Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

[mizak82]

Swapped out my XREAS with a Taco TRD Off Road set up and FJ rear springs. Also installed a 1/2" Toytec front spacer and 1.5" Daystar rear spacer.

the ass pic is begging for wheel spacers..

Bilstein 5100s and fj coils all around. Ride is excellent as expected thanks to the forum research!
Front at 1.75 and no rear spacers. 265/70/17 nitto terra grappler G2
It sits very level. I was worried it would be nose high but it definitely is not. Couldn't be happier. I have to fit in my old house's garage still so I couldn't go too high, plus I think it looks the right height for the tire size. Big wheel wells are ugly IMO.
Tint is 20 on front then 10 all around back.

Like the rims your running and thinking of buy a set. I wanted to ask you and verify, your not running any wheel spacers correct? Please let me know, i want to pull my spacers off and the trail rims aren't going to give me the same stance as the spacers but thats ok with me. Thanks

Thought I'd add this here. It's that time of the year again and was able to get a break on material costs.

Remember, these kits are made from Alum and UHMW. UHMW will not compress over time like others that will. Lifetime warranty on all kits.

What makes these different than others? Some are making their kits out of rubber, aka (polyurethane), and those kits can compress over time. I just had a guy that had a 2.5" kit from another company made out of rubber/polyurethane, and after 2 years it went from a 2.5" in the front to a 2". It shrunk that much and then he started to rub on his front tires. He called me and I sold him a 3/2 kit and explained how this will never happen with this kit. Also, every kit is made in the USA, custom made to order here on the east coast. Then it's shipped 2 day priority mail for quick delivery. All prices updated as of now and will run this sale as long as I can until tax season ends.

Also, we are now making the driver side rear spacer thicker than passenger side to get rid of the lean. 4th gens LEAN on the driver side more (due to the gas tank and battery being on the driver side). If you notice, the truck has more lean from the factory on the driver side. When you do any of these lifts, that lean will be gone.

Call or text with any questions, and can also do rear spacers in any size.

This looks great! What wheels and tires do you have?

Also curious.

Although I'm having a hell of a time finding a set of these without the stock tires. Everyone wants $800+ with the stock Bridgestones mounted. Not sure how hard it would be to get anything for them if I swapped the tires...

Rides amazing with dual batteries, ARB dual compressor and 1 gallon tank under the hood. Preload set very low. Highly recommend the 700lb springs!

Do the ball joints hit the springs at full droop? Mine hit quite easily when in neutral position and cambered about center. It required rotating to them to the +2* caster position and about 70% outward on the camber to keep it from hitting.

Looks good man! Ordered the same wheels last night with their cyber monday extended deal.

Did you go with chrome lug nuts? I kept debating between chrome and black.

What kind of deal did they have this time? When I bought mine, Discount Tire had them listed on eBay for $486 and they had a promo code that took $100 off of that.

It really won't matter if you go black or chrome. The lug nuts are deep enough in the wheel that you really can't see much of them.

Ya, I figured the color wouldn't matter too much. Every picture i found of them, most had chrome it looked like.

Same deal 100 off, but mine is a mail in rebate for a VISA card. Crazy good deal for wheels.

This is perfect!

Can you specify the aftermarket running board and roof rack, please? (It may be in the sig, but I cannot decipher it.)

How much rubbing with that offset/tire size?

I had to trim the lower front corner of the bumper cover, trim the mud flaps, and pull the fender liner forward. Pretty quick and easy stuff. It didn't rub as much as I thought it would.

The roof rack is OEM and I have no idea which bars are on the side. They were installed by the previous owner.

Thanks.

Finally got something done. Daystar spacer leveling kit; it's 2.5" in front, and IIRC, 1" in back. I bought the kit from Wheelers about 5 years ago, but waited 'til after the extended warranty was run out. Had to have the CV boots replaced a couple weeks ago, and figured "Hey, as long as it's up..."

It wasn't a dramatic change, but I'm happy. ...and my wife can still get into it comfortably, unlike the Bronco with the 6" lift and 36" tires!

If you feel like doing it, sure would like before and after top edge of fender to ground measurements.

K, maybe not 'before'...LOL

For those of you who have TE wheels, how much are you paying and how difficult is it to get rid of the stock Bridgestones? Cheapest set I've found is $800 with tires, which I would have to pay to get taken off the wheels in order to sell.
