Nice! Lookin badass! Things gunna be a monster with those Detroits and the 4.7's when you get em installed!

 

They don't clear until they clear at full turn, but it's lookin good!

 

Actually the Detroits are installed but the 4.7 isn't yet.

 

Thanks I guess!?!?!

 

I really like this idea. Wheel spacers will probably help with side hill stability. I'd like to see flex pics with spacers on. This is a great idea - ground clearance but keeping the belly low to the ground. Where does your frame to ground measure out at?

 

I have 1.50 wheel spacers currently on my rig. It has great side hill stability. I'll mesure out the ground clearance sometime and let you know.



I personally wouldn't want to go any wider. Maybe do some 37X13.50R15's instead of 37X12.50R15's down the road.

 

Your front right spring hanger looks crooked? Is it just the picture?

 

I wouldn't park over that oil stain. Depreciates your truck.

 

Just the picture

 

Actually it's not oil. I had a fuel injector leaking but don't you worry now because I fixed it so that there wouldn't be anymore pictures like that one.

 

It's still got the 87 motor I just fixed the wiring.

This is how I moved the axle forward (haven't braced it yet)

I was amazed at how well the wheels cleaned up.

 

Are you going to paint the wheels black too?

 

Not planning on it

 

i dont know if i missed it but did you have to modify the steering when pushing the axle forward, got any pics of this if so

 

My 37s rub on the fenders at full lock and stuff and I have about 7in of lift (They are also 13 inches wide on a 10 inch wheel)!!! Eventually I am going to tub the fire wall a bit so I can clear!!!

And for those of you wondering, my truck is actually pretty stable on off camber situations, I think its the tire width/ marlin springs, because you cannot move them by bouncing on the bumper in the front, but they will flex like no other...and I dont even think they settled that much!!

Looking good though, I would like to do something like this on my next project toyota!!!

 

doesn't look like your getting very much flex out of those stock springs.

nice job on the trim and paint though!

 

Awsome job bud that thing looks SICK and as said before you did an awsome job on the fenders.

 

Do you have any pics of the inside of the rear fenders after you cut them? I need to cut mine to gain additional uptravel but would like to see how others have done it first.
