    What does that do for ride comfort, panic handling, and stopping distance? I imagine it’s good off-road or in snow though.

    You'd have to ask him. But in all seriousness, I can't see if having a super negative impact on any of those things. Ride comfort has to do more with the load rating and amount of sidewall. Not sure what you mean by panic handling, but I assume that wouldn't be changed significantly. The brakes wouldn't have as much rotational mass with the reduced weight of the tire, so I'd imagine the braking distance would be improved. Something about inertia, a term i vaguely remember from physics.

    Of course, I could be completely wrong. I'm only speculating.


    Speak for yourself!

    that's probably what i would do. with that kind of misalignment, you could probably use a square to check the new position

    Thats what I figured, and I never did any pre-lift measurements, for all I know it had rear left toe at .2 and right rear toe at -.2 before I did the lift and adding all this stuff just amplified what it was doing.
    No biggie though i knew it wasnt going to 'feel' the same at all in comparison to the pre-lift feel. Also the guys at Rock Solid 4x4 in centennial did the alignment, the guys were awesome there too and did it for like $85, said to give it a week or so with that current setup, and see how it feels and bring it back in to them after to see if I liked it or if it needed further adjustment and theyd be happy to dial it in more. Im gonna try to get under it this weekend and adjust those u-bolts and see if that fixes it before i bring it back to them too.
    Another thing it could be pulling is the new tires... so many variables lol

    I edited it. It wasn't written how it should have been written. I was playing off of a few people crapping on some strangers tire purchase.

    Small change today. Finally got rid of the annoying scrape of the OEM antenna on my garage every time I exit and enter, which kept loosening the antenna (which every few days I’d have to tighten). Never again!!!

    Added Napa calipers, stoptech rotors and trd pads courtesy of crashnburn80 thread. Just need to bleed them tomorrow and bed them in.

    Is this question meant for me (@GlennHaggis)? If so, I’m not sure what you’re asking about.

    No, stock tacoma size. I just needed new calipers since mine are 15 years old/200,000 miles.
