New Lift Wheels and Tires With Pics!

[billycj7]

Just a note to anybody considering this lift, I got it from Burtman. He was great to work with. It only took me about 4 hours to install and I could have done it faster if I could have figured out how to get the front to droop more. The instructions dont tell you to do it but, as soon as i took out the bolts that hold the anit-lock wires to the suspension, I finally decided to disconect the upper control arm and that made all of the difference in the world. I spent an hour on the passenger side and 20 minutes on the driver's side. The xreas did not give me an difficulties. The rear was a snap. Luckily the maiden voyage didnt set off any warning lights and it drove great! The rear is a little more stiff but I guess that I expected that. I cant believe the difference that it made. I cant wait for the tires, when I get them on, I;ll get somebody to help host the pics. I am geting new wheels at the same time so it should be like a total makeover.

i like it!

Dude,

Nice job. Your black beauty now looks aggressive. Makes me want to do mine!

3 years ago, I did a 2.5" lift on my Sequoia. I loved that look. I even had BFG tires like yours. How high did you lift it? Are you using coil-overs in the front and spacers in the back?

It's too bad I have fairly new 20's wheels and tires on mine. If I hadn't bought those, I would probably go back to the 4x4 look instead.

Sweet @ss ride!

That thing is mean looking. I like the lift and the chrome wheels compliment the black. I noticed alot of lifts on 17's on here, doesn't anybody use 18's or are the tires too hard to find???

What kind of wheels do you have BillyCJ7?

 

[leesdawgs]

what year is your CJ???
I had an 81 till I sold it for crack, J/K. I loved that beast, I never found anything that could stop it. I had an LS1 in it with 44s, I could climb a brick wall if I wanted, plus it looked spectacular being pulled to shows on my flatbed behind the ol' T4R.

That's one bad-arse looking 4Runner! Did you ever consider going with the all black look and getting black rims?

 

[billycj7]

I havent ever considered going all black. I like a little subtle bling! the wheels are just enought to make it look bad ass yet still kinda classy. But i have seen the all black ones and like them also, Just not for me.

Re: trimming

I have the same question... Could you specify, preferable with pictures, what exactly have you trimmed?

 

[leesdawgs]

I have 33/13.5s and they rubbed like crazy at first but I ended up trimming the frame down at the turned down corner on each front mount. It works now but if I am flexing I have to watch out sometimes, depending on how much I flex.
