    33's will fit no problem but how wide are your wheels you plan on running. When you say -44 offset sounds like you want to run a 12" wide wheel which will probably rub a little at full lock. You need to remember that the spindles make your track width 3/4 wider on each side so ideally you would be better sticking with a wheel no wider than 10" wide.

    Yeah I was thinking about a 12 wide wheel. Guess it'll be better to go with a 10 wide

    It'll be pretty much like stock.

    I'd think about getting up into the 6" range if you want to run a really wide wheel.

    Although it can be done (At 4"), you'll for sure be trimming a good amount and CMC

    But, don't let that deter you from the look you want to achieve. There aren't necessarily ways around things, but there are solutions.

    Ride quality is fine, but it depends in what you really expect. So, it's kind of a personal thing! When I had it, I was happy with it. Right now that I have the 2018 TRD coils in the front, I can feel the suspension pretty stiff. But, it is part of the game I guess when you don't have the required amount of Benajamins. Yes, the best lift options are way to expensive for me! :)

    One thing it's for sure, once you replace your OEM suspension, the truck won't never been the same. You will have to sacrify the confort of your truck if you want to make it to look awesome! Unless you have plenty of Franklins! :D
    :p

    This is my truck with 285/75r16 on 16x8.5 -6 Offset 4.5 Backspace

    One more thing, the truck is always dirty on the sides. :(

    That's an aggressive stance for -6. Looks good. Spacers?

    1.25 spidertrax on the rear to match the 0.75 of the Maxtrac Spindles. No spacers on the front.

    Blocks! But it's just a temporal lift! I'm saving for OME Dakars. :D

    @ChadsPride when you had the TRD struts on, did you ever get a steering wheel shake when turning fast or driving on certain roads?

    mine too even after everything was put on. But it’s my wheels. Discount could never get it right. I’ll have a shake around that mph then it’ll disappear

    Little or more than little? :) Did you ever checked if your rack and pinion move when you turn the steering wheel several times from left to right? I got the shakes between 45 and 60 and It's fucking annoying! It could be provoked by so many fucking things... Tires, balancing, Suspension stiffness, etc, I'm asking you because my alignment guy told me that the rack and pinion bushings of these trucks are very weak, so when we lift these babies, the bushings can't no longer hold the mother fucker rack and pinion still and that could be the reason of the shaking. That's also why it's so difficult to center the steering wheel on these trucks when they do the alignment.
