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

[Spiderman87]

When I purchased the truck. Here it has Bilstien 5100s up front I think in the second position ie leveling it.

Title says it! Love the lift, truck did great at ohv Park a couple weeks ago.

What are those D rings mounted to?

 

[Spiderman87]

Custom built recovery points. They are 1in cold rolled steel plates sectioned and welded into bumper crush members. So they tie straight into the frame.

So I just bought this sport edition a few months ago and finally got some height out of it. Now wheels and tires will definitely be next if I can find some inexpensive ones around.
Before:

After: 2022 Tacoma Limited struts and a 1.5" coil spring spacer in the rear

Looking good mduganjr they really need to come that way from the factory!

Wow - nice job. this is probably what toyota should have done with all their 4x4s

 

[mduganjr]

That's a good looking ride!

Looks dope bro! any plans for the rear? I see that you're in El Cajon, hope to see you around!

Thanks! Yeah both 4th and 5th gens should have straight out recover points IMHO. Likely lawyers, bean counters, and safety reasons they did not.

Looks great! I'm considering the same setup but with a 2/1 spacer lift. I also want to keep my XREAS. Did you notice any changes in the way it drives or difference in mileage? I love everything about the way my '05 Limited drives but I need a little more clearance a few times a year on Colorado fire roads.

No difference in quality of the ride- smooth as before. For what I wanted the spacers gave me everything. I am very satisfied everyone says it should come from the factory like this and I agree. I cant speak to mileage yet but no difference really- only sized up 1 from stock 265/65/17

275 70 18

Just went 275 70 18. I couldn't find much info on this tire size, but wanted to keep my factory 18's that come with the limited.

Had to do BMC and push fender liners forward up front, and some cutting to the rear bumper and remove the mud flaps front and rear to prevent rubbing. Love them! True 33's. All details in my signature about my suspension setup in case anyone in the future wants to get 33's on the factory 18's.

Looks good - I always wanted the limited rims for the 265 70 18 size you can get

Is that 4 inch lift or a 3 inch lift? Also, what is the offset on your wheels? Thanks In advance

 

[Zero0575]

The amount of lift depends on the weight you have, and I didn't measure before and after so I'm not sure. It should be between 3-3.5" up front and around 2 in the rear. All of my suspension specs are in my signature.

Finally Feeling Worthy

Thought this background was better than my driveway....

Just did a 1700 mile road trip through Owyhee country and everything performed great. I love the Ironman ride. It feels a lot like the X-REAS did. I needed new wheels to clear the Ironman UCLs, and then had to push my fender liners forward after I bought the wheels. I still have my mud flaps. I only heard it rub once on the whole trip and that was at full compression coming out of a creek bed at full lock. I'm very happy.

2003 v8 with the Eibach Pro Kit, stock UCA's
Pro Comp 18x9 ET 0 with 275/70r18 Duratracs.
Only minor trimming up front so far, but they contact the rear mud flaps on the tiniest of flex, so those will be the next to go. I like the look. Had just bought a set of Motegi Trailites with 265/70r17's, but I had this set of tires laying around so I figured I'd see how the 18's look. I like em but sheesh they are heavy.

Gorgeous!

Toytec Ultimate 3" lift Nitto Terra Grapplers 265/70R17s with Spidertrax 1.25 spacers.
Love it.

There is nothing more beautiful than a rig with mud all over it haha! Great lift. I keep debating between a 2.5 or 3" lift.
