Seems just right, the tire size and ride height. We’ll need to see more photos, of course.
I took a couple more that day. I’ll get some in better light later this week. It’s hard to see the detail in so much blackness…

Long time viewer and owning JKU, LC150, LC200
OEM Caviar black and wrapped in Glossy Khaki Green... and left the top black.
Pics are as it sits parked at our daily site visit to our new house build.
Wrapped as keeping a black car anywhere near clean and where I'm temporarily staying with the daily site visit is a nightmare and PPF is not on the cards at the moment.

Lift - Wescott designs 2.5 preload collar (Hopefully R&D for compatible suspension with AVS in Asia become avail)
Wheels - Raceline Rogue - Machined / 18 inch with offset +35
Tires - Sailun Terramax RT / 35x12.50R18

Front wheel well rear crash plates removed
Front fender liner rubs on reverse and need to push or coax with heat gun one of these days

Holy smokes great color
 
Trim spacers are shims used to adjust the level your suspension lift provided. Some vehicles are prone to sitting slightly off level and trim packers or trim spacers let you dial in the stance.
 
I found some “anti-black” while out looking for the snow line yesterday. It helps show the stance better.

What is a “Trim Spacer”?
I found that the Peak front spacer added around 1.5” of lift and I just wanted to sneak in a small poly “trim” spacer over the rear coil to bring the back end slightly back up. Honestly I stumbled across them online and knew how easy they were to put in and take out with ease. I was curious to explore the rear suspension and decided to give it a go. At this point I’m just waiting on the OME MT64 and BP-51 systems to come out before swapping.

Does anyone know the weight of the stock 20” and 18” wheels
LC and Overtrail?

I’m trying to convince myself that lightweight aftermarket replacement wheels are justifiable through weight savings so I can sleep better at night 😎

1958 18” is 32.5
 
test fitting the wheels and tires from my 4runner, 295-70 r17 BFG MT's on -12 Fuel beast wheels. TOO MUCH POKE! and i don't have 14mm lugs to actually mount them. But this is the right size for mine with Westcott lift

After a ton of research, landed on 17x8.5 +25 318's with 285/75 C-rated ridge grapplers. Really pleased with the look. No rubbing and tracking 19.5-20mpg thus far (running 38-40psi). Really loving this truck.

ps if anyone needs 18x7.5 Factory wheels with OEM 265/70/18 ridge grapplers in SOFLA, DM me :)

Those are impressive MPGs
I might have to go Ridge Grapplers based on this data! What’s the C-?
 
275/70R18 Toyo RT Trails on stock wheels at stock height (for now, with 2” lift inbound). The RT Trails are one of the best all around tire I’ve ever run in my 40 years of offroad tire nerd experience. They are flat out amazing.







I’ll add another pic or two once I get the lift installed.
What MPG are you hitting with this setup ?
