    Found some TRD trail team wheels for a steal. 285/75/16 KM2's. Eventually I'll go back to Duratracs or Cooper Discoverer. Might wheel spacer it out since there's less back spacing than the 17" Revolvers

    Whats good Mike!

    Wondering did you trim your Airflow down or not? Also might be a pita but roughly how much higher is the top of the Snorkel than the hood?

    Thanks

    No I didn't have to trim it at all.
    And I can measure but since I have the pre-cleaner with a rubber piece in between the filter and snorkel part it can be adjusted up or down a few more inches

    Got rid of the ToyTec Coils and rear OME nitro shocks to this

    OME BP-51

    Thanks @ToyTec Lifts for shipping these too me and great customer service from Doug.

    Also a huge thanks to @velillen to helping with the install!

    These have the option to adjust height plus compression and rebound. They were factory settings for 2.5" of lift and adjusted for a bumper and winch. So far they're good there.

    The rear had a relocation bracket to move the shock about an inch so the rock guard could fit. The compression and rebound was set for a rear bumper and accessories as well.
