    Oh wow, and what size tires are those? I'm running 285/65/18 terra grapplers with 5100's set at 1.75, and am trying to gauge if spindle lift would be too high with such small tire.

    Thanks for the photos mike, just what I needed to see! Can you by chance measure from the top of the tire to bottom of fender flare?

    It's like 10" in front & 10.5" in the rear, tire to fender. 26.5" center of hub to fender in front & 27" in the rear. It was dead even when I first did it but it settled a bit up front.

    Plan on regearing if you go with 315s, also if i was you i would look into moving up to 17s rather than sticking with 16s. Its hard as hell to find used 16s so unless you plan on buying all new move to 17s theres plenty of 17s in 35 but 16s are slim picking.

    Wish i could trade my 5 methods with someone who wanted to move down to 16s

    I eventually plan on regearing down the road...but as it sits I need to save up money to get tires then get these current ones sold. And personally, I really just don't like anything bigger than a 16" rim. I think the only way I'd go to 17s is if my 16s got damaged or destroyed and I found a set of 17s for real cheap, i dunno...i just dont like anything bigger than 16s. I plan on buying the tires new anyways. Lookin at gettin a set of general grabber red letters

    I'm in ft lauderdale. I was hoping to use my stock sport springs as well. How do they ride? Did you do UCA's? By the way I really like the color of your truck!

    I have a 2015 prerunner double cab, I want to install the 4" spindles and 2" blocks. I will leave everything else stock for now, and upgrade as I need. I want to run 255x85x16 Cooper ST MAXX on stock 16" TRD offroad wheels using 1.25" spidertrax spacers.

    Will this work? Any one got pics showing what the stock wheels with spacers looks like? How much trimming will be required? Thanks
