Passenger side leaf is on the 4Runner (tacked in and sitting on the tire to check everything). I believe the rear shackle is steeper than necessary so I am going to move it back about an 1.5". Any thoughts? Currently it is sitting at a 5.5" shackle length so moving it back will raise the back of the rig another 3/4" maybe which will be a nice ride height IMO. Then I will just need to work on bringing the front down 3/4" to level it.




As for the F150 leaf spring install; current specs are: 11" forward for front hanger, 3.75" forward for rear hanger.

Heyo eagle eye. The shop snapped a lug. I've got to get it fixed.

Super easy fix. Go to Napa and get the lug. Pop out the old one with a 3lb sledge and a punch. Get a bunch of washers and a sacrificial nut and put the lug in the backside and ratchet the nut until the lug is seated. Around 10 mins top to fix.


What made you want these rims?

Rim width size is perfect for the 255s. The lip on my old rims would always get scratched on rock. Backspacing is better than what I had. I traded with somebody, so essentially no cost other than mount and balance.

Not to mention those factory alloys are virtually impossible to destroy and hold a bead better

Finished putting the F150 leafs in this morning. Now to fix all the little things that have to be changed with the increased ride height and then back to the list.

You might want some beefier shackles those look a bit on the flimsy side

I was thinking about lowering the front a little and moving the 5" shackles to the back. Because the angle of the front shackle I am thinking 4" shackles should bring me ~level.
