    So yesterday my spindles came in the mail from HeadStrong Offroad, shipping was super quick and I was stoked that they came in. The only problem is that I want to install them, do you think my truck will look stupid with them installed with just my stock tires? I can't afford new tires and wheels until at least the beginning of next year, but I hate to see these sitting around. I was thinking of plasti dipping my wheels as well.

    My tire size is 265/70/16

    Thanks!! Where can I get some spacers from? Sorry I'm really new to all of this but I want to learn more. Tell me a time and place you want to do the install and I'm ready as soon as I can get some spacers. I really appreciate all the help, would have loved to do the install with my dad, but he lives up in San Bernardino and is pretty busy with work right now.

    Here is the car he spent ten years building, but sold about 5 years ago

    These will be to kick the tires out a little due to the stock rim backspacing... As long as you have some brake fluid so you can bleed the brakes after the install that should be all you need... Are you keeping stock upper arms?

    Also verify those are the right ones but it shows 95+ Tacoma.

    Right now I'm keep my stock upper arms, and hopefully I can buy new coils and UCA down the road. But on there their site it says 1995-Up Tacoma 4WD (w/o Locking Hubs) don't know if the 4WD makes a difference either but I'm about to proceed with checkout because the sooner these come in the faster I can get these spindles installed.

    Dont really have one unfortunately, stock for now, all the way down to the programming, I have an HP Tuners, but havent messed with it yet. It has custom headers, exhaust and a true cold air intake thats in front of the passenger front tire. Works pretty good, but just seems normal to me now.
