So once I get the last used tire in the mail, I will get em mounted and try to sell my stock tire wheel combo to offset the costs....

I like "no lift"... Now she just needs susp/ front end work like tercel, and alt or batt...

 

[Mackadocious916]

My tire doesn't come until 5/17/18, so I looked and saw this....
Dont know if spacers are needed, but mine will have more tread with knobbies, and should look great...

Thats gonna be a sweet looking setup with the later model wheels. Does it need the front end work or do you just want to tighten it up to your liking?

Would be cool to do a snall 2-3" lift at the same time so I can align and then get it all done in one feel swoop, but as always $$$....

I seen taco and just had to read

Suspension/steering parts arent too pricey. I can see just doing it all and not having to worry about it.

 

[Mackadocious916]

Yeah. It would be easier to do it all at once....

So I saw this late last night and couldn't resist... I have one tire coming the 17th but wanted to put it all together....

I see some people say you have to run these, and other say no need...hopefully not.. The suspensionI stuff and alignment will add up....

I havent lifted mine any, and would prefer not to cut the fenders, but we will see.... I hope to get em mounted and balanced on the wheels before work tonight...

 

[Mackadocious916]

So this is the why... Pass and driver rear about 20%... Front are about 50%
