Are you worried about it being too tall on the trailer with the 40's under it? If it was m e I would run it with the 40's and just move it a little bit closer to the tongue.
Run it with the 40s. Fill them up and you'll be fine. When towing Russ' jeep we would throw a rachet strap over it to minimize side to side movement.

Started this project 2 years ago, we decided to finally finish it.
Hired Bette's brother to get it done! Looking forward to relaxing
out there with a beer!

Yeah but he's missing a door so it's kinda a wash.
He took the door off because there was too much fumes coming through the hole in the floor.

Wow. Randy the truck looks good. Whats the color.

It's a stock Toyota color: 6H9 and we added a lot of flattener to give it a satin finish.
I swear I have seen so many pics of that color and it changes color depending on which light you are in.
Hows the shackle angle look? I know that when I was at Wallys it looked a little towards the front. I only question because I have the same frame and lift. Any chance you could take some pics for me and pics of where the wheel sits in the wheelwell?

It's amazing how that color changes with the light.
I am researching the rear springs now. They are new OME springs for the 45/47, but look at the shackle angle. It's not even close and I think the springs are too short. Every OME lift I've seen on a troopy ends up this way which seem odd. Maybe the springs settle a lot? Dunno, will let you know what I find out over on the 45 section.
The wheel is positioned well within the opening, it's just the shackle angle I don't get.

Thanks good to know. "new OME springs for the 45/47" is what I have too. I might take out the extra leaf before install them hoping that it will level it out a little. It looks good with the 33s

I may take out a leaf or two as well and add air bags. Most of the time I'll be riding around with it empty but plan on hauling and towing as well. We'll see what the shackle angle looks like after seats, roll cage, bumpers, sliders and hard top are on.
