    Regardless you still have a very quality upgrade for your truck! Might I say a very good choice in color too!

    Not sure. I think the Allpro kit does a little bit. Just by eyeballing it, it looks further forward. Helps a lot for clearing bigger tires.

    If you remember do a little measuring before and after your install. If I could get my front-end forward about an inch I think I could clear 39" Ive stuffed the shit out of my 36" irocks and have yet to rub

    Nice :D


    39s on a taco front end? That's pretty excessive for our differential, axles, steering, and brake system. But it would look cool. I'll probably try 37s, but even that is pushing it. 35s cause early wear on the front end parts. And the braking sucks. Are you actually gonna do 39s?!

    Ill post pics in the next day or two stuffed. the 36" are 13.50's and 37" are only 12.5's thats why I chose 36". I could do 37" pretty easy I think now.

    Oh, and yes your right…. If I break it I can build it stronger :) 39"s are pretty wishful thinking right now.

    Wait till you enter the world of LT. Or 37s, you will need to tub. My tire hits my fender well above my tire when I stuff it. 37s would be quite a bit worse

    Pics or you ain't stuffed. I want to see your 36's on and on the bumpstops turned at full lock, that's called stuffed. Any this else is called dreaming.

    Let's get some input here! Id like to hear what all of you have to say.

    What do you fellas recommend for:


    front plate bumper

    rear high clearance bumper

    sliders

    skid plates (must clear and cover dual cases)

    rear suspension

    Brand and model of tire(not size, I'm contemplating all the time..:D)

    Let's hear it! I'd like this based on experience with the product and design, as well as aesthetics of course. However the emphasis on functionality is foremost.

    Feel free to provide a reason why you chose to suggest that brand too.
