3-inch Ultimate Lift---17's or 18's?

ive got 18s but voted 17s, tires are cheaper..

 

With 33" tires, I think the 17" wheels are the perfect size. 18's will be a bit too big in my opinion. When I bought my tires/wheels, I had this same issue, but I decided on the 17's and couldn't be happier. 33" tires with 17's look just right.

 

Thanks man

 

All together with the UCA's and shipping, it ran about $1550.00. The Ultimate kit comes with: Bilstein 5100 Coilovers and rear shocks, sway bar relocation brackets, rear AALs, rear U-bolts and longer centering bolt, shim wedges for leaf pack.

Toytec recommends the carrier drop brackets for better driveshaft angle. Those set me back around $10.00 and took 5 minutes to install. I have no vibration issues with the kit.

 

Thanks everyone for the props and the wheel help. I ended up just biting the bullet and getting the 18's in the Xd Monsters with the 285/65/18 Nitto Terra grapplers. I think that it looks bad ass with the magnetic grey and will take some pics tomorrow and post. I was going to go with the 17's, but the xd monsters only come in 18's and I really liked that wheel. I wanted to go with the Nitto Trail Grappler but it would have been 3-4 days and would have cost somewhere around $200.00 extra for the set, so I said screw it and went with the Terra's.

I took a sharp turn and the tire did rub slightly on the inner fender plastic bump, but the tire seems to fit and look fine.

Wheels: KMC XD Monsters, 4.5" Backspace, -12mm offset (sticks out about 1.5-2 inches)

Tires: 285/65/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers

Pics are on the way!

 

Before and After:

 

Looks Great!!! Good job!!! I voted 18"s too!!!

 

That is sick!!!!! I don't know why but I don't like the roof racks. Makes it look like a Nissan Frontier. IMHO

 

Nice looking truck, reminds me of mine, but I have the addicts.

 

what are your coils set at?

 

fukin rad! love the dark grey. grill is bad ass too.

 

I believe that they are set for 3 inches of lift from Toytec because I am sitting perfectly level with the rear end. I didn't measure stock from hub to fender before the lift, but I took a measurement of 24.75 inches after complete install. I got the AAL w/the TSB done.

 

Thanks Swise!

 

That looks like it's higher then 3"

 

Those new wheels look real good!

 

What ever you have made please post some photo's. I'll go for 18s.

Brax.
