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

[Flygirlz]

How are you doing with stock UCA's?
Did you install the spacer kit for a "full 3 inch lift"?

Nope, I didn't go with spacers for the "full 3 inches." Personally, I'm extremely happy with the look and performance so I'm glad I didn't waste money on them.

As far as my UCA's, I am running stock and haven't had any issues yet. I've heard/read that you only really run into issues when you go over 3inches.

First Post

Been meaning to put some pics up for awhile. Just enjoying some Georgia red clay. These are a bit old, but not much has changed since other than plasti dipping the wheels black.

Mods: Spidertraxx spacers, Daystar leveling kit, Cooper Discoverer ATP, Sport hood, rear spoiler, black housing headlights, Plasti dip emblems and front grill.

Thanks to all for the good ideas.
Cheers!

It's been a while since I've posted anything but here are a few pictures with the 3" OME lift, 285/70R17 Trail Grapplers and 17" Fuel Hostage wheels. Sorry for the iPhone pictures but I don't have any other camera. Enjoy!

Hey
I bought the same is for my 2007 toyota 4runner but i'm having difficulties mounting them. it seems the lugs are too short.
did you have the same problem?

I have those tires on my 3rd gen, LTX MS/2, they are awesome! It was like I got a while new suspension just with the tires. Those tires have more sidewall that any other tire in the same size. The extra sidewall flex makes the ride awesome and soaks up imperfections.

You guys are going to love the new BFG if you are any kind of off roader. I use mine quite a bit and so far these have been the best performing on and off road tire I have ever come across. That includes the few mud tires I have ran.

Before:





After:



Installed my 5100's/OME 885 fronts + 1/4 spacer/ superflex rears/ front swaybar relocate/ spidertrax.

I have FJ wheels getting powdercoated and duratrac 255/75r17's in the shop so that should be going on within the week.

Current tires are 265/65r17

Net lift before settling (115k miles on XREAS so I'm sure they were a little saggy):

Front right: 4.5 inches
Front left: 4.5 inches
Back right: 2.5 inches
Back left: 2.75 inches

Fj springs, Bilstein shocks, maxtrac spindles, daystar rear spacer, 305/55/20 tires.. More to come soon:whip2:

OME 884/895E

I love the ride. Feels great. I didn't find anyone with this spring combo to compare to but before settling out I am about 1/4-3/8" nose up. I am really hoping the front settles a bit. If not I may end up swapping out for the 895s. Sorry I forgot to take before measurements but ground to wheel well, (3/4 tank, 265/65) after:
DF - 37 1/2"
DR - 37 1/4"
PF - 37 3/4"
PR - 37 3/8"

Bilstein 5100's all the way around at 2.5" front. Stock Springs. Rear daystar spacer. 285/70/17 Terra Grapplers on HELO rims.

I feel like there is still quite a bit of rake and would like to put on some FJ springs in the front with the 5100s at the 2.5" setting. Would that be too much? Would I absolutely need aftermarket UCA's? Thanks!

What setting are your Billies on? Looks like a pretty large amount of lift when used in conjunction with the Maxtracs.

It was the stock bilsteins from the Fj. The FJ was a 2010 with the offroad package.. I was surprised by the amount of lift it gained from the Fj suspension.. Wish i would have measured before and after..

Thanks for hating.. Bought it 2 months ago and don't know what to use to shine the cladding up.. Way to post some negative ass comments by the way.. Just showing the lift I just put on it.. It's a lift and tire forum not a cladding discussion..

Are you rubbing UCA's or anywhere? I'm considering dropping mine do n some close to yours, kids etc! Mak it easier for all to climb in.

I installed my lift 2 weeks ago and I got my wheels and tires installed today. I had to go hit the trails to test them out.

Lift: Bilstein 5100 all around, Toytec 2.5" coils up front, Superflex rear coils
Tires: BFGoodrich AT KO2 275/70/17

I'm rubbing a little on the cab mount. I had to do quite a bit of plastic trimming also.
