please get some new wheels and bigger tires. lol

 

nice! what are your plans for wheels and tires? how long did the install take?

 

im trying to post my finish pics now.. lol wasnt expecting quick replies.. hold on lol

 

x2, Looks good

 

k re did the post.. the lift took us about a day and a half.. took too much breaks installing the lift.. i put on 33"/12.5"/17" baja claw radial tires with 17"/9" pro comp 6001 wheels.. i might run 35"s.. the 33"s look kinda small..

 

yea i love my 35''s but im running like 7.5 inches of lift up front

 

i've seen tacos running 35"s on 6" lifts.. does the frame need some fabbing for the 35"s to clear?

 

naw they rub the body mount a bit but i chopped mine and welded some plate in i dont rub at all now

 

can you run 16" rims with a 6" lift? ive read that you cant but i was curious. my rims are 16x8 with a 4.5 backspacing

 

nope i dont think so

 

You can, however, you may rub the cab mount (depending upon tire size) and not get full lock to lock wheel turning (due to rim hitting the knuckle.) I am running a 6" lift with factory off Road rims on my truck. I threw on some spidertrax spacers and have had no issues at all.

Randall your truck looks nice man! I have the same truck as you except indigo ink (dark blue) I like how there are three other tacos in the front yard in your first pic. Classic HI Life. All my buddies have Tacomas as well.

 

Only if you run wheel spacers. The 16" rims can't clear the tie rod.

 

yeah.. you need to order at least a 1.25 inch wheel spacer (only on the front end) to clear the tie rods.. thats why i'm able to mount and run my stock wheels tires..

 

are the spacers still on? with the new wheels?

 

nope.. i have 17" wheels soo i have no need for having the spacers.. i bought the 1.25 inch spyder trax spacers.. 2 for the front wheels.. they cost like 100$

 

how much tire you got sticking out of the fenders? im gonna go up to 4" later and im probably gonna run 33s, i like that bulldog look, but no so much where i get hassled by the cops. looks like you got a good amount of tire outside the wells.

nice work!

 

there we go. lol. looks much better

 

thanks. im gonna stick with the billet grille for now.. might go 35" on the tires once these 33"s run low..

 

This pic gave the impression of "what the hell did we get ourselves into?" look..That's awesome to have friends that will lend a hand for 2 days. Nice work!
