Well,
It took some time waiting on the Deaver springs, but they finally arrived, and my truck is back from Demello Offroad. Here's a pic:

It now has 285s, with lexus GX470 rims - Donahoes up front, Bilstien 7100s in the rear with Deaver Coils 20% firmer than stock and 2.5" longer. 1" 4crawler body lift as well. I also put on some Spidertrax 1.25" spacers all around which balanced things out nicely.

A little trimming was done as expected, but no rubbing so far - but I haven't been anywhere offroad yet!

Oh, and just for reference here is the before pic:

I'll post more pictures a bit later.

Thanks Everyone

Thanks for the comments.
Yes, I am pretty happy with how it turned out!

I can't wait to get it on the trail and find out what it can do.


As for my future plans for the truck, I've got some ideas - but right now I'm going to worry about paying for what I just did! :)

Thanks for your help everyone.

Shoes

Those are Cooper STTs - I really like the look of them.
I heard good things, so I thought I'd give them a try!

Looking very nice Mike. Keep me posted on the performance of the Coopers, I am thinking of going with those on my next tire change, which is coming up soon. I know Chris really likes them.

It's leaning a bit to the left, going to even out the Donahoes tomorrow.
Also, I am moving to firmer valving on the rear shocks.
