Anyone have a photo of this setup? I'm wondering if it'd look unbalanced running 31" tires. Also interested in riding impressions for on road and mild offroad. thanks.
 
I have set a couple up for some buddies. IMO they are the only kit I would use. or atleast my first choice. They ride like a suspension geared more toward offroad, firmer. I like the ride of them. It feels sportier.

Unless things have changed, you are still on your own for lifting the front. I sugest BJ spacers and matching OME shocks.

Ill see if I have some pics of them.
 
*Definitely go with some 1" BJ spacers, with 1.5" you tend to not have as much room to adjust the alignment, and why I went down a 1/2" smaller and left my torsion bars alone. Also with just using 1" spacers, you simply "massage" the back of the a-arm pocket and do not need to cut out any material. :D

I am running 2" over stock, the link to my build is in my signature below with plenty of pics, specs, etc. It is slightly different parts sourced, but same deal and I'm still on 31's, I just need to order up a new set of shocks.

I have considered 32's or 33's but it would be at the expense of new gearing, mileage, and tire availability in Mexico if I blew one out. (31's are the most popular size around.) 31's work fine unless you're going seriously hardcore or getting into crawling. Money was well spent IMHO. Do it.. their kit is the whole reason I did something similar, and would do all over again also, I love how it makes the 2nd Gen Runner more capable.
