    Thanks, bud! It's getting there.

    I just went with the stock studs. I'm a little nervous about them fitting on the F5s that I have on deck, but I'll know that soon. I know you were thinking of the Tundra upgrade a while back. Totally worth it, and super straightforward.

    The spring rate is 600, since I won't be able to afford a winch and bumper anytime soon. I will have sliders and skids, which I figured were more important if I had to choose. I'll have lift numbers soon; stock, with the Kings and stock bumper, and then with skids and sliders.

    Before and after ride height measurements, from center of hub to bottom of flare:

    Front Driver: 21.25 -> 24.0 (+2.75"!)
    Front Passenger: 20.5 -> 24.0 (+3.5"!)

    I think my stock struts were pretty tired...

    Thanks! yea im having trouble sourcing ext lugs for our trucks. I might have to find some extended shank lugnuts that will fit with my spacers. The lug nuts I have now dont have as much bite in the lug as I would like.

    I'll have to keep an eye out for that myself. I've got some 1" spacers on the way, and I assumed that they'd work with the stock length studs.

    The interim rear suspension is done! Tubbing commences once I get my spacers in. I'll update the lift numbers later.

    All-Pro Expo. I've heard nothing but good things, and since I'll be rolling with at least a bed rack, RTT, and a full size spare, it made sense. When I sat on the tailgate, it dropped maybe an inch, if that, and I'm 225.

    Ah word, makes sense. I plan on going with Dakars because I won't have an RTT for a very long time sadly.

    Also the tires and wheels look good dude! What are your plans for the fenders?

    Haha! So did I bro. So did I...

    Thanks, man! I finally got a weekend off, and it came together!

    Thanks, Mike! I think you'll really like the Dakars, and you can always add their overload once you get your RTT. The only thing I've heard about those is the squeaking, but I've seen a bunch of stuff on here for fixing that.

    I'm still waiting on my spacers, but I'm going to get moving on the firewall tubbing anyway. Tonight I'll pull the fenders and see what I'm working with. I really like what Rob did with his flares, and I'd like to do something similar; maybe get some black oxide socket head screws and washers to mount them up.

    Anyway, the front is first. Gonna borrow some cut down stock bumps from @TimF to buy myself some margin, then I'll be running Super Bumps. Can't wait to get started! My buddy with the welder is chomping at the bit to burn in the sheet metal!

    Nice work. Just saw your wheels / tires pics on the CO BS thread. Good luck with the tub & re-gear project! :thumbsup:

    Final ride height numbers with Expos and the King 2.5 coilovers set to 1-1/8" of threads showing:

    - Front Driver:
    24.0 (+2.75")

    - Front Passenger:
    24.0 (+3.5")

    - Rear Driver:
    25.50 (+3.5")

    - Rear Passenger:
    25.50 (+3.75")

    I'll get compression and droop numbers after the tubbing.
