That looks awesome. Which Truxxx kit did you get? I don’t plan on any serious off-roading so got the kit without the shock extenders.

Assuming you installed yourself?

The extenders were not offered when I bought it, it's been done for a little bit. But they are asking too much for the extenders, they are on Amazon and eBay for 30ish bucks. So far haven't needed them

Look great, just a question
Why the spacers? Door like that out wider look or felt they were needed?

I believe I seen on here spacers are needed for the tires to clear the strut or shock, not really sure. I added them on just to be safe but I also wanted the wider look. They are kinda too recessed to begin with.

Looks good, 20mm seems to be the sweet spot for stance. What spacers did you use and did you have to trim the studs?

With those meaty paws you might consider the extended fender flares

Direct bolt on. Used the stock lugs on the spacers and got black for the outside. No need to trim studs there is space behind the stock wheel

These are the spacers

Wouldn't mind them but until they go cheaper I'll wait.

I'm in the same boat. Once I see a set for $250-300, I'll be on em quick.

Looks good. I'm debating on the lift and keeping stock tire size, don't feel like messing with the odometer. I'm waiting for the BFG Trail-Terrains in 246/60R18. Had them on my RAV4 and really liked them.

Stock tires are 29" these are 30.5" the difference is miniscule. See calculator below

I would rather be spot on than 3% under.

I don't have the turbo either, so rather not do anything that robs much acceleration as I would assume bigger tires would do. I'm still solidly on the fence with the lift.

Not really sure never measured before or after. Between the lift and tire it should be 2¼ inches taller total and I'd say that's about right. It's noticable, I did the lift and tires within a day of each other and once I started driving it again daily it took a day or two to get used to again.

How are the ko2s? I know they only come in E load for that size and that seems way overkill.
