    For 2" suspension lift, can I get by without having recon, or this a must? My rims and tires are pretty much same size as stock.

    Mahalo CBoy808. Knowing my luck, that would happen to me. I'll be getting recon right after my lift is installed and alignment done.

    From my recollection you can move up a wheel or tire one size and still remain legal right?

    When I had my LX450 80 series I did OME springs and shocks and made the leap from 31"s to 35"s. Never once got recon in the 4 years since I lifted it and only got kicked from safety once due to a blue bulb in my PIAA fogs.

    Okay so here's a serious question. I see so many trucks with recon stickers that are nowhere near compliance. So my point is why bother? I mean you have a sticker with tires sticking 6 inches outside of any fender with no mudflaps, you still getting pulled over right? Gonna get written up same as if you didn't have recon right? I just don't understand it.

    They get recon for the lift and risk the ticket for not complying with the rules...sadly I don't think there are enough cops to really enforce it.

    If they got caught, they'll get ticketed and their recon revoked. I wonder if the cops could have the truck towed if "deemed a safety risk"

    But yeah. Need recon to pass safety to renew registration.

    I love looking through CL and seeing all the trucks that are totally "non-recon" say they have recon..

    But to each their own.... I would never want me or my wife to be inconvenienced and get pulled...

    Yeah that's what I don't get, recon or not you're still getting pulled over right? So why waste time getting recon unless it's for a safety check and they spend hours getting it back to legal once a year.

    yeah, this is true. recon sticker or not, you're getting pulled over. like luka pointed out, the real shitshow is getting your safety to renew registration. I got my recon waaaayy before my 2 yr safety expired, only cause my wife would break my ass off if she got pulled over in my truck for no recon. my truck isn't even crazy, but when it's that time of the month, IT'S THAT TIME OF THE MONTH - if you know what I mean. :spy::spy::spy:

    I sold it for $10,000 as seen with the fresh paint, an eclipse / focal sound system, and some other upgrades.

    Yeah that why I was thinking hey it looks like Lexus should've made it like this, the 31's were way too small. I actually liked the rounded look of 35's

    HAHA I saw TX and thought Texas didn't realize you were local, my bad, so yes that's my combined MPG given the local streets here.
