Looking into getting 33" tires. 285 75/16s. But would I need to replace suspensions compared to my OEM fox shocks? Hmmm..

 

Very nice build. You have been busy.

So, Prinsu now makes the rack with the DAI bracket? I hadn't looked in a little bit. @gradyk33 I think was looking at that too.

For tires, I have heard others with the Pro Fox shocks going with 285/75/R16 with absolutely no problem. I'd be curious if those work too. It might also depend on how much weight you already have on your truck too.

 

Shouldn't need to replace suspension. I was on 33s with stock suspension for a bit and all was fine. Need a CMC though. I only upgraded suspension for the added weight - to not lose height.

 

Just bought mine about a month ago... upgraded all lights (interior & exterior) to LEDs, added the grille lights, and just this past weekend I put on my slight larger, offset wheels/tires.

 

That's good to hear. Thanks. I installed the 2" leveling kit. But Wouldn't wanna spend $4k more for suspensions when these OEM fox can handle the load and give me the clearance I need!!

Anyone up in the Bay Area does CMC's!? I could do the cutting and template. But if someone up NorCal has done it and has the equipment. Any recommendations?

 

BTW, hope you had better luck with that Honey Badger bumper than I did. Mine doesn't fit well (a weld is probably off by 1/4") and is rubbing my paint off the grill (other side is spaced out 1/4" from the paint). ADD's only response to the fit was saying the trucks themselves are off 1/4" sometimes and it's not their fault. They stopped answering me after that. Horrible company to deal with in my experience :/

I also recommend reinforcing the main mounts. I wouldn't trust that bumper to winch as it is, but you can buy reinforcement brackets like this. I'm trying to find the proper fit before I buy.

 

I agree.. It wasn't an easy fit that's for sure. Some of the bracket hole were off 1/4 inch. But had some help from fellow mechanics to help align properly. Winch install was close to impossible. Wish they gave more opening for installation.

I complained as well about the hole alignment but blamed Toyota for various reasons. Nice bumper but probably the last time I'll buy from that company too.. I took picks of the misaligned. I'll try look for it. Thanks again for your help.

 

Anytime. I haven't tried the winch install yet and not looking forward to it. Someone else told me theirs was almost impossible also and they had to drill out holes to make it fit too.

I'm actually thinking of cutting off the 6 main mounting bolts and welding in some longer ones so I can space the drivers side out more and stick the reinforcement brackets on with threads still left beyond the nut. I'd like to stick with the aerospace custom of 2 threads showing beyond the nut. Probably need an extra ~1/2" on the drivers side for that after proper spacing and reinforcement bracket.

 

as earlier member stated i too like the trd pro sticker on tail in black. looks real good. Nice lift and tires too!

 

Good luck, that's no easy task. Great build btw. Wish I was nearby to give you some help. And then you can do the CMC for me. Yeeeeah!

 

Thanks. As for the Prinsu DAI bracket. I contacted Prinsu about my mod and they said they were going to make their own. So I gave my 2 cents and some pics of my bracket and went from there. I'm sure they had their bracket finishing up their stress test as I am with mine.
I had a version of my bracket but had some play and would loosen. And then I have the aluminum spacers in between the rack and the DAI. That worked well.
I've had mine installed since January and have had no problems. No cracks, fatigue, loose bolts or rattle. It's very solid

 

Nice truck and like your tag

I have been reading through everyone’s threads trying to find the answer to this question. Sorry if it’s been answered.

With the stock Pro Fox suspension you can manipulate with spacers and added leafs to lift the truck? I want to do this effectively and safely as possible...

 

I did a 1/2" top plate spacer in front (1" lift) and a 1/2" flate shim in back. Bump stops still work fine, does not compromise ride quality or capability of the fox suspension.

 

Installed Demello Offroad Hybrid Sliders and Aluminum Baja Low Profile Bumper.
Added Baja Designs Squadrons for Fogs, a slimline s8 30” led bar, and a 9.5k Winch.
Tomorrow I will spool the winch with a Factory55 Ultrahook and Fairlead.

 

I did Revtek 427AP 3/4” spacer in front and add a leaf rear. Add 285/75/16 KM3’s rides great wheels better NO CUT NO RUB happy trails

 

Is anyone running aftermarket wheels with 33’s in stock suspension?
