looks great

 

Nice wheels, definitely complements the look of the truck overall. A super-quick Google search found them at ~$140/$160US (16"/17")... may be able to find them cheaper:

I'm adding them to my "consider list".

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm still pondering that.

I thought because i had the extra height in the rear i would just do the front and see how it sits. I wouldn't lower the front though, i would go up an inch in the rear.

They are Method Race Wheels www.methodracewheels.com . I looked for 6 months. I wasn't that into chrome, and i couldn't find the right look in a black wheel, but i knew i liked aluminum. There just aren't that many nice options.

KPT, you were one of my inspirations, so i appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

I paid $200 but mine are 18".

 

Looks tight Biff . Very nice .

 

Hey Biff, I am wondering, do you have to level the truck if one put all 5100's as you did? I like the way the truck sits stock, I would to raise my truck about 2" maybe 3", but the stock stance.
Do you know anything about that??? I have a 2010 TRD sport.
Thanks

The 5100's are adjustable only in the front. If you wanted to raise the whole truck equally and still keep the stock rake you would set the fronts at 2.5" (or whatever you want) and you would need to either put a block in the rear or use an add a leaf of comparable lift to the front.

I hope that makes sense. There are lots of ways of raising the truck. The 5100's in the front and add a leaf in the back are probably the best bang for your buck.

 

Great looking truck, I really like the wheel/tire set up!

 

thread title win

 

Question that might have already been answered, I am running the stock Billies with the 2" blcok up front 1" in the rear, if I were to upgrade to the 5100's I can take blocks out of the front and the back correct? and set the lift height with the new 5100's?

 

Looking real nice

 

I also am Canadian, so I have the stock 4 leaf pack. Most American trucks adding the TSB leaf seem to be able to get away with the 1.75" front 5100s, however, on mine I could only go .85" without being nose high. If I were to add 1" in the rear, 1.75" would look great, with a slight rake. So maybe with our stock 4 leaf pack it has had time to settle or something.

 

The 4 leaf pack definitely settles , especially if you haul heavier stuff in the bed a lot .

I've probably lost 1 1/2 " since the truck was new .

 

well done. looks great

 

Yeah.. Ive been hauling my Renegade 800.. The dry weight on that is 600lbs, so thats probably why. I'm in the process of adding a block, and having a custom AAL built at 1" so i can go to 1.75"

 

You still need something for the back. Only the front's are height adjustable.
