Dam!!!! now I'm really jelaous... pretty clean and nice truck you have there, the lift looks more than 4inches.. and I think the tires are 35's.

:cheers:
 
35x12.50x17 , I haven't wheeled it much so I can't accurate say how bad they rub.
 
L:eek::eek:ks awesome. Like the black wheels.

Which Unique wheels did you end up getting? 17"? What is the backspacing? Room to go higher on the backspacing?
 
Looks great, hows the ride?
 
NocalFJ60 - Wheels are 17x8 / 297 series - custom ordered through discount tire with 3" back spacing I bought 6 (2 spares baby!) They clear the calipers which was a shot in the dark. I'll probably run spacer eventually if I upgrade calipers. Maybe 2.75 I have yet to see how well they stuff in the there.

Splitshot - Well it's better than the spongy stock springs that where on there. Have yet to give it a proper break in.

Motoloco - Yes, 4.88's and inprocess of sending my steering pump and gear box to westtexasoffroad to get moded for Hydro assist.
 
Very nice, love that blue!
 
Thanks guys!
It's been about year and half since i got it, decided it's finally time to posted it out there. The new paint really helps make it look good though.
 
did you end up having the lengthen your drive shafts to run the SR? How was the install and what lessons learned do you have after installing?

I am thinking of doing the same install and woudl value your insights.

The front shaft did need to be lengthen. The rear shackles are monsters and the triangle hits the exhaust tip. The main thing is make sure you get all the parts in the kit. I got screwed a few times and check that each one is the same and what you need. Don't just assume that there's plenty of bushings (but there should be). If remember more hurdles I post up but feel free to ask away.

So what springs: OME 2-1/2" & the MAF-supplied front shims?

Yeah I think it has the heavy/med setup, how can I tell and yes it came withe the shims for the front axle. I also did their ubolt flip kit.

And you also need to extend your diff. breather lines.

Here's the kit description:
