    New Skoots & OME 912's

    If anyone is inerested I was able to fit Toyo's Open Country tires on the OEM 18's. 265/75/18 for reference. Had to do a little clad trimming.

    Gained 2.75" in rear and right at 2" up front with tortion bar cranked all the way.

    Ride is much better. I think I was bottoming out w/ original springs. Also the tires help the ride. Coolest aspect is the lowest point (rear diff) 10.25". Pretty hard to beat for a mod that took one full day and less than $200.

    OME 912's: http://picasaweb.google.com/mike.s.webb/VXLift507

    Now I just have to find some dirt in Dallas!


    P.S. sorry it's so dirty in the second set of pics... been raining not stop...

    info you, you could of used the 285's Toyo AT's with just the trim job and OEM's springs and no torsion bar crank with the stock wheel. It really looks the part with that tire. Of course the raised look is cool too.
