ok so im going to bring this back up, i think i might be getting a set of 285/35/22 tires, found a set on craigslist for $200 80% left and 3 are nitto 555 and one toyo proxy :/ not a huge fan of the mixed tires but allows me to go lower then i can worry about tires later

 

Cool. Put the odd tire on the passenger rear. You won't see it that way.

 

Id be all over that deal. $200 for 4 80% tires. And they are top quality tires. Good find!

 

I am sure that you are going to rub with a 285.

 

Actually ended up getting them for $150!

As for the rubbing ill either just deal with it or fix it another way

 

i think ill try just the control arms and spindles first, theoretically i wouldnt need an alignment if it is a true direct replacement and then decide if i want to go the extra inch...dont want to spend my entire savings on this, $405 shipped for spindles is enough to spend right now

 

Where did you find them?

 

Amazon has them for 426 shipped

 

guy on another forum who is a belltech and djm dealer said he would beat stillens price of 406 shipped

i might actually call a local place to see if they will match the price

one more edit* maybe that tss guy on here will beat the $405 from the guy on the other forum

 

You'll need an alignment for the mere fact that you are replacing the control arms. The alignment is done by moving the LCAs.

 

Well its a good thing I'm not replacimg my current djm lower control arms

 

Spindles ordered, now just need some shackles, looking for ones with 1-2" droplet me know if you have some to get rid of

 

Gotcha

 

PM sent.

 

Sorry migdaddy but your 03 shackles won't work on my 05, just compared my gf's stock 02 shackles to mine and the 04-08 leafs must be half inch wider
