Did you not read that its a dodge charger? Front wheel peels and the ebrake is foot operated and don't work for shit, I do know it will hit 110+ in 3rd..
Charger FWD? WTF? How good does it shift from said 110+ to reverse?

Are you sure it's FWD?

I was going to go out and do some work on the 4Runner; but then it started raining to the point I couldn't see across the road. Soooo I'm going to swap out the needle in my bike instead; I've been needing to do that for a while also.

Ya that happened here too, drug the welder out side and almost immediately started getting rained on.

Rewired the fuel pump on the trail rig. Discovered some fucking mice chewed up some wires under the dash!! I think it's just for my aux lights.. Truck runs but no lights. Too hot to dick with it. But I did leave 8 "trays" of D-Con mice and rat killer... Eat up fuckers, dinner is on me!
Got those 15in shocks crammed in yesterday. We weren't able to use Drew's method and stay low because there wasn't enough clearance between the sidewall of a 285 and the leaf springs. Had to go high and Randy is probably gonna be spot on with the wheel spacers. I have some new wheels coming soon with better backspace and offset. If they don't take care of the issue solo, spacers will be comin' into play.

I think you'll be alright with the tires you've got those tucked way tighter to the frame than mine were
We tucked 'em as tight as we could, but at full stuff they still rub the shock bodies.
I think it's these tundra wheels...they're 4.75" BS and have a +15mm offset. I'm switching to 4.30" BS and a -10mm offset. It's a wider wheel, so the tire will increase section width up to 1/2", but it will also move out of the wheel well .45in plus 25mm. 25.4 mm = 1in if I remember my metric conversion correctly, which means I should gain 1.5" clearance from the sidewall just through the wheel change. Subtract the section width change and I should get at least another inch of clearance minimum, maybe more. And that might do it by itself.
Here's a shot from behind. Got it as close as we could without the u-bolt flip plate hitting the shock body on compression.
Yeah, I think you could still do it on a 2gen Tacoma, but you'd need 2.0 shocks and 255 tires. No way it's happening with 2.5s and 285s.

Tommy want wingy..
Crawled under the red truck last night and discovered all the front end shackle nuts were hand tight and partially backed off. Crisis averted for now. I need to go through and check every nut and bolt on this fucker now.
