Cold start with the flow fx catback. Love the 5.3 just wish it was more tunable.

This is my old set up, so stock TB suspension. The tires are 35x12.5 and I was running 1.25” spacers w/ the OEM TB wheels. The wheels tires and spacers are for sale.

Haven’t seen many vids of this exhaust. I’ve had this on since 250 miles, it was under $500 and super easy to install. It retains the stock bumper tips for an OEM look but it’s nice and aggressive sounding. I get lots of compliments and people asking about it. I’ll add some revs and cab .

The wheels are Method racing 701’s 17x8.5, 0mm offset Tires are Toyo R/T 35x12.5 Eibach suspension

When you walk up to your truck and you have to take a pic haha

Nice truck man! Front end looks really aggressive. Can you send me a link to the silver piece you have on the lower bumper? I’m digging that!

Yeah I searched for a long time and Go Rhino seemed to be the closest to what I was looking for. After having them for a while they seem to be holding up okay so I’m happy. I’m out in West Marin near SF. I like the Shasta area a lot, we camp up there all the time.

Glad to help man. Truck looks great! With bigger tires it will transform

Nice truck! I’m digging the overland look. We have similar taste!

That finish looks good, wish I went with the bedliner, mine are taking a beating on the driver side from me climbing in and out with my work boots. Your alignment is on point?

The steps are from Go Rihno. I would prefer to run some tight rock sliders but my wife has a hard time climbing in so it’s a compromise.

I have to agree with you, the quality for the price is pretty good. Performance is still great on my set with 15k miles and 2 off-road camping trips. The finish on the shock body is holding up great. The best part is the way they make the truck handle. Way more zoom zoom on the corners now.

Did some wheeling and camping out in Shasta CA. Loving this truck

I have the rears but with the TB blocks.

When a lift company claims that a certain size tire “will” fit take it as a general statement because there are so many variables involved, so complaining to BDS won’t help you. If you want the look of a bigger tire but don’t want to rub you need to trim the places you’re rubbing. If you don’t want to trim the places you’re rubbing you need a bigger lift or smaller tires.

17x8.5 Methods 35X12.5 Toyo A/T Eibach pro truck struts springs. TB blocks

I’ve posed before about the ride quality, the stock TB Ranchos aren’t the worst but I wanted a better handling truck. With this set up the bounce is eliminated completely, when I go over a bump and low and high speed the struts only cycle once up and down. The body roll and the nose dive on braking have been reduced significantly as well. Feels more like a controlled heavy truck now. The front is stiffer, you feel more feedback from the tires. It’s hard to say, everyone is different but I like more feedback even if it feels like the front is stiffer. You are correct on the lift height with the springs and second from highest perch ring is around 2.7 - 3 inches. I’ve put a level on the bedsides and it’s still not level (the rear end is 1/8 higher according to the bubble) but there’s a bit more wheel well showing in the front compared to the rear. This is with the 2 inch block in the back. Cv angles are perfect and I have the longer TB axles so no issues with going about .8 inches more then the stock front coils.

Are you using the stock springs or the Eibach? The Eibach springs are taller then the oem springs so you’ll get about 2 inches (1.9 according to Eibach) on the 2nd ring from the bottom. Both of those tires will fit as long as you do a bit of trimming on the mud flaps and inner liner.

He’s on the second groove from the top, not the second groove from the bottom. I also have mine set on that groove. It’s the sweet spot for this truck if you’re running a 2 inch block out back.

I have the Eibach pro truck struts and springs in the front. I have them set on the third strut perch. The rear is the TB blocks that came on the truck and the Eibach struts. I’m around 3 inches in the front and 2.5 in the rear. I trimmed the mud flaps and removed the bracket, no zip ties though. I don’t have rubbing even on flex in the front but I’ve trimmed all the places I was rubbing before so you have to be willing to slice the liner a bit.

I like more tire too. 17x8 methods 0mm no spacers.

Great looking truck man. I like the chrome on the front with that color.

The CV boot would pop off or tear if the axle came loose. The sway bar and UCAs’s should prevent suspension from articulating enough to cause the axle from popping out. Have you checked if there’s any play in the axle? If you’re getting a clunk I would guess one of the suspension bolts is not fully tightened. The sway bar is a good place to check first, then just go down the line. If you have the tools I would check these things yourself, don’t rely on the shop.
