    I put spidertrax up front and I cant really tell a difference between that and the rear. I think they certainly look better a little bit farther out up front.

    The further you push the tires out the more they rub the fenders.

    Id strongly suggest not doing a 3" BL.

    Well your a 2nd gen. So you can easily fit 35s without even tubing. Just need a hammer and body mount cop. I would not get a body lift. The fender flares are what is rubbing. Only have to cut those and they are easy.

    Do more research on trucks that have 35s. Mr. Grimm and NYCO would be ones to look at.

    Big tires will always rub a bit on the frame. No avoiding it.

    Now to me it seems like you need to ask yourself why you want 35s? Its a lot of work and you'll need to regear to really enjoy the truck with the big tires. If its just for looks. I'd just get 33s and call it a day man.

    What happens if you have spacers on w/ red loctite and need to change your rotors or bearings? How do you get the spacers off if they are on permanently? I'm just thinking ahead cause I have 1.25" SpiderTrax wheel spacers on my Tacoma with the Red LocTite they provided torqued to specs

    You can still get the spacers off. The red loctite is used for permanent applications because it is the strongest. You can still remove the spacer, takes a lot though. I use blue for my brothers 4 runner

    And the 3" BS is what I have. Makes the tire rub a lot. makes a good stance though

    Ive never had issues removing bolts with red loctite on them..

    But you can always use Blue if you want.

    Ive never put loctite on my spacers though. And every time i check them they are still at 90ft/lbs. The extended thread lug nuts are worth it.

    Haha I love the honesty!! If you have the resource, putting heat on that red locktite will do the trick!

    So the Blue LocTite isn't as strong! Also I put Red LocTite on my Light bar allen head threads so hopefully they won't get stolen. I am getting locks for them, the LocTite wasn't supposed to be a permanent solution.
