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

Then I have a question for you, would there be any flaw or benefit of having the whole FJ setup with the Daystar spacers? like any concerns of angles or extra parts you would need...

I don't think so unless you just want the bilstein shocks.

You're welcome Jay! Glad you're happy with it
 
Just a teaser pic with the stockers minus front skid plate...:girl: daystar plus Fjs!! More to come!

AFTER: 275/65/18 Duratracs. Haven't measured change in height yet, will first thing in morning. THESE THINGS ARE BEASTS. Think the front may be up to 40":shrug: But anyways, here's a few i took in the driveway, had a hectic day so didn't have extra time to find a cool pic spot, but there'll be time soon for that! a huge thanks to all on the forum, especially those who took it upon themselves to help me narrow down my search and get things done!

That looks awesome man, wonder if I could stuff those tires on mine. im only sitting at 36 front 36 1/4 rear though. Might require a lot of trimming.

Good job though, love the look.
Thanks:thumb3: Yea you'd be good in the back, but in the front you'd probably get pretty good into that inner fender liner. I'm barely clipping the little nub on the bottom part of it at full lock, so i'm moving it forward tomorrow to rid myself of that problem, but you might have to cut with those measurements. Could go 265/65 in the 18 in those i believe? That probably wouldn't give you any grief!

Hopefully we can all meet up soon, with A_Hul and BlueSkies too.
Sounds great to me! A central Bama T4R rally:cool::driving:

Yeah 265/65R18 is definitely the way Id go, no into all the trimming and removing of mud flaps.

yea, gaterose has BFG's in that size right now, should look him up! They look great and don't bring on any trimming! I only removed the front mud flaps because the tread was slapping them:bravo: Hard to go wrong with the BFGs or Duras tho if you're willing to sacrifice a little mileage! What would probably work though, is a 275/65 Firestone Destination A/T. Should look them up, they're #1 on the tire rack A/T comparisons and feedback! Casper has them on this forum, should talk to him about those!
 
If you want to keep your front flaps you could trim the inside like i did. Keeps all the crap off my tubes.

How many times have you walked out to look at it?....lol
 
Thanks man! Your rig is very nice! reminds me of when i first lifted mine!!! The mobius is my personal baby! I didn't have the heart to see a 80k boat deteriorate in the salt water so I bought her a few years ago! I'm gunna bite the bullet and buy a centurian soon. I usually spend most my time behind my dads Enzo sv230 when i prepare for wakesurf competitions and i love it! Pumped for summer as well! As long as it decides to show up... LOL :cheers:

That looks great! :hatsoff: I haven't been on very much lately but nice to see you finally got everything put on. Your truck looked so much better than mine even before the tires with the wheel spacers....they make any wheel/tire combo look more aggressive. Of course, now it looks much better.

I notice you were around 37.5" with the stock tires. Thats right around my initial lift amount (~38.5-38.75 w/ 31.7" tires), before any settling. I would advise you to keep an eye on your CV boots. I'm sure you will need to reclamp as well. They started spitting grease about a week after the lift and wouldn't stop leaking until I reclamped them. Now they haven't leaked a drop, as far as I can tell, since last year.

Also, be mindful of your ball joints as mine have developed a tiny amount of play. They were leaking a little grease as well after the install but haven't done much since. Ahhh...the joys of lifting.
