Thanks ArcticEd, appreciate it. As far as any rubbing issue, there is some when in reverse at full lock. Still, it is pretty minimal.
I chose to go with the 2.0 because I will not be adding any excessive weight (bumpers/winch).
I am really enjoying this set up. It has virtually eliminated any body roll and nose dive along with any wandering issues at highway speeds. It is a very stable ride.
You will not be disappointed with OW.

Looks sharp...glad to hear and see that Brian worked out for you. Might have to have him do a little work on my ride soon!

Chris - Not totally sure yet as I just barely fit in my garage in Newton. Moving into my fiance's place in Boston in a few months so I will have to check the garage height before I do anything. Ideally, would like to go up an inch or so...
Your ride looks great, glad your enjoying it!
How did my friends blue D90 look?

We all would, in so many ways....sorry, I know it is borderline gross, but I had to do it.

Jeff- Brian has, I want to say four of them over there at his shop. They are cool to see when you roll up there. I didn't pay too much attention to any of them when picking up my 4Runner after the install to be honest with you lol. I was kind of zoning into my truck.
Davemon- Thank you. As for spacers, I am not running any. I've talked with others about them and have heard more negative responses about using them. They cause a lot of shake I'm told. As for the 285 Duratracs, they fit fine on the stock wheel size. I know it wouldn't hurt purchasing a set of wider wheels for them. I do have some slight rub only in reverse at full lock.

So I'm assuming that the aftermarket UCA's were necessary then, to prevent the wider tire from rubbing the stock UCA's?
So, did the tire shop give you any hassle about the 285s on a 7" rim? I saw Tirerack has the minimum rim width as 7.5 on most of their 285 tires. Wondering also about safety, and the likelihood of popping a bead when offroading with a narrower rim. Any insights you, or anyone else, may have would be welcome. I'd love to save some coin on rims this summer when I upgrade, but only if it's not a safety issue.
