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

[BuckRunner]

Toyo M/T 285/75/17
ICON Stage 2
Spidertraxx 1.25"

I still have some more work to finish this up. I am happy with the stance and the way it looks right now (minus the mods in the future). The ICON suspension is ridiculously nice. Also the Toyo M/Ts are a much softer riding tire than I imagined. They are almost as quiet as my BFG T/A KO's but have a little bit more of a hum to them. The biggest problem that I came across is that at about 3/4 turn there is sever rubbing on the body mount. Going to take care of that in the very near future. Also I am planning on cleaning up the trimming they did. It looked as though they were in a hurry, lines aren't even inside the wheel well and just looks poor. I know the average person wouldn't even notice, but it still bothers me. Ill post some more pictures with a better camera when the final product is done (along with a washed car).

Looking back on it I probably should've just gone with the 285/70/17 just due to the totality of the fitment issues. Live and learn.

Looks Great!

I was at the discount tire the other day picking up my ATV tires I had them mount and and they tried to tell me I couldn't mount up 285/70/17s on the same wheels that you have.

It was pretty obvious he was trying to up sell me wheels.

Yes it's the limited edition $80k highlander official vehicle of NATO and UN.

So glad I can finally post in here! Crappy pictures but it's 5100's all around with tacoma springs up front and super flexes in the back. Install took me and my buddy 5 hours, 2 of those spent on one bolt. Im sitting at about 38 inches in the front and 39.25 in the back.

just curious, what setting did you set the front bilstein shocks to?

They're at 2.5. These tacoma coils are off a pre-runner so I don't know if they're any different than the springs from a 4x4 would be, but using this combination I netted right at 4 inches of lift in the front. Cv's are fine after I re-clamped them and my alignment guy was able to get it back in spec. Loving it :thumb:

Looks like you're gonna be doing the fender mod, I just did mine today for the second time. Finally alleviated all rubbing with my 27570R18 BFGs and the toytech 5100 lift.

Bilstein 5100's all around front set at .85
OME 884 1" Coil
OME 885 2" Spring

Under 700 bucks installed

Still along ways from where I want it to be, but it's a start and I had to replace the stock suspension. It was wore out. Driving from SD to Orlando is much better than the trip from Orlando to SD......I wanted to get Fox, King or Icon, but being in Orlando, I'd never get the suspension to work the way they are designed for the open desert.

This set up will work just fine.

Looks good man - What the specs on the wheels (size and backspacing)?

Did you do the install yourself or have a shop do it? If you used a shop, which one and what did they charge? Thanks

 

[rolling chaos]

Thank you very much! The wheels are 17x9 with a -12mm backspacing. I had to trim the fender a small bit and move the wheel well foreward as well (very easy to do). I used a shop, I'm just not capable to do myself(lack of correct tools, experince etc) at least with a shop the work is guarenteed, unlike if I screw it up It was pricey, but I at least have piece of mind it was done correctly ( I went to a performance shop) Thanks again

Which shop and what did they charge you? (I'm in the Cincy area which is why I ask).

Thanks

Cool - Any cutting, rubbing or triming needed?

Have a bit of rubbing on the flaps and front wheel well at the front bumper with full turn left and right. I just plan on trimming a bit of the flap on the inside and will push the plastic forward a little on the front. Hopefully that will solve the issue.

Decided to take some pictures while driving around town!
Lift: 885's w/ top plate spacer and 895's in rear w/ Daystar 1.5 spacer 1 Inch Body Lift
Tires: 285 Nitto Terra Grapplers on 17 inch 5th GEN TE Wheels

What kind of shocks are you running with the OME's? How's the ride with the spacers on over the lift springs?

 

[Dagobah]

It is

Haha, upon looking at the picture further, I realized you are towing my buddy Ryan in that FJ.
