Tires are looking good man. Definitely a visual improvement over the 265s. Nice little lift on your ride height too. You're way taller than mine now since mine is effectively "slammed" (~36.75-37" in the front w/ 285s).
How bad are you rubbing the BM? I had a slight rub under hard turns and reverse on the passenger side mount but it was fixed by getting around 3.0 Caster via the factor cam bolts and the -1.00 (aka +1.00) setting on the LR UCAs. Theoretically, I should be able to get more caster given my lowered ride height but I'm having some issues with a seized cam bolt. To date, I have yet to do any sort of BMC with moderate wheeling...only trimmed the front fender. Granted, my wheels sit slightly inboard of yours so YMMV.

I was very minorly clipping the mount. So i i did it a few times to get the mark on there and i only had to nip the edge of the body mount. Which is already exposed underneath and open. I did not reinforce as i didnt cut much off. I may reinforce in the end but as of right now i dont have any plans to as i see no need yet. I sprayed the cut pieces with the same paint i painted my sliders and it vanished. I trimmed some plastic as well and moved my liners forward a hair more. No rubbing now, very happy with it so far. Remember i also have 1.5" spacers.
You should get 20s for that lowered rig of yours. :fishing:

Haha...not exactly my style. I could just see some big, chrome 20's on there. :rofl: Heck, I'd be running 16s if it weren't such a PITA with my larger, SE brakes.
Honestly, it rides amazing now and I have so much more down travel than I did when I was up around 40.5" in the front. My biggest problem with such a tall lift height (when achieved all suspension) was the way it acted in large dips in the road/off-road at speed and how I could feel the harsh limits of travel. Ever measure yours? I was surprised at how little I actually had once I measured it. I have yet to measure mine at the current ride hieight but I know i've gained some back.
Oh yea, so you're around -38mm offset, -32mm more than me. That's great that was all that was necessary. I'm surprised you didn't have more trimming to do either but that is probably due to your lift height.

I havent measured it yet. I will when i go in for an oil change soon. I dont feel any harsh rebounds as if i were being over extending or extending past its limit. It recovers great over speed bump blasts/huge dips and undulations. for as much as im cranked im impressed with these Walker Evans.

Are you running a body lift? Or is that all suspension?

Hey man, if it ain't broke. Lol. It obviously doesn't really matter as long as you aren't feeling it or pushing it to the limits anyway. Honestly, I think some of my harshness was due to the LR UCA binding with the older style setup. Once I swapped out the kit to the newest style bushings/washers, it is much smoother all around. If it wasn't for the lack of adjustability like the LR or the higher costs, I would swap out for a uni-ball setup.

all suspension. No body lifts.

Got bored, read through your build, gorgeous rig. How do you like the super flexes? I'm thinking thats what I'm going to do for my rear springs when I lift mine. I plan to run 5100's all around with taco springs up front, 5100s set at 2.5, and super flexes in the rear. And maybe a daystar spacer to eliminate lean.

i like the superflex's. They ride nice and when you go out and stretch it out it definitely lives up to the name. I would go ahead and install the daystar spacer when you initially install. I didnt and was a huge pain.
I too had issues with the reverse lighting. I threw these in to replace the normal reverse lights, they made a world of difference.

You can't go wrong with them TOYOS. I was considering going that way when I bought my tires.
Might go that way as a hwy tire on my street tires still, just haven't worn out the 30" yet on the 16's
Hey, you could always send them MT'S over to me, and I could use them as spares when needed. HINT, HINT, buddy, old pal, friend of mine, LOL. I could even travel to you to pick them up.

OK, so dumb question... do you happen to still have the NAV unit from the rear? The previous owners must have pulled the deck at a shop and only got the head unit back...

Bought and installed Total Chaos Upper arms. I really wanted these to begin with so while i was swapping SPC bushings i decided just do it.
I didnt waste any time, UPS dropped it off and it stopped raining at the same time.
So far im loving these. it feels as if almost allowed a little more lift, ill take measurements but i highly doubt it.

I believe I still have my Nav unit if you want it. I don't remember removing it when I got a new head unit so I assume it's still in the truck.
