Morning guy -

Put about 150 miles on the truck since we got all of the suspension worked on. It looks like the front has lowered a solid 2.5” since install. Is that just a case of the shocks settling? Or is it a torsion bar thing?

The front is rubbing and bottoming out like a mofo. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks in advance
post pics. shocks dont determine ride height. Springs do.

Ok here are some pics –

Looks like it's hitting the washer fluid reservoir and maybe the pinch weld mods. Probably need to push those back more or cut more out.

I'll take it back to the shop and have them crank the torsion bars more. The distance from fender to center hub is 19.5 right now.

Middle point of drivers side fender. Wondering if I dented this when going over a bump? I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance for any help
 
You should be closer to 21.5-22" front hub to fender.

My guess would be your torsion bars need to be reindexed.

Love the wheels you chose, btw. Really unique and cool looking design to them and awesome that they give the stance you've got without spacers.

I'm taking it in tomorrow to have the torsion bars reindexed. Thanks for the intel. And yeah those wheels worked out pretty great. Wasn't sure if I understood backspacing/offset, so I just took a shot in the dark.
 
I installed the TBs in my '00 LC but had my local shop install the new lift in my new '05 LX. With the aftermarket TBs in there, you should be able to hit 21.5-22" hub to fender with lots and lots of adjustment left over at the bolt. Basically, if indexed correctly, you could jack the front end to the moon if you wanted to (you shouldn't)

Good luck!
 
The stock wheels have a +60mm offset (i.e. the centerline of the wheel is sucked in 60mm from the mounting surface). Most folks go with ~30mm or 1.25" spacers which brings the centerline of the wheels towards the mounting surface by 30mm... for an effective wheel offset of +30mm.

Your wheels, I believe have 0 offset.... which is the equivalent of a 60mm wheel spacer. To make those work, you'll probably need either a body lift, smaller diameter tires, more trimming, custom fenders or some combination of those... and your washer bottle addressed.

Confirmed for all of these. haha. I will get to work and keep you guys posted
 
Black ages so well. So Sexy
 
^^^ Black don't crack!... it just scratches easily.
True, glad I have a white LC, really hides all the pinstripes on it.
 
Wheels fit with no spacers?

Any luck getting these wheels to fit better? I have the same ones and I think they stick out too far and are contacting the fenders when compressed. Love these wheels and the stance but I dont see how I can make these work on my LX... Might have to sell these....
 
gonna bump this thread, @Ryan Smith how are these wheels working out?
 
I ended up swapping out my wheels. The offset was too much, they were rubbing on the fenders under compression. If anyone is looking for a set of these wheels in bronze for a 5 lug tundra, I have a set for sale.

Any pictures with wheels on the lx? Lift?
