    my hero

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/139587-new-wheels-tires-9-lift.html


    i was plannin on doing 5100's with ome 885 and if I need then put the uca on, but spruce is giving me his 3'' spacer so i'm gonna take out my 2'' leveling kit, and rather than fight for the extra inch or 2 with suspension, i'm gonna go for the 3'' body lift (this might not be til i get bigger tires though, or he takes my $200 http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/pts/4383509266.html)


    i don't really offroad, and don't care if it rides like shit, i just wanta look badass (badass is in eye of beholder :))

    Oh ok, I don't know bro. How much higher did you have to go? I had assumed you did the top plate spacer so you had to take the wheel off. Forgot you got nice c/o's and you just need to raise the truck up enough to take the weight off. So it didn't have a vibration at all before you fixed the lean?

    No worries, don't take anything here personal.

    Your truck looks good now. I didn't even know that was yours in the signature until yesterday. I thought it was a newer member or something.

    I have a few mods
    I had asked restylers to raise them to 1.75 (both) originally, which this is the reason im never going to an aftermarket store to install stuff anymore...they put them to just under 1.5 and put my rear brake lines in the front :confused:. but the driver side is i think close to 1.75 or maybe a little higher, and the pass side is right under 1.5, Ill have to get exact measurements of the heights

    and yes, it did not have the vibration before raising the CO up

    it does look good, even with those 20s ;) you should get a set of 16/17s and go with 35s :cool:. but I know you love your mpgs, my last fill-up I averaged 14.1 because of my lead foot and "new" K&N CAI :eek:

    My only vibration comes from my tires. But they have pretty much always vibrated. Then again, I am the type not to care about something like that. Unless it was rattling my teeth or parts were falling off my truck, then I would probably care. Maybe.
