Lift and Tires installed! (Big Pics)

Finally I got to install my 3" 4Crawler BL on my truck. My truck looks 250% better. I threw on 15" Outlaw II's and 30x9.5x15LT Goodyear Muds.

The lift went in smooth as butter. I've noticed that there is less noise in the cab from the engine and the engine is running cooler. Nice! Overall I am very happy with the results I got. Roger makes a great BL kit!

Looks pretty nice. Now you need to get a locker for it and start doin some off roading. Does it seem sluggish running the 30 inch tires?

My truck is running warm, you think installing a body lift would cool my engine down too?

j/k, truck looks great, nice work!

Thanks guys! My truck is a tiny bit more sluggish because of the new tire/wheels. I'm still able to do 5th gear on the freeway though. It is still peppy and I'm sure i can still give my parents a run for their money in their 4Runners.

This might be a bit of a noob question, but doesn't swapping in those bigger tires mess up your speedometer readings? I'm just asking since I'm thinking about adding a 3" BL to my 2wd toyota too.

My speedo is a bit off now just because the tire diameter is larger then that of what the Speedo thinks it is. I did not do anything with the torsions. It is stock as can be besides the tires and lift.

put a 1.5 in ball joint spacer on the front and a 1.5 in lift shackle in the rear and it would be sweet!!!
