Nice. So stock springs and spacers in the front?

Those 305's do you very meaty. It looks like you still have room to spare or is that just an illusion?

Do you also have close-up pics of the sliders? I want to see the difference before and after the body lift.

Thanks.

Those rims give a nice stance. Do you know what the backspacing is?

Great work!!!

I think it would look sweet if you painted those rims black! I was just looking at the ones 1985 4runner did and they look nice. You should do that!

they barely shine up, there is a thick layer of grime on them (i guess drew rarely washed em! )

so i think, after about 10 mins of scrubbing and seeing no bling, that painting may happen.

I thought a 1" body lift wouldnt give you that much of a gap in the frontbumpers? Isnt there a way to adjust the bumper vertically?

to be completely honest, that was the last thing we did after a long and tiring day so im not gonna say we tried hard to raise it, but it is firmly in and aligned... so i dont know how or what to do to raise it further, but if that includes modding the brackets, i think ill just deal w/ the gap.
