    Sleazeball Pete's got the Bushwackers - and mighty nice they look.

    There is also this alternative, which someone discussed on the 5-lug facebook group the other day. About 2/3's as expensive as the Bushwackers.

    You might want to place an advert in the 2nd gen classified here for a WTB advert - i'm sure someone has them kicking around, after replacing their OEM's on their Mall-rated Rig, with Bushwackers.

    That's a good question - and i think you are correct - i think there might be a difference in the bumper cover used between the clean-fender base Tacomas, and the models using the factory fender flares.

    That aspect never really clicked with me until now - having an ARB replace the stock bumper - it works with, or without the flares.

    One of the local members here did this work on a 5 lug for a customer. Thought it was pretty cool.

    So you have a Readylift spacer in the front and no AAL or shock upgrade in the back? Did you install it yourself?

    I actually went with the FatBob's spacer up front and correct, nothing in the back. One of my buddies put it on for me. From what I understood, it's a simple install I just didn't have time. ReadyLift also has a video of it being installed on YouTube.

    Does the ass end sag at all? Your truck looks great and I am strongly considering just leveling it but DO NOT want that Carolina lean

    It sags a little, but not overbearing whatsoever. It's not noticeable to most, but to me it is being that I walk out to it everyday. Appreciate it! :thumbsup:

    Getting new tires soon. I'm keeping the stock 15" steelies. I'm deciding between 235x75r15 and 30x9.5r15 tires. These are my deciding factors:

    1. Will the 30x9.5r15s still fit on the stock wheels?

    2. Will the 30x9.5r15s rub without black box mod?
