AH! Finally got it done! New Lift/Tires

[k6uk]

Well,
It took some time waiting on the Deaver springs, but they finally arrived, and my truck is back from Demello Offroad. Here's a pic:

It now has 285s, with lexus GX470 rims - Donahoes up front, Bilstien 7100s in the rear with Deaver Coils 20% firmer than stock and 2.5" longer. 1" 4crawler body lift as well. I also put on some Spidertrax 1.25" spacers all around which balanced things out nicely.

A little trimming was done as expected, but no rubbing so far - but I haven't been anywhere offroad yet!

Oh, and just for reference here is the before pic:

I'll post more pictures a bit later.

Thanks Everyone

Thanks for the comments.
Yes, I am pretty happy with how it turned out!

I can't wait to get it on the trail and find out what it can do.


As for my future plans for the truck, I've got some ideas - but right now I'm going to worry about paying for what I just did!

Thanks for your help everyone.

Mike-

:victory: Looks great! What kinda of shoes you got on there? I couldn't tell from the pic...

Shoes

Those are Cooper STTs - I really like the look of them.
I heard good things, so I thought I'd give them a try!

Great looking truck Mike. I am so impressed by those 4Runners.

Looking forward to seeing it on the trails

Looking very nice Mike. Keep me posted on the performance of the Coopers, I am thinking of going with those on my next tire change, which is coming up soon. I know Chris really likes them.

More Pics

Thought I would post a few more pictures (we all like pictures):

It's leaning a bit to the left, going to even out the Donahoes tomorrow.
Also, I am moving to firmer valving on the rear shocks.

Any plans for rocker protection or traction devices at this time?

 

[k6uk]

Yes! Both are in my future!
But for now I need to get this credit card paid off
