Pics- 2" AS on 295 Nitto's with cost

Correct forum?

2007 FX4 Supercrew with 6.5' bed 7,600 miles

2" Auto Spring powder coated
$ 92

17 x 8.5 MB 72 series wheels - I dont remember the backspace
295/70R17 Nitto Terra Grappler
wheels, tires, lugs, replacement certs and install - free rotate and balance
$ 1418.00

TPS - Moving from stock wheels to new wheels- requires band replacement

Alignment - Toe was way off
$ 70.00

2" AS install was a breeze. It took us an hour and a half but we were messing around the entire time. I am 90% happy with the setup. I think I would have liked the 305's better but they would definitely rub.

I dont have a pic of the angles but it's the same as all the others that cause controversy so please save for the next guy...thanks

More before and after pics in the gallery

Looks great, needs steps, or tubes or something on the sides.

Looking good! I just done the same thing last weekend but I didn't get new wheels. I have almost as much in my tires as you did in your wheels & tires. Oh well, the wheels will be on soon enough.

Nice ride, this pretty much seals my decision on whether to get the 2.5 or 2 inch AS lift.
If you would do over again if you would get them powdercoated?
I dont know how much of the spacer you actually see when install so dont know if its really worth the extra dollars.

You dont see much of the spacer. I did it more for durability.

I sold my CRF450X last week and picked up a Stroked 05 RM250 Saturday. Had fun with the 4 strokes but Im a 2 stroker at heart.
