Biggest problem you can run into is if the axle is pulled too far to the passenger side under full droop causing the drive shaft to make contact with the gas tank skid plate.
Thanks for that 4crawler. I will do this when I get the truck running.

Oh ok, I didn't notice that. So your e-brake line is ok at full droop?

So far from what little flexing ive done I haven't had any problem with the e-brake line, but if I do come across any problems I'll let you know.

A little up-date on the tires. The KM2s are back ordered in the size i want every where around here so i decided to go with 33X12.50R15 and I was wondering if a 15X8 rim with a 4in backspacing look ok and have minor rubbing or should i put them on the stock rims?

If you're gonna get new rims, have you considered 255/85R16? A little taller and a little narrower than the 33x10.50's.

Regardless, the 12.50's will look fine on an 8" rim with 4" BS. I'd be surprised if you had much if any rubbing with that setup.

Ya i did but I can get 15" rims for a little bit cheaper so you know always trying to save some money. But I think im going to get the 33X12.50R15 in the Firestone Destination M/T or the Cooper SST. Idk yet still looking around

I may be biased because of how anal PA is about keeping your tires under fender and the fact that fender flares just seem to make rusty Toyotas even more rusty, but if I was doing a 33"-ish diameter tire, I would be looking at something 10.50-ish wide.

Wanna save some bucks? Look on craigslist. There's a set of 5 33x10.50 AT's on my local one for $250 right now.

Just my 2 cents - buy what you want - truck looks great!

Runner looks great. My goal by the end of the year is to get mine sittin like that.

I wonder if 32s would look funny. What gears do you have in the rear?

So I was able to take her out today with the new lift ( but still no new tires ). But I was going to a local little mud spot (one of many me and a friend started around home), but when i got there their was the huge tracked tank like object, upon walking up to I notice a winch on the front and seats in the back. And im about 6 foot 1 and these tracks came up to mu check, so I was able to get some pictures of this "MarshMaster".




And i also got some more pictures of here with the new hella 500 lights and some of her flexing out the rear
Enjoy!






And then fishing out the day with some good old fishing up at a local little lake with the kayak
