    I wouldn't mind seeing your alignment numbers too! I just can't stop my tires from eating fender and I've probably trimmed more than necessary!It's frustrating some are able to run 35's without issues, but I can't get my 285's to stop rubbing. My alignment shop has to be doing something wrong.:confused:

    BTW love your truck. Very well done.

    Okay so here are the actual numbers and apparently I was full of crap when I said 5*. lol I know he had it at 5*, but now I remember I had him back it off a little bit, in order to hit 5* my camber was off more than I was comfortable with.

    Here are the final numbers and like I said I have quite a bit of clearance on the road. At full stuff I rub a little, but only when I really stuff the tires! lol

    [​IMG]


    This is the aftermath from my Sunday trip. Videos will be edited soon! I love the added clearance. It is amazing what can be done with an extra couple of inches..ah..get it? lol Seriously though the swaybar delete and added height made a huge difference on a few of the trails. I am super pleased with my setup.

    Some new tires and full skids and I will be joining you! Definitely my goal by the end of the summer for sure. Been meaning to ask you, where did you get that flag? Found a place online for cheap but don't think it's worth it with shipping :eek:

    Awesome I will add you to our Facebook group since you are want to wheel! It is so addicting! It will be so nice to finally wheel with another Tacoma. I had to drive to Utah last year to find some! lol

    Flag is like $5 -$10 at Badlands I would just buy it there. I have an extra one of the armortech ones for the bed rail that I never used. They are $20 and it has never been used you can have for $10 if you want it.

    Well the 700# coils with Armor brought me back up to stock height. Maybe slightly lower. The 1" Toytec Seat brought me up 1". So I am .75-1" over stock up front.

    In the rear I would say I am 2.7" over stock in the rear.

    And running 35's here is what I need you to do. Go to a dealership and park next to a stock baja lol jk jk. Trucks looking awesome!! Put in an order for the 700# springs and Toytec spring seat to be installed when my bumper is ready!

    Haha! With the 35s that puts me easily another 2" higher as well. Sweet, I can't wait to see your truck all decked out!



    Thanks man! It's a big step, but I haven't regretted it for even a second.
