Bigmike: You are really getting 250-270 a tank!? How big is your tank?

4crawler.com does custom size BLs, check his sit out its got a lot of information on body lifts. he is cheap priced but its great quality product, i have a 1 inch from him, wish i would have got 1.5 or 2 so i can get 315s, but im probably going to get 315 any way.

Why wouldn't you be able to run 315's w/o more than a 1"? If you truly have 3" in addition to the 1" BL you should be go to go. I', using the SS lift w 1" Wabfab BL and wanted to clear 35's but run 33's for the optimal clearance.

it was about a 6 month used kit, so im guessing i have approx 2.5 - 3". but with a 1" body lift i should be able to get 315s in there no problem. itll just be reason to get a better lift, to save the tires. and im going with Nitto as well, just not sure if i wanna go with 295 or 315. i have the stock sport rims and im afraid they will be too skinny for the 315s. anybody know the width of the rim.

Should be stamped on the inside of the rim or the out side for that matter.

unfortunatly, but hey, it provides me with plenty of money to buy all kinds of parts for my 4runner. in march when i get home im going to do a "build up" for everything ive got, which, is a pretty fair amount. and tires is going to be included.

i could not belive it neither untill i got the garmin...i dont think it could be wrong. right when the fuel light comes on im at 225 on the gps..200 on the speedo trip. thats with both highway and city with an easy pedal. i can honestly say i average 240 no problem.

maybe its the higher lift that is causing more drag. also this truck has never been abused untill i can do it....bone stock with all service records when i got it.

when i fill up i can never get more then 16g in the tank..so im guessing our tanks are 17-18...i dont even know what the owners munual says...never looked. i am also running stock gears..have to find out what size, but on the highway i can run 75 at 2400 rpm

you will also need at least a 1" wheel spacer with a stock wheel to clear the uca.

i just clear the uca (1/4") with a 4"bs wheel and the 315's

LC coils installed and Tokico longs....

just need to install the trim spacer up front to get a little more lift and try to even it out...

simple...with a sawzall and air chisel punch. 5 min's and the shocks were out. disconnect the sway bar, remove tires, place jack stands under the frame and lower the rear end. removed old coils / spacers and installed the LC coils. then install new shocks...installing the top bolt is no problem when new and with the right swivel socket.

the complete tear down and install was about 1.5-2 hours max.

WOw I'm getting 250-270 in FL and in AL, GA, TN 260-298 was my best. avg. speed 70mph some city. Typical around town is 250-260 before the light comes on. I'm geared with 4.56's. Something fishy goin on here. Although I would be willing to test run someones 315's if they like to verify the #'s
