    Yes. Going to be easier to adjust with that side jacked up I would imagine. And since it's alredy been mentioned, you'll need a spanner wrench for the adjusting.

    Coilovers are a pain in the ass to adjust on the truck. You gotta jack the truck up, take the wheel off and find a way to get the wrench in there

    Otherwise, take it off, in a vice, and use the wrenches

    Make sure to spray the threads with wd40 beforehand

    Hahaha thanks bud :) that's what I said when it was like that ! The spacers are off now! As you can see half the tire and wheel stuck out, it was awesome!

    Is there a list or thread anywhere that says what tire size will work with this lift?
    ie. options for those that don't want to cut and for those who don't mind cutting

    I tried searching the "Wheel & Tires" section but was either not searching the right thing or don't know how to use that lil ole' search button :)

    And this is without spacers just so you can see how much more they were pushed out

    265/75r16

    Anything else will require trimming

    Everything from there is up to the owner.

    Silas runs eibachs..and 37s

    But he's tubbed the shit outnofnhis fenders and cab mount chop

    Ah excellent, I'm itching to get some bigger tires on this lift once I get the rear lift in and figure out what backspacing/offset & all that good stuff will equate to my stock rims so I can get some Pro Comp wheels :drool:

    Hey Cody are you sure that 265/75r/16's are the largest you can run with this lift?
    I just checked my tires (that are pictured a few posts back) and they're 267 x 76 x 15 (31x10.50x15).
    I feel like larger tires could be thrown on there and you wouldn't have to trim... there's a lot of room up front with my Eibachs/5100s
    :confused:

    I was just curious. I don't plan on changing it.

    Of course, I didn't plan on doing anything but hauling my boat with this truck either so... :D

    Ah well I haven't gotten into wheeling (yet) ;) so it's mostly for shitty forest service roads & pavement driving. By the sounds of that it looks like I'll be bumping up to 285s or something that'll fill up the wheel well space a little better

    height doesnt change the turning mechanics of the truck, or the wheelwell shape

    any larger and you're going to rub on the cab mount and all over your fender
    especially when at full lock and when flexed
