    How wide is that enkei rear? You are running the same width as me which comes to damn near 11" of tire. Granted you will be turbo'd soon, so that will make sense. And those tire sizes are few and far between as well as pricey.

    I'm running 18x10.50 +15 with 275/40 squared. I plan to stay squared too, not a fan of staggered set ups.

    They come in all kinds of interesting sizes, you can even have them made to your spec for the extra monies. I've always been a fan of them because they are a cheap/light/strong good looking wheel.

    One thing I have seen on block lifts for American trucks, is that they put "ears" where the block meets the leaf spring. It helps, but it is still a block, in the end.

    Yeah those wheels were my first choice but then I ran across the cheap Chinese version and said fuckit as I liked them better for only 4lbs more of material per wheel.

    Yeah, take that and flip it and you have my axle :facepalm:

    When I did the Tundra Racing axle flip/ drop kit, it greatly increased the axle wrap. That was what motivated me to change my suspension setup, and get the Caltracs. That axle wrap made me feel like it was going to destroy the ring and pinion.

    I need to get front coilovers/bigger tires so I can raise the truck up a little bit. It would be nice to be able to drive around with out ripping off the lip kit.

    Negative ghost rider, I like the way it looks haha. I only want about an inch more clearance between new tires and suspension adjustment, maybe a little higher in the back since I'm almost at a 5 inch drop back there. I'd be happy with a 2.5 front and 4 rear with a little bit more tire.

    Run a 1" spindle spacer and the coilovers and you could achieve this up front.
