Got my bumper on from HomerTaco. ATO builds some great stuff. I plan on getting in on the skid plate group buy when it occurs.

 

No Spidertrax. It is probably due to the 9" wide wheel. If I could do it again I would have got 16x8's

 

Can I ask why? I am about to buy a set of wheels that are the same size as yours but I decided to wait just to hear what your answer is!

 

The 9" wheels have more rubbing issues just because they stick out a little more. There are also limitations set by the tire manufacturer in respect to rim width so your tire options are reduced. Having said that the duratracs im running are only approved for an 8.5" rim and I have had no issues.

16 or 17 is a personal preference. I would rather have more rubber, hence Id rather have a 16" rim. I stupidly trusted the opinion of the "Experts" at 4 wheel parts and that is why Im running a 17x9 rather than a 16x8 like I originally ordered.

 

Dam nice ride

do you get any steering wheel shake or vibs on the freeway? and what lug nuts do you use with your wheels??

 

hey man. Great looking truck. I want to black out my stock tacoma rims and put those same Goodyear Durotracs but the 265/70/16 becuase my stock rims are 16". Did you have those tires on when your suspension was stock? (no lift), if so did they rub?? I dont really want a lift just yet but I need more agressive tires and the black out.

 

The Eibachs @ .85 rode alright. A little stiff but not bad at all. The 885s should provide a little more lift which is what I wanted and won't be as stiff. I got UCAs for the new set up. The truck seemed to float a little on the highway and my alignment wasn't the best.

I also wish I left the overload leaf in for a bit more rear lift. I dot recommend getting a single leaf pack. When I put the cap on my rear sagged a bit. With no weight the 1.5 would be perfect.

 

The quick answer is yes they did rub at stock height. I think that was due to the 9" wide wheels. If you have stock wheels then you'll be alright or stick with an 8" aftermarket wheel.

 

No shake in the wheel. My tires shook a little at 50 but not too bad. I got gorilla e/t spline lugs from wheelers offroad.

They have black lugs now but if you live in the salt belt like me you will want the chrome ones. The chrome doesn't rust like the black ones.

 

Truck looks good! I'd love to get a new bumper but can't justify it till mine gets a bit more damage Haha. But Allpro sliders are next on my list. Hope to check out the truck in April!

 

what wheels are those?
