thanks guys. i actually think im going to take them off now that i have skinnier tires. i don't have to worry about them rubbing the leaf springs when i turn. the toyota axles made it about 5 inches wider so that helped but i'll definitely need to be careful.

Looks good

what steering arms are you running on the toy axles?

I just got some work done on my landcruiser getting it ready for next week, heading out to katemcy rocks wednesday for 5 days

No I haven't really had the chance yet, I'm definitely going to once it's all done. Right now I'm about to finish everything up and do some shakedown runs on our property first.
