2LTE abuser
Been playing around a bit with different tires and suspension this year. Previously I've run both OME and Dobinson ~60mm lifts. Recently I came across a used unknown brand JDM 100mm lift locally for $100. Thought I'd give it a try. The Pro-comp 9000 shocks it came with were far too stiff and a bit short. So I paired the springs with new Dobinsons long travel shocks. Still have some possible tweaking to do such as maybe extending bump stops, and some longer brake lines from frame to axles. May also look at adjustable panhards. But so far very happy.
Earlier in the year I came across this tire/rim set in brand new condition completely unused for about 1/2 new price and couldn't resist. Kumho KL71 35x12.5R15 on 15x8 -27mm offset rims. With removal of front mudflaps there are no rubbing problems.
I also swapped out my super crappy solid poly caster correction bushings to some very flexible ones. This greatly improved articulation.
Truck is very daily driveable (super comfortable ride and handles fine), except my family has a hard time getting in. May source some sliders to help serve as a side step.
Factory 4.88 diffs suit 35s perfectly. Perfect rpm's on the highway now. Can't say I'd recommend for a stock 2LTE tho. Intercooled/tuned 2LTE is fine though - no power problems.
Anyhow, don't see many coiled 70's on 35s in north america, so thought I'd post some pictures.
