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

[SoCal35]

Stock suspension was shot so I went with a budget lift. Bilstein 5100's and OME 885/895. BFG KO2 285/70R17 on 17x9.

Curious minds want to know: what exactly did you have to chop chop?

I’m going with the same set up, how much trimming can I expect

The body lift came with a steering extension. I will say though, it was a little bit of a pain to install because of how tight of a fit it is. At 3", there's just barely enough room to get it in there, and at some points, almost not enough room to work. It took some finagling, but we eventually got it put together

Great work!!

New MK6's with -12 offset, should I keep the spidertrax on or get rid of them?
(pictures shown with spidertrax)
I'm kind of digging the stance with the wheels poked out a bit.

 

[momo.75]

since they have -12 I would lose the spidertrax

Agreed

Bilstein 5100’s and Toytec eibach/super flex

Bilstein 5100’s with the front set at 0. Front has Toytec Eibach springs with 1/2” aluminum spacer on driver side and 1/4” passenger. Rear Bilstein 5100’s with Toytec super flex.

I’d bought an OME .40” spacer for the rear too (couldn’t find 1/4”) but seemed too thick so I chose not to put it in. Not sure if it will matter with only adjusting for driver side lean on the front and not the rear? At some point I may sand down the spacer to 1/4” and throw it in the rear if possible.

Level 8 gunmetal grey wheels, 0 offset (thank you to Drift Monkey for the suggestion, I like them) with TRD center caps. I gained close to 1.75” negative offset with the new wheels if my math is correct, either way they definitely protrude more. Falken Wildpeak 275/70/17. Pushed the fender liners forward on the front and removed the front mud flaps to stop tire rubbing.

I actually didn't trim too much. I trimmed the front bumper about 1.5 inches shorter and then used a heat gun to push the fender liner in a little on both sides. I actually trimmed the fender liner on the driver's side a bit because of the different shape- I couldn't heat gun the liner that well. I haven't done the body mount chop yet but I'm thinking that I'll need to do it soon. I still rub slightly when I'm reversing down an angled driveway, but I still need to do some figuring out on that.

For the rear just cut the bottom of the mud flap off. Then you will still have the upper part. Its easy to cut it even with bumper so it still looks good. For the front on the front liner, remove the bottom bolt, push the plastic forward, drill a new hole and install bolt there. I did this when I had 285/70/17.

I do have rubbing on both front and back of liners and a bit of the front bumper. Have to figure out how to push forward or trim so it looks good and not cruddy. Could probably remove the mud flaps and would stop rubbing going forward.

I just removed the mud flaps on the front, it was rubbing on the hump portion that sticks out. The front liner I just removed the bolts, trimmed the front of the liner, and pushed it all back forward and made new holes when I screws this back in. Could probably fit bigger tires now but no more rubbing! Very nice!
