Can't wait to post mine. This weekend hopefully. Pardon this but I'm burning some posts to get through my first 15 obligatory posts
 
Toytec Boss 3" set to 2.5"
SPC UCA's
285/65 Toyo Gran Country A/T
18x9 et0 Enkei RPT1

Still need to get a wheel spacer for the front. Aesthetic reasons only.
Any recommendations? I am afraid of spacers due to some horror stories I have read.

Did you have to do a BMC? Any rubbing?

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

No BMC. Very mild rubbing on rear plastic fender well driver side at 3/4 turn going backwards. Not enough to make me do anything about it, very rare that it happens. I think if I ever get some aftermarket UCA's it would adjust the caster enough forward to avoid completely.

Going to 255/80's next and will address it then if they touch.
 
Wheeler’s Offroad 2.5” front springs (Eibach) and 2.5” T12 springs in the rear. Bilstein 5100’s front and rear. 285/70r17 BFG KO2’s. No KDSS lean.

God I love those wheels. They basically ruined me for all the common offroading wheels. Ill just run stock until I can afford those or some other OG JDM company puts something out for us.

Custom valved 2.5 king shock coil over extended travel finned resis, adjusters and stainless shafts front. Custom valved 2.5 king shock w/ Triple bypass ( prototyping for King) w/ finned resis, stainless shafts extended travel.

I have the front leveled to a stock rear “height”. But I’m testing a prototype coil out as well. I’ll get more into it later on my build page.

Running 34’s on some trd forged wheels. Perfect wheel for this truck. No need for body mount chop. Just had to remove the front mud flaps and also slight trimming of the front inner fender liner.

Today I’m going to throw in another could for about 2” rear lift. My thing is not about lift. I actually want to be as low as I can but pull x amount of travel.

Thanks! It was love at first sight for me too. I've been modifying and building sport cars for 20 years now and always went for a style that met on the same level as the function. To me, JDM builds always meant JDM wheels (BBS as an exception of course) My truck won't be a rock crawler and it will be a long while before it sees aggressive trail adventures....and fake bead locks are out for me. So a 'sport' wheel that can walk-the-walk was what i wanted.

I'll hit you up should I decide I only need one kidney and then grab some TE37's. :dance:

Same. Ive had a pile of old corollas, a corona, a S30, a nasty turbo S13, turbo ITR. all had hard JDM wheels. Theres nothing harder than a TE72 on coil overs and 15x8 -5 hoshinos ;) I wish the TEs had more dish to them.
 
If I wanted to keep my factory 2” rake on my Off-road, should I be lifting front and rear the same amount? Or should I lift the rear higher than the front?

I’m looking at Dobinson c59-300/c59-505
 
See the signature...have since added Greenlane Offroad Aluminum sliders and looking to upgrade to 285 KO2s.

Hello, in these shots, does your rig have wheel spacers?
