    well you asked for specs..... 06 trd sport speedway blue 5.3l v8 4.0 camburg lift spindles extended travel icons total chaos lowers allpro 4" leaf pack 17" xd hoss rims 37/12.5/17 mickey thompson baja atz Allpro hybrid bumper grill craft grill wicked flow muffler inside i have..... wet okole real tree camo seat cover blue oznium dome light stealth sub box with 2 10" kicker comp subs kicker 400 watt amp weathertech floor mats
    yah i know i bought the truck used with 20,000 miles on it it had the stock tires on it i think they were 265/65/17 and all i did was first i got the bridgestone dueler revo's AT 285/70/17 and they wore down reel fast doesnt help i did tons of burn outs but then i got the nittto terra grapplers AT 285/70/17 and took off the front mudd flaps and 1/4 inch spacers so didnt rub the A-arm rubs the plastic a little on the back of tire at half turn but other thanthat its the stock ride hight. so i have no clue why i can do it with stock height and 33 inch tires but soone getting the toytech 3inch spacer lift with AAL so i will get bigger tires when that happens and its the trd sport DC short bed

    Hey...Props to BOTh of you guys! Steel balls come in many forms....Some can be found on a two way shooting range, and others can be found running into a building when everyone else is running out. For that, I will always have a toast to you guys on holidays! :)

    Thats awesome! I wanted to do DC-1s in 16" but I called DC to ask about backspacing and offset and they told me not to put anything on a 2nd gen taco but their 17x9" size- did you have to do anything special when mounting those badasses?

    What do you have your front 5100's set at? I thought I read somewhere not to put 5100's with 885 coils. I never knew why? If theyre set at 0 what harm could there be? I have 5100s up front set at 2.5 rear 5100's with a fabtech aal, and the toytec diff drop kit. I want a little more lift up front to clear 285 on 17 or 18x9 rims without having to do a whole lot of surgery. thanks
