  1. Curious, What’s the offset on your Mavericks to fit that 34” tire?
  2. Amazon prime. Shipped to my door for free. Paid a local shop $15/tire to mount, balance, dispose of the used up wranglers.
  3. Thanks. Correct, I believe the finished height on the AT2s in that size was like 33.9" on Toyo website. Ive got over 11k miles on them, still look brand new.
  4. Don't disagree with anything you state here but I didn't say it was a magic cutoff. Simply stating due to angles of ball joints, typically anything over 2.5" level substantially adds greater risk for premature wear due to suspension geometry. Nothing is "safe"
  5. Exactly the kit I used and sold lower spacer. Good luck! Well worth it.
  6. I did try the 2nd setting before the top. A little stiffer ride on top setting that I noticed but that's expected as I added 10ply tires at the same time. My opinion avoid the lower spacer with the 5100s if you can since they are designed for height adjustment. Anything over 2.5" your at higher risk for premature ball joint issues. All depends on how much clearance you want Really.
  7. I'd do it again every time. The ride is tremendously better than stock. This is the only route I would personally go without a lift. I've done the RC 2" level and TGC 2.5" level on trucks I've owned, the billstein combo I put on here is the sweet spot IMO. Works best for me. If you want a little rake, put the fronts on the 3rd setting and you should be all set.
  8. I'm running similar setup on my '14 HC. Except my 5100s are set to highest setting (1.8") with a .5 in spacer on top in front. And swapped out stock block (1.25") for 2.25" block in rear also with 5100s. Running 295/60/20 on stock high country rims. Barely rubs, and I mean barely, inner liner at full lock. Sits about 1/4"-3/8" higher in rear. As Big Whiskey stated, you can run bigger Timbrens or Firestone Airbags in rear to help with squat while towing.
  9. At least your license plate survived! Go cubbies!
  10. Congratulations on the long time detailing gig. Everyone details differently. Being a longtime detailer this should be a given as new technologies, techniques, and formulas are introduced. I use a "sealer" such as chemical guys jet seal after polishing and prior to waxing, or straight from claying depending on the finish of the vehicle. Adds longer life protection than just traditional waxing. It's preference and allows me to go longer between details. I as well have detailed for years but understand there is more than traditional ways to detail vehicles. To each there own. Back on topic, that's "what I did to MY k2 today."
  11. Correct, wax isn't a sealer. Typically seal after polish and before wax. Got some chemical guys jet seal to be delivered tomorrow. Will wait until closer to colder months to seal and wax again. Good labor day sales.
  12. Got her all cleaned up for fall. Washed, clayed, polished, waxed. Got new chemical guys foam cannon on its way. Really can't wait to use it and get her sealed before winter but this will do for now. Also, Adjusted my light bar to fit grill better and swapped out switch.
  13. Running 295/60/20 toyo AT II extremes stock high country rims +27 on 2.5" RC/Bilstein 5100 level. Fronts just barely rub at full lock in reverse on pavement. Off-road would need to trim some inner fender well on mine but I'm solely on pavement. Probably the biggest you can go without some inner fender modification but just what I found. Others may have different experience. Hope that helps.
  14. Ya, 2" rear blocks replaced the factory 1".
  15. Here ya go. Toyo A/T II XTREMES
