Pics of new tires/Bilstein 5100s installed! Now suggestions...

So after the snow melted, I finally got out to do a half-ass clean up in the slush/water. Pics include new Cooper Discoverer S/T 265/75/16s with Bilstein 5100s up front set at 1" setting. I love the new tires and the Bilstein's are major upgrade from the stock Billies.

I am happy with the upgrades, but I want to take it to the next level so to speak. I want to add a little more overall "lift" look. Keep in mind, I rarely off-road (3x a year I take it to my father in-laws cabin) but want a "tougher" look. FYI, already have decided to take the brush guard off & I have 2-60 lb bags of sand in the bed of the truck.

Your suggestions are welcomed!

 

plasti-dip your emblems and get a black trd offroad decal. thats what im doin!

 

lookin' good

 

Get some new wheels. 16"X8" with 3.5" backspace will make it look tougher. To me tires that don't stick out past the fender are very boring/old man-ish.

 

Looks good man!

 

Looking nice! I love the look you're going for!

 

truck looks awesome man!

 

If you're goin for a tougher look, through some aggressive looking rims on it w/out centers.

 

Do you have your front billies set at 2.5." If so, how is the rake with the 1.5" AAL and the billies @ 2.5" from front to back?

Thanks!

 

set your fronts at 2.5 and add a 2" aal in the rear, new wheels and tires.

 

i have that same set up, my rear sits slightly higher than the front. it's not too bad but i think i'm going to add a 1/2 inch to the front
