Sweet looking truck!! I'm am about to do the same lift and tires on mine. Big Plus on the white letters out. You just need to slap some spidertrax on it and you're set. They made a huge diff on mine.
Thanks man...acutally just ordered the spidertrax this morning...can't wait to throw em on!

Very nice looking! Looking forward to pics with spacers. BTW, have you monitored gas mileage with your new BFG'S?
Thanks. I'm putting the spacers on Friday so I'll post up a pic. Just got them in.
As far as has mileage goes I'm at about 19-20 hwy. Not too bad...so far.

2008 FJ TT Bilsteins up front with a 1/4" ToyTec spacer. The FJ Springs all around. Couldn't get the rear bilstein's on because FJ owner drilled through the top nut into stud on one and I didn't want it snapping.

Nice! Good looking set of shoes. Any rubbing issues with the Duratracs? Like the splash guards or body mount during turning or at full stuff? A set of Perkins sliders would be a great next mod. 
I'm looking forward to seeing the gobi rack and ladder setup.:thumb3:

I had some rubbing on the rear mud flaps. I replaced the screws with flush ones and it solved the problem. I trimmed the mud flaps in the front in half (darkie3495's Idea). I haven't noticed any rubbing on the body mount yet - only once on the passenger side sway bar. I have only used ramps to check. I will find out if I need to chop the body mount on the trails. Talked to Gobi today and they said it should be shipping next week.
Thanks!

Daystar 2.5/1.5 and 265/70 Nitto TG
Well I had some time this past weekend to install the Daystar 2.5/1.5 Spacer Lift Kit on my 2007 Sport Edition 4Runner. It was a pretty easy process once I realized that I should not follow the provided instructions.
For the front end, the easiest way to do it was to remove the front skid plate (4 bolts), remove the sway bar and end links, unbolt the shock/coilover assembly (top bolts and bottom bolts), unbolt the lower control arm at the hub (2 bolts), and loosen the lower control arm bolts where the alignment is done (you'll be getting an alignment when you are done so who cares). By doing this, the LCA goes to the ground, allowing enough room to slide the coilover assembly out and makes it easy to put the spacer on. The daystar instructions want you to mess with the ball joint and whatnot, which is a pain. The first side took about 3 hours because I didn't know what I was doing (and didn't have any PB Blast yet). The second side took ~20 minutes.
Rear end is the same as others have done.
