    My luck hasn't been good with the sticky ones. They always seem to fly off after an offroad trip.

    My stock rims too.
    Two different shops couldn't get a good balance three times with the hammer on weights.
    Finally went to stick ons and the balance works.
    Looking for some aftermarkets because of the scratches and OP's rims look very nice.
    Like him,I'm not crazy about stick on weights on the outside of the rim,though.:eek:

    Thanks again for all of the comments. I still have to give credit to all of the guys of TW for the ideas and trail and error.

    Just to clear things up the weights are on the backside of the rim just towards the outside of the rim to balance it. Not on the outside face.

    I couldn't imagine how easy those little suckers would fall off if they were on the outside face.

    Take a road trip man! I will send you my address.:D The pics on 4wheelparts do not do the rims justice. They look way better in person.

    I'm using a Panasonic Lumix.

    Nice truck! :thumbsup:

    Was it a 3" lift? Looks like a lot more than 3 for some reason. Did you have to trim the tires any?

    Yep. What I have done is Toytec CO's which gave me 3" up front and an AAL in the back that gave me 1.5" in top of the 1" from the TSB. I didn't have to trim the tires but i did have to trim the front fender wells some.

    I email Toytec and they told me I could use my stock UCA. How bad would the alignment be with the stock UCA? I'm seriously considering that kit but I didn't think I would need new UCA.

    Well I intend on hitting some trails so I wanted a little more travel. (I just tested the waters and found that my stock UCA's hit my CO's during full flex) Plus I want my alignment to be perfect. I also spent good money on my tires so I want them to last as long as possible, no need in them wearing faster do to a poor alignment. You can run that kit with the stockers but with what I have planned and wanted I needed new UCA's. Everyone on here says new UCA's are recommended not needed.

    So you should be able to get your alignment close but I wouldn't know b/c I didn't get it aligned with the stockers.

    Your truck might not ride wheelies, or explode, but the alignment WILL be out of spec. :)

    what exactly is a coilover? and does that give you lift? if i wanted to lift could i use coilovers instead of a "lift"? or do you need to lift and coil over? is this a 6 inch lift you've got here?

    how much did this setup run you?

    A coilover (CO) is the whole assembly (shock, spring, etc). In most cases a CO will give you lift, the Toytec CO I went with are adjustable so you can decide how far you want to go. The "lift" is just how everyone refers to the setup, it doesn't necessarily have to be CO's. The kit I have is adjustable, I have it set to give me 3" up front.

    I updtated my original post to answer a few questions for everyone.
