sbly,
No mate, all is working well.
Reported broken CV's are more a TC induced issue, spinning the 35's has been ok to date, they are on the ground more so less TC input in any case
What would it REALLY take to fit 35's under the LC200? (2 Viewers)

ballsbygm,
Good to hear the truck is doing well. I saw the article about your truck and have been keeping an eye on it at lcool.
JB,
What are you going to do with your stock rims? By any chance do you remember how tall your truck was with the OME suspension and 275/75R18 tires?

I will be posting them for sale if anyone is interested. I do not recall how tall I was with the OME suspension...but I still barely fit in my garage. With this new size, I may have to air down a bit to fit for working on it.

I didn't think anyone made tires in that size...

You are right...mine are currently 275/70R18. I'm going to a 285/75R17.

We sell the Icelandic flare kit you see on the "Extreme Range" LC200 in dubai. With a mild lift, It allows you to run the 17" Arctic Truck wheels with 35" Pro Comp Tires. The opening of the fender arches allows the wider track width. We sell the complete conversion as a package. Currently we are working on a lift for the LX570 that allows the retention of the factory adjustable suspension. Email us directly for more info and or pictures.

The Nitto in 285/75/17 is the perfect size for most toyotas.. I have gotten about 50k miles on my TG's and still have 8/32s.
I wish they just weren't so heavy.

One thing I've noticed that has not been addressed regarding the fitting of 35" tires is lift.
What kind of lift and how high are those of you that have 35" tires using?
Is it off the shelf OME or???
Do you ever need a body lift with the 200? Or with the front coil and rear coils (I believe that is what the 200 has...) one can get enough suspension lift.
To fit 35" BFG M/T's on my 100 I did the full 2.5 suspension lift, BIOR diff drop, upper control arms and built my own 1.75" body lift. Not a hint of rubbing in any condition.

Look at our tire size sticky. It's has a lot of info listed in there.

Yup. It seems 2.75" or greater of lift is needed; the more the better. I am accomplishing that (~3.25") with my Ironman lift, and most others are doing so with an Icon lift (3.6").

I went and looked at Ironman, Icon and Slee and the most one can get in suspension height is from Icon. They have a kit for a 0-3" adjustable suspension which is close but not quite 3.25"-3.6". Al the others are only 2".
Did you (or do others) add spacers to the springs? Or perhaps have longer springs made by a spring manufacturer like Deaver Springs in Santa Ana, CA. (I've used Deaver before and they build some good springs!).
One other thing, I'm assuming if one is going to lift high enough for 35" tires, at least upper control arms are necessary, if not both upper and lower control arms, along with a differential drop kit, correct?

from my experiance the 2 inch lift(50mm) from both Ironman and OME is a bit more than two inches with no spacers added... must be a very conservative number on their part.... I would guess more like 2.5 up front and 3 in the back, just rough numbers!
Yeah, if you notice the Aussie rigs sit higher, atleast in the rear. I got stock height king rear springs for my 200 and it currently sits slightly higher than a stock gcc spec cruiser in the rear (maybe like 2 cm higher or so -on par with the Aussie rigs )
Any running Kings /Res and the 700 pounds springs? If so how much lift are you getting with out too much preload? Thanks!
