My name’s J... been working on my truck as much as I can. Went Hutchinson beadlocks 17x8.5 , toyo 35x12.50 17 mt... pretty happy but feeling remorse for not going 37x13.50 17’s. Guy’s at th shop we’re working at telling me I needed a lot more work don before an I agreed yet; two inch body lift an my goal would have been reached.. pro’s it’s Crazy an Crazy but I don’t see many this way... anyone know or see this madness happen.. to control some of the power lag, Trd super charger was installed, Trd cold air an Trd exhaust. Anyone see the magnuson super charger at work.. just wondering.. con’s never use after market cv joints.. I just went through 3 and it was a learning lesson, Also kind of hard to tighten the outside clamp from spraying grease everywhere.. next time I’ll find or hunt OEM factory boot tightened cv joints... plus so far the guys that work at Toyota of Escondido an lake Forest area “Irvine” have helped out a lot with pointer’s to complete a few projects. Very thankful.. when they see the 100 their stooked an enjoy checking the rig out. Also I hand picked my lift an went with Fox shocks, make sure there loop to pin.. in front an that replaced my old man emu’s which I did like an great comfortable ride.. I used the rear suspension that fox offers for the rear in the front.. I’m cheating alittle.. Then went with the loop to pin 105 series in the rear.. now I have to put them on.. old man emu heavy spring’s yet I noticed they seem to be very close to the stock springs height.. after over looking the lift I’m only get 1.5-mayb 2 overall.. was the body lift a easier option.. or combined.. has anyone tried the 50mm longer travel cv joints ? Old man emu torsion bars, seem to be the same.. definitely going second battery under the hood an air compressor somewhere, I like the viair 400 179$ yet, ARB 500$ run air lockers front an rear... ok an last but not least the differential drop kit look’s to be the same as what I took off.. just lighter.. the 513lb is heavy for tire an rims.. thanks jATTACH=full]1623030[/ATTACH]

its really hard to read your post, what are you saying about the suspension?
use some spaces between sentances and lines between thoughts so more people will read and give you advice! I think almost everyone here would tell you to keep CVs OEM
I think you should be happy you went with 35s and not 37s - you will already be wearing out the cv axles and the ring and pinion faster with 35s vs stock.

2000 100 series 270k
So far the Fox shocks an Nitro upper control arm’s are working well together...
using the 105 series front fox 2.0 was a gamble but workout nicely..
the 35 inch Toyo MTs have great traction an low hum on the interstate.. mud/dirt an trail, great tire.. snow was lots of fun an it’s hard to make the truck to brake out of traction.. a blast in the mountains so far
Hutchinson 17x8 150 spacing are nice alittle heavy but super solid an bulletproof..
Trying Dyno bead’s for the first time an putting the wheel’s together.. 30 minutes each wheel.. preweighted the dyno beads an dumped the bag out in each tire after center invert was in..
Only problem is at 70 mph an hitting a bump the will bounce alittle an on corner turning alittle shady at 80mph.. otherwise save the money an order dyno beads an save 400$ that the 4x4 center was going to charge..
Hope everyone has happy trails
