What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Today I wired of my Caliraisedled.com ditch lights with a factory style swith. The switch lights up blue when it is on but couldn't get the picture to focus on it.

 

I'm not doing it on my own. I have a mechanic I'm cool with helping me out. But I will take pics of the process. From what I hear it's simple. Don't have to take apart the coil or anything. Just pull the tires off. Couple bolts. Slat it in and bam. I'm going with the 2 inch. When done ifor the front looks higher I'll put in small blocks on back. Doubtful though

 

Question..the stock rims are alright looking.obviously would like dif ones but has any one put tires of there choice on the stock rims and noticed them being a tad more appealing? Thinking they may look better with a more aggressive tire? Just would rather buy tires than wheels layer not at once.specially if they look decent with different shoes.. thanks

 

It'll be high, 1" is all you need to level. 1" block in the back will get the job done and stock shocks will be fine.

 

Will that cause any noise or something? And I figured it may be a Lil bit high in the front. But with my job I always have a decent amount of weight in the back so . Idk. Wutz product I need for the back? Just 1 inch block??

 

Ahh nice! How much?

 

I love my stock wheels and kept them when I lifted mine. 3" lift with 285/75/16 tires I did have to use a 1.25" wheel spacer for upper control arm clearance up front. I went with SpiderTrax spacers, best on the market IMO, made in America, lifetime warranty. I didn't do any cutting at all and I have no rubbing issues.

 

Nice looking ride!

 

No noise or anything like that. Maybe look for a 1.5" block with a 3* taper. That'll help keep your pinion angle where it belongs. Anything over 1.5" in the back will require longer shocks. Also make sure the blocks come with new u-bolts, stock will not be long enough.

 

Thank you

 

I only order the front level kit. I'll do that and go from there. Prob should just get the stuff ordered for the back now.

 

How hard was it to replace the side view mirrors with the Rav 4 convex mirrors?

2" lift for the front will make it pretty level. I did a 3" in the front and 1" in the back and my truck sits pretty level

 

Thanks for the info

 

Install is easy and straight forward but it takes a real heafty pull to remove the old mirrors. Don't worry, just pull and tug till you get those rascals off.

 

And will you still have all features of existing stereo. Back up cam. Gps. Xm. And still be able to use steering wheel control?

 

Can you send me your thread. I'd love to do the same.
