My Heart Hurts.. 265 Woes...

Is yours lifted? I am plain stock and not in the mood to lift d/t all the bad vibration crap being posted after a lift job.

my stock is 265/65/16. I would like to go a bit wider but I think I have no options...


I like the way yours look.

 

If you look around at my post history you'll see that I too was very upset with the stock vibes. I lifted mine 2" and all my vibrations seem to be gone. I think I might have a small take off shudder, but nothing close to what I had before. For what it's worth...

 

Really? damn....I hate you guys....lol I might go for a lift now... What did you guys use for a kit?

Beavis, I am heading your way at the end of this month bro. I might call on you to help me with this lift....

 

Old Man Emu eh? what's that run for....?

My Taco is a 07, 4x4 dbl cab. I would mainly get it for looks unless you get me into wheeling and then my wife will go nuts when she finds out I got another hobby! lol!

I will wait until I get there at the beginning of July to look at your trk. No biggie if you can't help with the hands on portion of the job. I mainly would want your expertise on the job. I do not mind wrenching it myself while you sip on beer.

Been to the area before but was there for about 4 months at Ft Lewis. This time, I am there for at lest 3 yrs and will try to stick around a bit longer...

 

I see....

I have the TSB done to the rear and I just added the Ride Rite air bags. Do I have to ditch them or do something different to the rear?

 

Cool!

I'll look you up when a get in the area.

Thanks for the help/info.

 

Agreed

 

What lift do you have? I'm about to get my OME lift and I have the same tires as you basically.....265/70/17. I like the looks.

 

Thanks, Fox mid travel coilovers set at ~2.75" of lift. ICON 3 leaf mini pack in the rear.
There are lots of pics in my gallery, and if you hover your pointer over the blue text under my avatar, you can see more specs

 

Just so you know, it's closer to 1.25"...1.259" to be exact...

Stocks are +32mm offset. Spacers push the rim outward, giving you negative offset, so you'd have to get a 32mm spacer. 32mm = 1.259". Spidertrax are 1.25...close enough and a good, reputable name.

1.25" will give you closest to flush, with just a tiny bit sticking out...just right in my opinion. 1.5" will give you more of that sticking out look.

 

what kind of wheels are those?

 

You can't see the wheels...but just about any rim with a 0offset and 265 wide tires would give that stance.

The tires are GoodYear Duratrac's.

Here's a pic from his gallery of the rims...

 

Damn you

 

265's with toytec 3"

 

Now that's a clean truck. And a nice neighborhood. Reminds me of a little town called Carnation.

 

Thx I did a cornfed suspension spacer up front and a 2" AAL in the rear...no vibes to speak of

 

Cool. Hopefully I'll get about the same amount of lift out of my OME kit when we put it on in a couple weeks.

 

I think that every time I see his truck.

 

285's! 285's!

 

^ When you go outside/into your garage today... you will find slashed and pissed on tires.

They are beautiful...
