Blacktacoma23's Build

Thanks!
I got my wheels from them, but tires from discount tire because of there tire warranty

 

Hey blacktaco, did you have to do the chop cab mount after you changed to the 295 or did the chop have to be done with the 285s also? Do you the a different rim offset/backspace or a higher lift would have made a difference not to have to do the cab mount chop? Thanks and i hope you can understand what i am asking.

 

I had to do the chop after i got my 295's
I bought the right rims with a good backspace of 4.5, so they stick out, and so I dont need to get wheel spacers.
A higher lift would avoid the cab mount chop.

 

Sweet, thanks man

 

how much did you rub BEFORE you changed to 295's? you rub the cab mount when you were running 285's?

 

I didnt rub with 285's but I did a lot with the 295's

 

Good choice, it would probably kill your lungs if you tried.

 

Removed my front fenders for more clearance

 

where you hitting on the flares as well? how much lift did you get out of your pro comp?

lol i just got mine installed and both me and the shop came out to 4.5 inches of lift! trucks looking good bro and thanks for the great advice on the setup the sway bar thing helped alot man it really ironed out the front end.

 

Your welcome!
Whenever I went wheelin the tires would rub like no other on the flares. But on the street I never had any issues with rubbing.

 

Hahaha, the dank tank... awesome bro, spaded and faded.

So in order to stuff the 295s on 17s in there I have to lift a minimum of 3", do the cab mount chop, replace the UCAs, and maybe remove the sway bar?

 

You own my dream truck!!! Nice Job!

 

Hahaha hell yeah!
I would say a 3" lift would be your best bet along with a cab mount chop. New UCA's lowerd my truck, but fixed my alignment. Removing the swaybar just helps with the ride quality off road.

 

Thanks man, have you installed your lift yet?

 

One of my favorites! I love the revolvers there my favorite

 

Awesome man, just awesome. About to instal my 3 inch kit that I pieced together, hopefully it comes out like yours I just need some 295's. Did you ever regear and replace those bushings on the strut tower?

 

What lift are you planning on installing?
Im running stock gears/bushings

 

-OME 885's on 5100's (still deciding if I should install w/ top plate spacers for a full 3")

-TC uca's

-Icon 1.5" 3 leaf progressive pack without overload leaf for a plush ride.


I noticed that in one of your posts you stated that the uca's LOWERED you a bit?

 

yeah blacktacomas truck is what inspired me to lift my truck with the pro comp and i must say i think that its an awesome lift 'm loving it so far.

 

i'm gearing next and looking into detroit mechanical locker for the rear and a detroit e locker for the front. that would be a nice little set-up.
