    Welcome! I'm in SD as well. I have the Toytec Ultimate lift kit...coilovers up front and an add-a-leaf in the rear.

    Even after trying to provide more clearance for my 285/75-16's (33's), they still rub on the frame at full lock.

    Thanks man!

    With my wheel specs the rear tires slightly rub on the inner part of the fender flare at full tuck. I suspect that when you're towing you shouldn't go that low in the rear. Make sure your rear leaf springs can handle whatever it is you plan to tow.

    This is actually my first lifted truck. I've also had my fair share of import cars (mainly Honda's). Most were work cars but a few I fixed up. So I guess I was/am a ricer too then? Haha!

    Cool, no problem man!

    Sounds good. Post up some before and after pics.

    Kind of miss my old CRX at times (owned from 2003-2009):

    7-20-08_06_01b3a9a2d8101d9005dd19841fe644ffa87d55f3.jpg

    This is my current S:
    cc_6-22-14_20_zps953a45fd_6db2a00a6218801d55d1cc217e8ad2e0e9acb29d.jpg

    Always wanted an EK with the SiR bumpers, but I'm leaning towards classics now. I just hate dealing with smog. That's why I'm not touching the S. It's basically going to stay the way it is in the pics.
