went with the 17X9s but decided on the 17X8s. Ill take some pics of the stance sunday and post them.

This looks so dope. I finally got my front struts out to do mine but cannot figure out what the configuration of the spacer is supposed to look like in there... any pics of that?
