Dude, this is like the best discovery for us 08+ owners since... well ever! thanks for sharing the info, we appreciate it. Ill be throwing on my 03 torsion bar adjusters this weekend, cant wait!

 

Not to steal your thunder:




And if you only want about .75inch lift, use the second hole from teh top like i did:

 

Looks good!

I bet shane's still drooling. lol

 

WOAH! I was gonna say....HEY! That sawhorse looks just like mine! DWB paint and all! Then was sadly disappointed to see that it was in fact my sawhorse. lol.



I see a fore, mid, and aft skids of that thing....pretty rare combo on something thats not an FX4.



Nah.....at least not yet....Wait til i get that lifted GO up taller...THEN is when i'll be droolin'.

 

And it's your tape to the side, lol.

 

And grant's clothes in that garbage bag... College kids ftw!

 

lol wut? college kids ftw!

 

how do ya tell what bars u have on? jsut so i can go look

 

Nice work!

I got to come by sometime to see it in person.

 

i can stop in and see you at work? you done at 5? lol just let me know what day.....i'll try and bring the camera

 

Ok just measure......

Front:
35 3/8th

Rear:
36 5/8th


so w/e stock is, i belive my front was only like 32 and 3/4 when i started this journey.

 

So can you fit 33 12.50 comfortably now? anyone know.

 

33x12.50 will never fit 'comfortably' on a stock truck. Cooke15 was running stock 08 torsion components, cranked bars, shackles and 33's....He reported no rubbing on 15x8 rims.

 

Nice, i used the second hole up and got an inch of lift out back.

 

Well I will be able to after I install this box of stuff I have that's about 14 x 12 inches and weighs 20 pounds :)


Hoping to get it on this weekend. Running a 18 rim. Any suggestions on a tire?

 

Grapplers!

 

Gumbo mudders for sure... Nice and light I hear! haha

 

I was looking at a set of toyo open country's....whats everyones take on those?

 

eh.....idk about those. I had a set in 31x10.50....HORRIBLE hydroplaning issues on the freeway at high speeds(70mph). Scared me to death. They were sipped from the factory AND siped from the tire shop. My un-siped Good year MTR's and BFG M/Ts were FAR Superior to the toyo opencountrys. And M/T's have a bad rep for being aweful in rain.
