Pics of the new lift, wheels and tires.

Had the lift installed about 3 weeks ago. As you can tell, i'm lazy, and I'm just now posting pics. The lift is the Sonoran Steel system 1 lift, the wheels are fzj80 wheels pc'ed black chrome, and 295/75r16 Nitto Terra grapplers.
Here's an old before pic:

Now, with the SS #1 lift, 1" bl and 295 tires:




The lift is awesome, it rides and handles much better than stock, and the parts that Steve at Sonoran Steel fabricates are top notch. The tires are much more quiet on the road than i expected. Hopefully i'll take some wheelin pics tomorrow, driveway pics suck. Let me know what you think about the new improvements.

Edit: couple more pics:

Nice combination of goodies . I like that you did everything all at once. Little tougher to get into now I bet. (Took me a little while to get use to getting in and out of mine when I got my lift on.)

Liking the Nittos huh...I love mine! I was just as surprised to find out how quiet they were on the road after I got mine mounted. They have also impressed me on the little bit of off road they have seen thus far.

The wheels are powdercoated, the color is black chrome. Here's a pic of one of the wheels:

The black chrome is a nice touch instead of the typical black wheels.

Thanks, the goal was to have it match the limited trim. However the wheels are a bit lighter than the trim. The powdercoater said that was the darkest he could go without it starting to look black.

How much total lift does your truck have on the front (Hub center to fender flare bottom)?

Thanks!

Powdercoat was 65$ a wheel. More expensive than the wheels themselves, but still reasonable.

I've never really been a fan of the LC Rims. But completely changes everything!! I think I have the same fender flares, color wise. I have the Anthrcite Metallic body paint, would that be the same color? Mine looks to be deep charcoal with a HINT of blue.


Here's a pic:
