Had to scroll 10 pages back to find a red one posted here. I like this.

I'm picking up a 2009 red this week, or next, whenever I can down to S.D. from L.A.

 

[Tronner]

King 2.5 coilovers front, King shocks with Dobinsons 327 springs rear (have a set of 325 I may put in to lower the rear a little). In this pic there is nothing in the back but the spare tire. RRW RR2-V wheels 17x8.5 et -12. 285/75/17 Open Country AT3. LilB's BMC plates, pinch welds, Eimkeith panhard correction kit (highly recommend).

Is there a single photo of a Salsa Red with bronze wheels out there? Preferably the TRDs

Lots of help from this thread when planning my build. Dobinsons 3/2 with comfort springs. SPC UCA's and BMC. Method 316 17x8.5 0 offset. Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/70-17. I'm loving this thing.

Nice Gx473. The 295/70-17's are a good sized tire. Big enough for all around use, but not a whole bunch of compromises needed to run them. Thats what I run also.
I will guess you have some rubbing here & there. But your rig looks good overall.

You have 2.5 inch lift in the front and rear? Or what’s the lift height you chose for the rear. This is exactly how I want mine to sit.

 

[taco47001]

wheels: 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport (Had to grind calipers to fit. Not ideal.)
tires: 265/70-17 BFG K/O2 E-rated
spacers: none
Lift: Dobinsons 302 on Blistien 5100 lowest setting. Airbag trick rear on Blistien 5100

Driven 1500 miles or so. Ride is good accept for the E-rated tires. Definitely feel the weight of the tires braking and accelerating. Front sway bar is making noise now and PS link is leaking. Time for quick disconnects. Might make spacers for rear airbags. Ride is decent, but I think they would relieve stress on the over-inflated bags.

If you installed spacers would there still be a need to grind the calipers for these rims?

calipers only need to be ground down if you are trying to run a 16" rim

I was late to the GX game, driven mainly by the following 2 factors. The first being I was not brave enough to list my beloved 2002 4R for sale, we had a 16-year relationship and traveled some 1/2 million miles together. The second, was I wasn't really into the looks of the GX, it has a solid...

I finally lifted mine so the soccer mom vibe is completely gone (I hope)

LIFT
Dobinsons MRA with 352 springs up front and 327 springs in the rear
SSO coil conversion...two shims on left, one on right
Ironman Pro forged UCAs
Superpro double offset LCAs

WHEELS/TIRES
RockTrix RT107 in 18x9 -12 offset
Kenda Klever RT in 275/70/18

Great part of this combo/setup is zero rubbing with no BMC or pinch weld work. Rides like a stiffened Lexus...well worth the effort to get rid of the marshmallow feeling of the OEM setup.

That looks great! 33.43" diameter is a great size for our vehicle as well. Question - how much space do you have on flat ground from top of tire to bottom of fender front and rear?
