    My 35x12.5 KM2s didn't stick out much either and I have long travel. The KM2s are narrow for their size. My 285/65 Toyo ATs are just as wide as the 12.5 KM2s I had. Hopefully they make the opening a little bigger on the new Tacomas.

    and relocate the body mount, while making it smaller.

    Epic thread revival!!!!!!!

    So for you guys with the kit, which has more sway?
    Tacoma with OME or comparable coilovers swaybar removed or
    tacoma with AP LT kit?

    Depends on how stiff you run your coil overs.

    I feel pretty stable on the street but I can three wheel it (not very high) around corners if I try.

    well I would probably put them so that I'd sit level with the rear (expo pack) so close to 4"? Sarah had already told me thats about where she was at. I wouldnt mind being a little stiff if it meant less sway in the corners. I would assume the fox setup is nicer than my OME set up anyway, even with a bit more preload on them.

    That's about where I run as well. I can't really explain the comparison in words, but I will say that it rides fine. It will be more than stock but well within street-drivability reasonableness.

    Offroad it will rock your world.

    Awesome, so it wont be a drastic change from my current setup then? Any little heads up things you can think of or things you wish you did differently?

    Would rim size make a difference? Right now im running 17's but I was planning on changing to 16's for cost and selection.

    AP uses the stock spindle so you can run whatever you can run on a stock setup. i'd gusset the spindle though while you're at it

    The rim question was actually about if 285/75/16 will cause me to have more sway than 285/70/17 due to the longer sidewall.
