I Like them but they are a little too blingy for me. I like them more when they are duller and more of a brushed aluminum look than chrome. Maybe it's just the flash on the camera though.

Maybe give some feedback to Wabbit to mention the need for the shock mounting tabs when ordering the flip kit.
I was close lol!!! And yeah i agree, i like a more subtle looking rim. I'm going to get these powdercoated gunmetal with a yellow lip once i get some money lol. And in real life they aren't nearly as shiny, the camera lies.

And yeah i think i'm going to shoot Wabbit an email and mention that.

I'm getting off now, time to lift the rear!

Did you get the U-bolt flip done? Sorry I never thought to mention the lower shock mounts, I am planning on welding some from TG or Sky on top of the rear axle tubes.

BJ spacers, add-a-leafs, new shocks all around, u-bolt flip kit, and welded new bottom shock mounts to the rear axle.

I made my own and welded them on the axle.

Like i said earlier, i can't put the wheels on because the lug nuts are not meant for the Outlaw I wheels, i need special lugs. Well i could put them on i just cant drive anywhere with my truck then lol.

And yeah i guess people like my 4Runner lol

The truck leans to one side pretty noticeable, i'm assuming the alignment shop can just crank the t-bar to make it even? Also it pulls super hard to that side, i'm assuming from the lean lol.

RIGHT ON, BRIAN! Yeah, I want some pics.... s'all good though, who cares what I want if it'll make your wheels fall off, right? hahaha. Anxious to see though.

Far as the lean, it's mandatory for alignment to follow Spacers and other things...which you obviously know already, lol.... But alignment is done a lil differently than just torquing the T-bars, from what I remember. The 'LEANING' part... you mean it's sagging on either the driver or pass. side, right? Answer:__________ hahaha.

Also, just to let you know, SOME will say "A FRAM????", others, "A STANT? NOOOO".... lol. I've found mixed messages from people on the fuel filter brand that should be used WITHOUT questions(MOST of those opinions leaning to OEM), lol. But I can tell you from experience, Brian.... You WANT an OEM Thermostat. They're just superior, period. The filter, I would imagine, would probably last a bit longer if it's OEM as well.... But the Thermostat..... I've had 2 Stant's Fail on me in only a couple thousand miles. The OEM that I had before that? 100K miles.

Anywhoooooo, best wishes on the alignment and "NO ISSUES" with the suspension stuffs... and have FUN, wheelin her, soon! lol.

Congratz, Brian.... and thanks alot, Craig, for giving your expertise!

I'll get pics up ASAP!

And i believe the lean is on the passenger side.

The fuel filter was given to me by the previous owner. And the reason i got the Stant thermostat was because it was a 180* thermostat not a 212* which is factory (according to my FSM). If and when it fails or if it doesn't cure my overheating with the heat on problem, i'll switch to OEM.

I think i'm going today to get aligned. Hopefully i won't have to hold the wheel at a 30* angle to go straight lol.

Personally I would wait for the alignment till you got those 33's on and make sure they clear your front fender-wells at full stuff lock to lock and you wont have to raise the torsion bars again. Because when you do the alignment will go out of whack again.
