Still waiting on that taco invite ! I didn't have to much power with the truck to begin with so I have nothing to compare it to other than my old 3.0 4rnr. I'm still chasing issues but it's getting there. Gonna do aussie or ARB lockers next and at that point will do a gear change over......... All in good time.

Tacos !!!!!! I can do Tacos !!!!!!! And talking about Land Cruiser !!!!! I'm in !!!!! I'll leave the wife at home ........ Land Cruiser talk just boring to her.

It is the HFS 2.5" LIFT. Anything was an improvement over the flat broken spring I had on it. It rides ok but wouldn't recommend it. If I had to do it all over again I would have gone with OME.
Here is why.
1.) The front shackles have no clearance to the spring eye. The recommended fix by cool cruisers was to cut the military wrap off the spring.
2.) I have over 1.5" of lean on the driver side of the cruiser. Suggested fix by cool cruisers ( NONE). Live with it they all have it. ( Main reason as to why I had now gone with OME) their lift are mad to compensate for this lean.

for the extra $100-$200 for the OME go with it.

I am dealing from the exact same situation. The significant lean that makes me angry every time I see it. Cool Cruisers is unfriendly do deal with, so no help there. OME in the future.

I did go with the AT KO2 BFG. I had them on my Chevy and have 30 k on them with no issues (Arizona... dry as f@&k! ) 33x 10.5 x 15 for less than $600 new. Could not beat it! FJ will get less than 5k on it in a year.

Where did you find them that cheap?

I just paid $1000 for 5 installed with a rebate card and no tax.

Was gonna ask the same thing about the tires. Get them 'used but new'?

Stock wheels always look better and preserves the vehicle value better than aftermarket wheels.

If you want black wheels, just plasti-dip the stock wheels, so you (or the next owner) can revert back to the proper stock look

Super late reply, I got them on tire rack right before the holidays season. But I did keep it cheaper because I chose to get them installed by my own shop. No warranty on the tires.
