    Is that the only spot that rubs? (While offroading I'm assuming)

    Pics of the 285's!! I'll be looking into that route when the stocks are completely done too.

    Are you barely rubbing on flat ground or barely rubbing stuffed?



    It sure does get hairy! All I have to say is thank god I had full skids. Taking a full size on any of the Moab trails seems like a bad idea to me! :eek:

    I am getting my CMC Chop on saturday, then I have to chill for a little to buy the tires. That shit is too expensive for a product that wears out. My future plans are to go 35 so I don't really care about trimming. I will probably put a 1" BL at some point. I think I might have some custom fenders made that look the same, but are 2" smaller. and cut the body accordingly. I saw a few people on this last moab trip that have it done and it looks super cool.

    the kit is $1550.

    it comes with
    4 shocks
    2 front springs
    2 bump stops for the front
    brake line bracket extension for the rear

    if you are interested in it call rich schaefer at toyota of morristown in NJ. dont waste your time trying to get other parts dealers to get it, they usually have no clue how to order it and will tell you it is restricted to owners of a Baja

    I wonder if the rear shocks have enough travel to handle the OME Expo leaf pack? I know that the rear shocks are longer and have longer travel than stock.

    According to this guy, a shock around 16.5 inches long compressed, and 27 inches long extended should fit perfectly.

    I think Brandon had a picture in this thread with shock measured.

    Great thread. Congrats on the suspension Brandon. I really hope this is one of the first mods to my 2013 TRD Offroad.

    Got to finally test the suspension on some dirt this weekend after adding the cradles. Man, so much better.

    Short clip, nothing crazy.
