That's the plan

Finished installing the beadlocks...
The TRD pro wheels are +4mm offset. For the spare, I actually need to get a definitive answer on if I can run a 255/80r17 as a spare because that should fit underneath. Ive heard some people say that the spare has to be the exact same size or it will damage components of the drivetrain because of the full-time awd system. A 285/70r17 will fit underneath but only if it’s deflated and then it can be inflated with onboard air when needed. Right now the stock spare has TPMS so if I swap it out for an un inflated tire it will trigger the dash alertI don’t really have a good solution at the moment other than investing in a rear mounted tire carrier.
Ok so that just further confirms what I've heard that anything larger than 265/70/17 will rub the track bar even when deflated. Someone said getting a 285/70/17 in place is a hassle even when deflated. Personally I think I'd go with a becky tire carrier or maybe a bumper. That said I have a second set of wheels with street tires I got cheap from a new 4runner to make it a more comfortable daily so maybe I'll just throw it in the back and call it a day.
Speaking of tire carries....I want to build something like this someday....maybe. I can’t decide if it’s a good idea or bad—probably a bad one lol.
what do you guys think?
Last one was made by Kaymar.

Down that low you’ll hate it off-road in my opinion. I would drag mine or hit it coming off rocks on 35s with it way higher than that hope this helps. Again just my opinion
True, I’m not currently planning to ditch the stock bumper but I didn’t think about the increased departure angle. I don’t anticipate doing anything too extreme with the 62 but I may be being naive. Will need a gofundme for a full Kaymar, Dobinsons, 4x4labs or 4plus rear bar
Bob was right, again
I got my new unbent axle housing on Monday from Classic Cruisers in Colorado, but then little momma diverted me to pimping out our pergola with sun shade fabric and party lights, then I got called back into work.
I got five days off coming up and the front axle build will begin followed by installation of the new OME suspension, wheels and tires.
New axle housing is on the left. It looks like it has spring perches on both sides. What’s up with that? Is that factory or a mod for spring over?

(poorly executed) homebrew spring over perches... most folks don't cut the bottom perches off when they do it.
they are just u bolt holders keeps them straight and parallel. I’ve seen them on other axles i thought they came on the newer 40’s
brakes on the Tundra. Not down to the squeakers yet but failed inspection. I have PowerStop set on order. I put a cheap set of pads on to get me throw Inspection.
I made the mistake of taking my 80 to a brake shop last year for the inspection... guess what the only issue they found was? Brakes... what a surprise.
