285’s On A 4 Banger SR?

FYI 265 75 16s fit without issue and still look very nice.

 

The problem is they are both compromises over a proper coil / shock selection for how the vehicle will be used.

The only advantage is they are more budget friendly choices. For the initial budget. For some folks that works out fine for the long haul, for many folks it doesn't. Then they put on the right stuff, with a net of having spent more $ in total and having an unpleasant experience in between.

My vote is to save up more money and get the right parts the first time.

 

Thank you whatstcp.

 

hey man I got a 4 banger as well throwing om the same body lift with bilsteins/885s, any luck In figuring out that bumper gap/any advice on the body lift?

 

Never touched the rear bumper gap, I don’t even notice it anymore, lol.


The front two cab mounts were a pain, it’s much easier to access them via the fog lamps/lamp covers. I was trying to reach around under the bottom and popped off one of the covers to see better, they are right there.


The front wheel engine splash guards need to be popped free for the body/frame movement. One of mine would never mount back due to the size, I used some roofing felt to make a new one, it’s still in place.


I used a bottle jack and a small piece of wood in the wheel well on top of the tire to jack up each side, while installing the pucks.


Don’t forget to loosen the gas filler tube, or you’ll hear a pop as it pulls out under pressure. Loosen the steering coupler before also.


The Toytec instructions are decent.


I’ve done three body lifts, the first time I wrote down my own instructions in order and then went back through it a few times.


If your doing it by yourself, start to finish, it’s about 6+ hours.

 

damn that’s nice thanks for the help, ima try to give myself a day first warm weather we get. I’ll keep you updated thank you. Hopefully my mind gets past that bumper gap too haha
