Very clean looking rig dude. So, how much more road noise, and diff. in mpg are you hearing/seeing?

 

[RonMAIDEN]

Looks nice over on this board too,Lee.

 

[MAC4Runner]

Give us the ride characteristics on your new shoes. They look HOT!

 

[lee]

lots more road noise.. these are not quiet tires by any means. they howl in the best way though!!

i love em. as far as mpg, i havent yet tested it, im gonna fill the tank for the first time tonight after work.

i was getting an avg of around 18 mpg with most of my driving being highway to/from work.

so i'll soon have more feedback on that.

as for the ride.. the bils and springs are awesome. bils absorb better and make for nicer dynamics.

the problem for me so far has been getting used to the height! im much better now, but when i first got in i was like.. WOAH.

hahah. overall its awesome and i recommend it all

Sweet ride!! Do you have the TRD bilsteins are the HDs? Did you buy the coils and shocks as a package or??

How much higher are you now? How does it handle on turns?? less body roll??

Thanks!

 

[RonMAIDEN]

The springs are only available from Performance Products so you will pay a premium ($370 made in Germany by H&R) but you can easily get the shocks under $300. Most people yield about 2" but never less than 1.5".

not much change in body roll, but it feels better in turns, even at higher speeds. its just smoother and it feels "right", like it shouldve come factory this way.

theyre the HD bil's, got em off ebay.

the springs only come from performanceproducts.com... check out their site for full pricing info.

Nice rig man, looks real clean.
Taking off those running boards makes a huge difference.
I took off mine and it looks so much better.
