Intro to fitting 35s (< 3" Lifts for those that wheel and love alignments)

Please do not flux core your cab mounts

 

Maybe CMC, but not the Relo

 

I will not. Thanks for the advice. It seems I need a better welder. What size is recommended for the CML? I also have the DRT gussets to weld on.

 

I bought a 180A Eastwood just for the job (on sale for $499 right now)
https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-mig-welder-180-amp.html.
It comes with the gas attachments and I already had a tank from my old welder. It works great.

 

I honestly recommend researching welding, welders, etc and educating yourself a little more so you can make an informed decision and understand what is actually needed to weld effectively.

 

This.

but make sure you look at primeweld. Great customer service and it has been a great machine to me so far.

 

If you don't have a lot of need or have plans that justify a investment into a quality machine the best option might be to do all the prep work and maybe get things tacked into place, then have an experienced/quality mobile welder (if available) do the actual structural welding.

 

I run Primeweld 285 and its been good. Couple issues with the gun which I want to upgrade in the future. Nice to be able to talk to a person when calling the 800 number tho.

 

Just got my wheels and tires on. 17x9 et-15 running 35x10.5 kenda klevers. Still need to flex it and trim more but its drivable around town.

 

I like the color combo.

 

That truck is so ugly that I like it

 

Finally bent a cam tab bad enough to convince me to get the Marlin HD kit.

I was short on time so had the shop across the street do an alignment for me afterwards but I’m definitely rubbing more than I was before. I can't actually remember my previous alignment but I feel this is way too much caster. That could also be because my wheel liners are shredding to pieces so I think I’m going to pretend this problem doesn’t exist until the Fend-X’s come in

 

Thank you all for the great information.

 

Prior to making the leap from 33's to my 35" Falken AT's, I had seen enough Tacoma's do so without trimming the rear fenders. Now that they are on, I am thinking that at full stuff, those tires are going to cause some damage. Can someone post a photo of their rear tires stuffed into the wheel well?

Idk if that helps much but no rub at full stuff.

35x10.5 tire and shock relocation with a 12" stroke shock in the rear. No trimming needed.

 

What UCA are you running?

 

Those Kenda 10.5 wide tires seem like the move. I have 12.5 wide with the shock relocation and it would definitely give me some peace of mind having a little space.

 

I trimmed thes fenders to eventually fit 37’s
