lift options for fj
has any one seen this lift kit yet ?
http://www.truxxx.com/toyota_product...r_Lift_Kit.htm
anyone ever dealt with this manufacturer yet ?
im planning on using 33x12.5x18 (toyo m/t) wheel and tire package, when i talked to central 4wd about the revtek lift , they said the 33's will rub , when i test fitted the wheel and tire package at les schwebs, we couldnt find any rubbing, and that was without a lift. there was not very much room where the tire and strut assembly are at their closest point. a bulging tire may make contact though. anyone have any idea why the 33's do rub then.
i will soon be able to do the lift kit and wheel and tires for my fj and dont want to end up getting a lift or wheel/tire combo that ill have to redo.
id rather get the donahue or all pro lift , except that they are extremely pricey.

I think when the time comes to lift my future FJC, I will do it with coils/shocks.
Many swear by the Revtek spacers though.
I would be carrying extra weight up front as in a winch and custom bumper.
Here though you can see a video shot at Revtek a few nights back with many from the fjcruiserforums testing out an FJC with the kit.

Check out all of the blue rigs.
Seems to be the popular color fro Oregon.
