    Those are the tires I'm ordering. But I'm also installing 4" spindles (prerunner). I think you'll need to cut &/or preload quite a bit for 3" or less lift with 34" tires.

    I had that tire size on my 4runner for a while. You need a cab mount chop and at least 2" of lift. That is what mine was at.

    CMC is not a very large mod. Somebody buying it from you probably wouldn't even notice or it would be seen as a good thing. My tacoma rubbed with just 285/70/17s until I did a CMC.

    I'm running 275/70/17 on my 2005. I used a heat gun to push in a small corner of the plastic wheel well on the front due to slight contact when turning at a 45 degree angle. Other than that there are no rubbing issues now. Did not have cut or chop anything.

    just a update.. king ran out of material to make reservoir brackets. they are in the process of making more, but after they are welded they still need to be plated... I'm hoping next week we will see more orders?

    Will my Icon Resi Brackets work? If so, can I get them without the brackets if it is going to be after May 6th? haha I really want them before my trip if possible. I understand it might not work out.

    Stuff I Think Makes it Better

    I actually did not make any adjustments, they both came from w/ 3 threads remaining w/ 700lb coils. I figured after a week of driving i'd see where they settled at, but initially I was sitting at 2.75" in the front.

    Oh wow that's mint - I got the same setup as you with the 700# coils - hopefully I won't need to adjust much. Do you have a front bumper setup?

    Finally had time to install those shiny blue anodized metal things on my truck this weekend. Thanks Micah for finding my Deavers hiding in the warehouse, and also thank you for this great group buy. Can't wait to hit some dirt!
