    Oh, I know it's a low estimate lol. That not including hydro bumps or auxiliary front shocks with bypasses lol.

    Lots of money. The faster you want to go, the more it is

    We should probably keep this one on topic. @lordjuiceKage I think we need to revisit the question at hand. The issue isn't necessarily Fenders and "not 35's", the issue is fenders and no long travel. Even with 35s that extra bulge won't make sense without the long arms to really help the tire fill out all that extra width.

    Also, yes, we're going to give you shit, but that's cause we love our trucks, and we hate to see someone doing something gaudy and tasteless with the platform we all love so much.

    Correct. I don't remember where I saw the photo, but I've seen a Tacoma with the wide fenders and standard travel suspension and it looked like ass. However, even having LT, if you install 33's, it looks ridiculous. End message, OP, don't do it... unless you want to be mocked and hate your truck.

    Running 34’s and a tune, no regear. Drives great to me. Will be going to 35’s soon. I won’t be regearing. I’d say run 35’s and fenders, but do what you want, it’s your truck.

    I like what this guy has to say. It's about function over form.

    In other words accomplish the goal you wish to with the suspension. If you find that fiberglass is what is needed to fully clear under full stuff conditions, THEN do you really need it and should actually do it OP.

    Fox racing shocks,
    That’s fair, I didn’t know it was long travel setup that widened the stance so much. I have a lot more to research now. LT it ultimately what i want but right now the government does it pay me enough to get it so i haven’t looked into it as much

    Fox racing shocks,
    I also have aftermarket UCAs and Coilovers. (Cam burg UCA and Fox Coilovers and Struts) from what i understand That’s more of a Mid travel setup vs a long travel set up that replaces lower control arms, uppers and has a longer coilover. Feel free to correct me if i’m wrong, i’ve been exploring the topic for about 3 weeks now purely on my own so my idea of what people are talking about when they Long Travel or Mid travel is probably not what the picture is.

    Lmfao :rofl::rofl::rofl: man that one got me.

    OP, for what it’s worth, this is more-or-less what it CAN look like. There’s different sizes in fenders, but realistically it tends to look silly. Again, that’s the opinion of a random dude on the internet (me).
