Cranking the torsion bars changes ride height only. Most think it stiffens the ride, this is not true since diameter of the torsion bar dictates the ride quality. The change in ride quality is due to the control arms sitting at a more horizontal position. When going over expansion joints and small bumps they have to push further outwards before they can travel upwards. If that makes any sense.

it will feel like you are in a buckboard covered wagon if you max them out....

That does make sense. It feels counterintuitive, but I'll buy it.

Well, I made a typo. The higher the front end is, the more vertical the control arms sit. Sorry For the mistake. I just caught it, I haven't slept in 72 hours and running off energy drinks right now.

Just turn up the torsion bars a little and go with some 295s. You will me mall ready in no time!

Way too much bling on those tires!

Agreed! This one made me do a double take. It looks exactly like my rig, but it's not mine. I can't afford a shine like that.

Has anyone ever had any luck selling tires to get another set? I'm now thinking of selling my Michelins to get 285s.

LTrain0800,
Where did you get those front mud flaps? Are they just re-purposed rears, or do they make a front flap? Just joking around about the shine BTW.

Thanks,
Kevin

There are 100-specific front mud flaps. Contact Dan at American Toyota, or Onur at Larry H. Miller Toyota. They're both in Albuquerque, and they're sister dealers. Amazing OEM parts pricing for 'MUD members and great customer service to go along with it!

 

[LTrain0800]

Hey Kevin, no problem on the shine comments... the car wash puts some cray shiny stuff on them. The mud flaps are from Dan, see the post above. If you get them I would suggest chasing the threads for the mounting bolts before you mount them up.

Great resource. Thanks for the info!

If I go 285's will the spare still fit under the truck?

Yes, will definitely fit 33 inch spare with no problems.

What Greg said. I have 275/70-18 BFG AT's which measure 33.25 inches and the spare fits with the OEM hitch. It's tight, but it fits.
