4x4 trd prior to 5100 install I took some measurements

To the OP...your lift looks great man! Congrats!!!

 

To you and Hellrazor....thank you! Man Im loving these tires! These tires REALLY make this lift POP

I'll try to capture better angles/lighting as the week passes. It really looks even much better in person!

Yeah i'm real jealous right now. That my friend is a nice looking ride.!

 

Congrats just did mine today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!! Took me and a buddy 6 hours goffing around in the drive way looks bad A$$ And rides like a truck should ride!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Awesome truck! I just got my Icons installed from Downsouth too. I love them so far. I got the same tires as you on order but i went with 18" Monsters instead. How is the ride with the tires?

 

My Trail Grapplers are 18s

 

nice truck! but I wanna see some real pics... of that supra please!!!!

 

How do the Trail Grapplers run?

 

haha, well to play by the "rules", i would have to post them in a different section

 

Okay i just now checked and rechecked again - and again.
I have exactly 1.25in threads showing on both coilovers.

And my left side is 22 3/4in from center of wheel to bottom of fender flare.
My right side is 23in from center of wheel to bottom of fender flare.

My mechanic told me the coilover instruction sheet said they were preset for 2in....while my memory was telling me 2.5in.
I never got around to calling Downsouth on Fri about all this to clear up any confusion on my part.

 

The TRAIL grapplers are NOT loud at all right now. They are a very tame hum at low speeds and on highway.
At low speeds (anywhere below 20/30mph), it feels like im riding on snow cables (same sensation, but instead with a rubber feel of course). Im not sure if ALL MT's feel that way or not, but the MTs on my friends tacoma did also.

On the highway (60-80mph), the front tires have my steering wheel dance slightly to the right and left, but not actually pulling to right or left. I find myself holding the wheel more consciously now. Im guessing its because of the wide contact patch on the fronts - nearly 12in wide on these 285s (285/65/18). I know that with supras riding on about 275s on FRONT, they get "bump-steer".....im thinking this is the effect im feeling on the truck with the wider footpring up front.

I love these tires so far! I slept on which tire to buy for 12months......I dont think i could have picked a better looking tire! Not to mention, Nitto says these have more AT characteristics than most other MTs Again, just a slight hum at worst with these And if they do get louder, i dont think it will be overly loud since they're sorta quiet now to begin with.

 

There dose not seem to be to much downtravel Feels like the front falls off the bumbs... And no uniball that is the ball joint kind

 

They do seem to be a littel stiff i was hoping the would soften a bit and if they dont i will just have to play around with the ajustment... I just took a measuerment and i got 1 and 3/4 of thread showing.. When we put them on the front just looked low so we raised them...
