thank you. I used to run the same tire but the 37” size on my Gen 1 raptor. I don’t do much off roading, only a fire road 1-2 times a year so these are pretty overkill. But I have a short work commute and I don’t mind driving like a grandma to keep my transmission alive. Haha.

Had 35x10.50r17 installed today. Popular size on Tacomas because they’re narrow. Trimming is needed and crash bars need to be removed, but they fit!

Did a speaker upgrade and installed sound deadening in the doors (only bought 8 sheets so there are a few gaps). Affordable upgrade and made noticeable difference in bass response.

Same here. I finally called SVC for some details and after our discussion I placed the order. Do they cost way too much, yes. Do they look beautiful, also yes. Ha.

Added a little unnecessary billet bling to the front end:

Yeah 11 mpg sounds real low. I’m on 33s with all the front aero removed and still get 18mpg city and close to 21 freeway. Yes, I do drive like a grandma. But still.

Shocks are SOLD! Thanks again forum.

What a project, completed the full by myself, which in hindsight wasn’t the brightest idea. Suspension stuff is heavy! Ended up going with the extended travel coilovers from ICON and adjusted them to provide a 3” lift. Now the truck sits level and drives like a dream. If anyone is on the fence...

I should have everything off by next weekend 5/17-5/18.

thanks, yeah I’m open to reasonable offers. I figured $600 was fair but I’d like to get this setup to a new home.

sorry, missed this.

I will have my complete suspension setup for sale in the next 2 weeks, nothing wrong with the Bilstein setup, just wanted a higher lift and the ICON coilovers allow for a higher lift compared to the 6112s. My loss is your gain, under 2,000 miles on this current setup with maybe 20 miles being...

Sorry to revive an old thread but in the post it states: “RWD Snap Ring Settings: Bilstein does not recommend using the topmost snap ring setting on RWD Rangers.” I’m trying to figure out why this is. I have an FX2 (RWD) and also the ICON delta joint upper arms that have the built in caster...

I think you’re spot on with the spacer idea. I’ve read online (just can’t find where at the moment) that the Tremor package uses a factory strut spacer to gain the higher ride height compared to other models. I may try to source that Tremor spacer first, if I can’t though, maybe I can find a...

thanks for your thoughts on this. The thing that has me questioning if the rod inside the shock would be long enough or not is on the install instructions. It does allow the highest position to be used with a four-wheel-drive model. But with the 2 Wheel Dr. model, it says to only go to the...
