The lift looks great! It is definately not a grocery getter is right. I had a question about your wheels, do you think they stick out too far? I was thinking about getting the same wheels, 15x8 MT classic II, but was afraid about the backspacing. Do you have any problems with rubbing or anything?

Nolan thanks for the reply.

In all honesty, I didn't think they would stick out at all. I wasn't too clear on the backspacing and how it would look. When I saw the end result, however, I was pleased.

At full turn, I do get some very slight rubbing which I'm fairly positive is on the upper control arm.

i dont know much about 3rd gen except for what i have helped on my bros (hyperlite) and thought that 15" rims wouldnt fit over the disc brake caliber. maybe that is another difference in the 2wd & 4wd. I think stock BS is 4.25 my bro got 16x8 @ 4.25 305 70's with OME and alot of trimmin, they also stick out a bit and still rub. he ordered cornfed front spacers i think 1 1/2" to try and fix (he also had to take off fender flares only rubbed in the front)

was just told that the 2wd has smaller rotors so 15's will fit

just watch the BS i would go 4.25 and add a spacer if needed cause if they stick out too much you have to buy new rims and that sux if you just bought some.

also let us know about those fugly runnin boards, your girl will not mind without them cause your truck will look really big and everybody will stare. so just tell her she is so pretty thats why people are staring and she will love you for it

custom, I dunno about 4wd, but the stock wheels on my Runner were 15".

I think what I'll do is take the running boards off for about a week and see how it works out. They're just bolted on, right?
