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

They're set on the .85 setting. The back is 3/4 inch taller. Really happy with the setup for now, we'll see how long that last lol

I like it alot, can you give a ground to fender measure please? Did you get in alignment without UCA's?

Friend of mine got his into alignment with billies at 1.75 and a 2.25 net top spacer, 4inches, hope to hear same from you. thanks

Yes I was able to have the alignment done and it's within spec. The front is sitting 39" front and 39 3/4" rear. It's almost completely level side to side with the top mount spacer on drivers side.
 
Doesnt look like many have done my combo on a V8, daystar 2.5/1.5, fj coils, and 275/70/18's

Today @ 170255miles

-Daystar 2.5/1.5 lift level
-FJ Cruiser Front and rear Coils 5,000 miles
-Tacoma TRD Front SHocks 20 miles new take offs (bought a complete front and rear set only to find out rears will not work)
-New Rear Bilstein Shocks (looked up application for 08 FJ cruiser)
-New American Racing AR901 in black 18x9 with a 0mm offset
-Used BFGoodRich Rugged Terrain TA in 275/70/18 flavor 33.5" tall tire 60% tread craigslist find, all four tires for $80.one tire had a nail in it :P

Basically refresh on the oem suspension.

Verdict if you wanted to do FJ Coils and daystar lift level.... You can do it, no UCA or LCA problems.

Height stock @ 170k front 31" to bottom of the front fender
Height stock @ 170k rear 32.5"
Height with Fj coils and daystar, stock tires front 35.5"
Height with Fj coils and daystar, stock tires rear 37"
Height with Fj coils and daystar and 275/70/18 front 38"
Height with Fj coils and daystar and 275/70/18 rear 39"

Does it rub? YES.
Where does it rub? Fronts only. Mudflaps removed. trimmed the fender flare a little bit. see pictures. moved fender liner up some more so it doesnt rub. About 20 minutes of tweaking the lower front part of the fender flare and fender liner.

Thought I'd post an updated pic of my runner to this thread, here's how it sits with the spoiler removed and the rest of my current mods

I'm pretty sure I've seen you a time or two in Roswell or one just like yours. It's always been out the corner of my eye so I can't be for sure.

How stuffed is the rear? It looks like the tires barely fit in that second picture

Stuffed. I didn't flex it out. I have massive rubbing on the front fender liner, I'm gonna bust out the air grinder Friday and take care of it. well, first im going to try shimming the screws that hold it in place or buying different ones and shimming those so I dont have to cut

When the rear axle articulates, unlike the front, it moves backwards since the control arms are fixed length. Think / going to ---

so short answer is it may rub the rear well.
 
First post!!

Finally posting something up here. Before and after installing a 2.5/1.5 Daystar Lift Kit, & 265/65/18 BFG AT KO's.

Wish I had taken more pictures before the change, but it looks much better now.
