    i may be mistaken but im almost positive any of the big name coilover producers will make you custom length coilovers for just a couple hundred dollars more than what they sell for now...

    ok then ill inform the shop of this CORRECT information lol. Here's the other thing about the shop though... They wanna charge me close to 4k for this lift:eek: Which got me thinking of going across the border for it. Soooooo does anyone have a shop they recomend going to in the seattle/bellingham area so i can join this club already!?

    f that move on to another shop. You can get the kit for 1800 and a dealership will charge you less to install then your shop will sounds like.

    I am pretty much sold on this lift. I have looked through the thread and it doesn't appear anyone is running 16 inch wheels with this. I am wondering whether 16 inch wheels with 4.5 inch backspacing with work or not? RCD says yes. But I know from reading here that Sgtfluffy16 tried to run the 16 inch FJ wheels without success. I wonder if is was because of the 4.75 inch backspacing on the FJ wheels or are 16 inch wheels just not big enough to clear?

    No it wont work. the 16 inch wheel itself will not clear the new knuckles. more specifically the where the tierod meets

    Thanks Corey. This is a bummer. I was hoping to use my existing ATX Mojave wheels with some 295/75R16 BFG ATs. Now I need to rethink my wheel/tire set up.
