I already have Kings (from Wes nonetheless) and they perform really good but since I may be selling it at the end of the year, dropping a bunch of cash into it probably isn't the smartest thing. It's so boring never getting to do anything to it so I'll live vicariously through you 
I think your lights probably blow mine away by now

What size rim do you plan on running? I love my Toyo's which is why ill be moving up to 35's in the same brand. Hows the noise with those Nittos? I hear so many mixed reviews from people on them. My wife encourages it because she likes to look at a nice truck but she does also like to get on me about the amount of time i spend on here too haha Its always "what ya looking at online, let me guess.... the forums". She knows me too well...
Ive got 35's right now on a 20x10 rim and love it. I am for sure switching my wheels to Fuel Hostages....was gonna just swap soon and get a 20x10 and then when my 35's are gone go up to 37's. But....now im looking at the 22x11 fuel hostages for the 37's....but the change of going up to a 22" wheel on a 37" tire makes the price of tires go up biiiiig time! Talkin like $550+ a tire. I think if i saw it correctly someone tellin u to just go 37" if your thinkin about goin 35"... man it takes some lift to run a 37 on these....atleast an 8" lift with the stock front bumper....in your case since you have the pre runner front bumper you could go with a 6" and clear em. Also, more weight to turn with 37's...but you do have the tune on there and the right gears to take care of it. Too many options!!! What will make my decision on the rim size is if the 20 inch rim on a 37" tire just looks like too much rubber...
Oh and the nittos...if your gonna run a mt tire i dont think anybody should worry about noise...its there...i like it haha however I do feel like the nittos wear pretty damn quick...as to why ive been looking at toyo.

Dirt king is coming out with a boxed upper but in all honesty, the chromoly upper arm is plenty strong to handle the abuse and even comes with adjustable heim pivots which allow to adjust your suspension geometry very easily. The only place I see possible failure is your oem spindle which you can get a spindle brace kit for and then your set. Oh and camburg does have rear LT shackles, I have them. They aren't listed on the site but Jerry will hook you up if you call them. I think they're $190 a set.

I was wondering about those spindle gussets from SDHQ? Is a Raptor spindle the same size as mine? I'd like to know if I can just order one from SDHQ and have it welded up locally. Thanks for the info on the Camburg Shackles a well, glad to see there are so many options.
