    The spacers didn't look as bad as I expected. :D
    I ran 1" spacers up front to avoid the frame rubbing but left the back tires alone. You can hardly tell the width difference.

    The bigger tires actually make the front bumper look better IMO. Looked a little front heavy with those smaller tires. It's more proportionate now...

    Looks awesome man, much better stance with the big tires!! Nice work!

    Have you thought about running fender flares? If you did, they would "tuck" the tires in further which would allow you to run the spacers again if you really wanted to.

    This is true. :cool: Which means Ben thinks a PreRunner (w/ e-locker) is as good as an open diff 4x4???? :eek: :cool:

    And I agree, Monte. A good driver is better than (or maybe equal too a locker. (BUT, open diffs can't beat a good driver w/ a locker.......) :cool:

    And, Ben--from now on I shall refer to your truck as 3x4 until you get a front locker. :cool:

    Looks great man, the 33s really do make the bumper more in place on the truck.

    Hey hey hey, I have no locker and I seem to do fine:D

    Talk to lisa, I'm pretty sure she has the jungles and she had some problems with them denting in and cracking. I'd go with jr and get bushwackers, its what I am sorta lookin into when I get new wheels.
