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

Before and After wheels/tires/lift:

- 265/70/17 BF Goodrich KO2 A/T
- FN Wheels Fx Pro 17x8 Wheels
- Bilstein 5100 Adjustable shocks in front set to 1.75 with stock coils

I really like how this looks do you have any other pictures? Any from the side facing straight on? Did you put any spacer on the rear coil?
 
Got around to upgrading my 2008! Loving how it turned out.

Ripped out the old XREAS (which went surprisingly quickly...) and put in
Toytec/Bilstein 5100 on the front, Toytec Aluma Series on the Back with Superflex springs. SCS Ray10 in Matte Dark Bronze with Falken Wildpeak AT3 at 265/70/17. Had to do a little bit of trimming of the front mud flap and push the fender liner up a bit, but all in all nothing too crazy.

Finally Modded

Finally got the Dobinson's Lift installed on the truck, love the way it sits and rides. Shoutout to [MENTION=148378]Crikeymike[/MENTION] for the help. Also, thanks [MENTION=165]momo.75[/MENTION] for the decal's back when I was in school lol. I'll see you around, hopefully, mine will look as cool as yours one day!

Looks great man! Where are you now?
 
Thanks! I will try and take some more pics this weekend. No spacers just the shocks in the front. Shocks for the rear and coils all around will come later along with new UCAs as I lift it a little higher and plan out accessories.

Thanks! I'll post more pics this weekend. Sorry still new to using forums. I joined back in 2018 shortly after I bought the 4R but life got in the way of building it. No spacers. Completely stock in the back. Just the 5100s in the front. Will be trimming the inner wheel wells this weekend to put a stop to the slight rubbing.
 
Finally upgraded

I went with Bilstein 6112’s up front. 5160’s in the rear with Bilstein FJ coil springs. The UCA’s were upgraded to Total Chaos. I didn’t find any local swaps so I ordered the Bilstein’s brand new from Wheeler’s off-road. I very much appreciate Bilstein’s quality and low price compared to other brands. After the body mount chop, I threw on SCS SR8 wheels with Falken Wildpeak’s 285/70/R17.

My Goodyear wrangler DuraTracs that were only 6 months old went to my junior Marine that was in desperate need of tires.

Please excuse the pictures as resizing rotates the pictures when I try to upload them.

I have not lifted yet, but I thought this would be useful info. I got these Falken Wildpeak ATW/3's on my 2008 and contrary to a lot of what I read, I still had to make some modifications to fit. They are 265/70R17. They required trimming the front bumper and moving the liner forward. And behind the front tire required hammering and bending the pinch weld behind the mudflap. May not be required with the lift.
 
It's been a long time coming due to covid and the holidays but I finally got my wheels in. Had debated between the FN five stars and SCS F5, came down to me thinking the SCS F5's had too big of a cult following behind them. Regardless both are great looking wheels. Hopefully I can find some time this weekend to replace both front inner and outer tie rods up front and new lower control arms upfront and slap these guys on. I'm no [MENTION=63060]rickashay[/MENTION] with the lens but got a Ricoh GRIII for work for food photos so I'm a work in progress.

Lol. Love the tight close-ups. Big fan of these wheels (also the F5's... but I agree they are now VERY popular, which makes me somewhat less interested in them).

'06 V8 with 5th Gen springs/shocks. 1" Cornfed spacer on the front. 255/75/17 Duratracs. No rubbing so far. I think I still want another inch higher on the front, I have a 2" spacer I may swap in. The rims were pretty beat up so I sprayed some Duplicolour wheel paint in them with a matte clear.

Looks nice.

Is that not a 4x4? Im surprised you can get a 2WD in canada. Here in the northern untired states, difficult to find one from a dealership thats 2wd, though used dealers usually start to import older vehicles from down south, so maybe that one is originally from southern US?
