    Its not hard at all. Very very basic. Just time consuming.

    oh I'm not saying they are bad at all! I wheel with a lot of guys that have 255s and are very happy with them.

    it's sheer personal preference / looks.... I like 265 or 285 width and think 255s look great from the side, but like spare donut tires from the rear

    i did! The worst part was grinding down the rivits and then hammering them out. You could just grind it flush and not pop it out but i was ocd and had to pop em out.

    Thanks! Front end is about 38.25 and rear is about 38.5. Swear i’m never anywhere near a level surface when i think about taking pictures of it. I’ll get more down the road. I ended up using a step drill bit to ream the e-brake cable bracket hole to fit.

    Cool man, thanks!

    Almost wanna toss the overloads in now! Looks good! The max lift for the rears are 1.5” though, aren’t they? Only reason i didn’t put them back in.

    I believe it is 2”. Leaving the overload in is fine.

    Thanks and yea, I prefer the overload as I like the 1” rake.

    I ran this set up on my 2011 and loved it. I just got my 2108 TRDORLB and keep changing my mind on the set up. This thread helped me really solidify my decision. Thanks guys.

    Looks Great! Got the same setup waiting to get installed! Can I use the stock U-Bolts or will they not be long enough?

    I'll Post pics soon! :bananadance:

    This exact setup with uca is going in Monday. How is the 5/6 setup feeling? I’m putting the HS leaf pack in so was wondering how it feels without the over load in? Any issues so far?

    No issues at all! It’s a great ride on-road and without a sway bar at that.. planning an off road trip in october, so i can fill you on how it is on the off roading but i imagine it’ll be a great ride. I’m definitely happy with it!

    So if I can only afford to do one end now, should I do front or rear first? Or just buy one and wait to buy the other before install?
