    My 63s cost me $100 bucks versus my dakars that were over $400 so not sure how money plays into the equation. And the droop isn't pointless on IFS. Sure a SA truck is more flexy but an IFS will still benefit from it.

    It's like going from 31s to 35s, an extra 2" doesn't seem like a lot until your in the rocks or prison.

    You're right. Due to where I live I never think baja! There's no place to go fast off road for more than a couple 100 yards, if that, for 100's of miles from me. Closest to me would probably be New Mexico & that's over 8hrs away.

    Love that wheel...but hate the specs. They're only 7" wide and a 30 mm offset.

    With the 7" width you may be getting a little bit of sidewall pinch. Add in 15 mm of less offset and I could see rubbing slightly

    The main point is to get mad flex on the cheap. At least that's why most members here do it

    I get the cheap more travel part. But all the others I've seen have gone sua with them. Either way, I wouldn't run them. Used old leaf springs meant for a truck that weighs way more than the Tacoma. Just order custom deavers and be done

    I think this thread has gone off topic enough.
