What size tires?
WOW, that is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
more pics please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any rubbing issues? that looks soooooo badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys. I'm I shock how big it is. No rub at all. Full lock to lock and nothing, notta. Over all I'm very freaking happy with it and it fits in my garage.
Glorious! Congrats and enjoy!
more pics please, I'm having withdrawals!
I'll get some photos posted on here in the next day or so. The ride is more responsive than the stock ride. I haven't changed the Icon CDCV's settings as of yet (four all corners are still at the factory setting / level 4 out of 10). I do have before and after measurements so you can go out in the garage, crack a open a beer and grab your tape measure to get a feel for what this looks like - so far phone photos just don't capture it. It is a major change.
Before: stock with OE 18"s and 285/65/18 Mich's
LF - 33 5/8
RF - 33 7/8
LR - 36
RR - 35 9/16
After: Not stock with TRD 17"s and 35/12.5/17 Nitto's - deep tread
LF - 38 13/16
RF - 38 15/16
LR - 39 7/8
RR - 40 7/16 - I wonder if the rear springs were reversed during install (OME 722 there's an A and a B) or is that within the range? - someone?
These were taken from the concrete garage floor and measured up to the bottom lip of the wheel wells. And these DO include the tire (which has tread deep). I'll take it back in a few weeks after things settle down, get my alignment checked and take these measurements again - to share.
The top of the driver seat (where you sit - not the back rest) is now measuring 40". I'm leaving the factory running boards on until I replace with sliders. This is a big Clydesdale.
The front top of my roof rack is now 78"+
The rear top of my roof rack is now 80"+
The Nittos hum but not howl on the road. On the highway at 70 mph the rpms were around 1800.
Gas mpg was reading 12-14 and 0 on take off from a dead stop. Not sure how the new tire size and the calibration of the rig feed into that mix.
Thanks
Looks awesome Willie. Those trail grapplers sure are heavy suckers eh! Not great in the mud I'd have to say, but more than ok on road as you have noted, brilliant on trail and the cool factor is just off the chart.
I see a Nitro 4.88 gear reduction in your future, Grasshopper.

You should check your speed and miles travelled with a handheld GPS. Those tires are going to throw off your speedometer. MPG numbers will also be off, so best to calculate at fill-up using GPS miles, not ODO miles.

Thank you. What is your suggestion on air pressure?

I called my tire guy today and ordered a set of 35 Trail Grapplers.
I'll call Slee today or tomorrow and order the KDSS relocation brackets.
If all goes according to plan, I should be in Willy's shoes in 2 weeks or so.
EDIT: The brackets have been ordered as well.

That's an easy one: Cold Tire Air Pressure for the 35X12.50R17LT tires is 33psi F/R
