    Ordered a set of 305/70 R16’s K02’s mounted on Method 701’s. I knew it was going to be dicey getting them to fit with a Toytec Boss kit.

    I’ll still need to hammer the pinch welds as I think there will be rubbing if there’s some compression on a sharp turn.

    I might go back to get another inch or so of lift but definitely prefer the stance over stock.

    Now I can focus on getting a new bumper.

    Oh you're going to rub something awful if you ever leave pavement lol. I see a lot of trimming in your future. Looks good though!

    ...and on that note, don't wait until after you go offroad to trim. If you rub bad enough it will chunk up your brand new tires...I know all too well.

    Not quite full lock, but you can see how close it is to the pinch weld. It’s the only picture I have since it’s dark out now. Definitely will be hammering that and lifting a bit more.

    I had the mounts chopped when the suspension was installed.

    I fit 305s on mine with maxtrac 4” spindles, had to cut and sledge the pinch weld, cab mount chop and cut the front bumper flares. They will rub but after 20k miles they fit perfect

    About 2”. There’s room on the coil overs to go up another 1” or so.
