    Looks good man. How much did you have to crank those Kings to get your Coopers to fit? Or did you just leave the coilovers at the factory setting?

    Thanks

    oh yeah, I forgot you had a 2016 so you have the nice projectors :D

    is your truck on Oahu or BI? not too many people on the TW Hawaii site have Coopers... you might be the only other person I know. I have the 255/85 ST MAXX. I was super close to getting the STT Pro's. how's the noise levels?
