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

love the ride. same as stock. road noise is minimal.

i tow with it and the setup works great. not a problem at all. super firm and doesn't rock

Hmm, that's good to know. I'm re-considerning a spacer lift to make the lift project more palatable for the short term vs big money on an Overland Warehouse lift.

In this option my setup would be:

- 265 70 17 BFG AT's in Load C
- SpiderTrax spacers (I assume 1.25" since that's what everyone seems to be using)

- Was considering the Daystar 2.5 / 1.5 lift until I feel like spending another $1-2K on upgraded suspension.

I tow a boat that with eveything is 4000-4500. Stock it sags a bit too much for my taste, occaisonally I get flashed on the road... only had a few chances to test it out after getting the truck end of summer this year though. Does yours sag in the rear too much while towing? Sounds like no?
 
Here are a few pix from my beach camp 12/19/11 - Gamble Rogers State Park, Flagler Beach FL. http://www.floridastateparks.org/gamblerogers/default.cfm

The rig makes for a nice camping set up. I sleep in the back so yanked the rear seats to get more stretch out room for the REI 3.0 super plush sleep pad - also gives lots more storage. The dirtbike hauler converts into a table in addition to the Coleman camp table.

And the view from the back!

It's blur. Bokeh is "desirable" blur. I shoot a 5D2 and L glass.

Hinting why I put "fake".

Hemingway had a really nice typewriter too, thats why he's so famous. Thomas Jeffersons quill was so amazing, thats how he got into the history books.

I say this because it doesn't matter what your shooting, artisic vision is more important. I will say I've seen your flickr and you do have some nice stuff, but don't participate in a pissing contest with people on the internet.

DayStar 2.5/1.5
Bilstein 5100's X4 set at Zero
FJ Springs
BFG ATKO 270/70/17

Things I would do differently:
Probably take off the DayStar and just use the Front shocks for lift.
Be more careful on the front LCA ball joint...made a little hole
Take off the XREAS about 5000 miles earlier!
