    Grillcraft, Rear leaf TSB, 5100's at .85, with Eibachs, 265/70/17 BF Goodrich AT/S Tires, Hella 500's behind Grill, Kenwood KDC X995 H/U all Boston Acoustic speakers, JL Audio subs, Kenwood XR5 S amp, ATX Chrome 17x8 wheels
    So you can do them at 2.5 with a 1.5 AAL in the rear and have no problems with 17 inch stock wheels with 265/70/17 on them? Or is it easier and safer with the Eibech springs?

    I cant imagine any reasons not to do it on a prerunner as far as consequences.

    Same situation here. They aligned up fine and with about 12k on this setup I am happy.

    im running that setup without any issues...if you want a better ride do the new springs but either way those tires will be fine thats what im running
