Hey pit, your rig is looking good!

How are the Radial TTCs holding up to daily driving? What brand of ventshades did you go with? Do you like them?

Looks great! Did you measure wheel hub to wheel well, or even just overall height before/after? Looks like more than 4.5" in the pics, I like it.

I guess any 35" tire is going to kill your power and fuel consumption.

The way I look at it is, if you can afford to buy a h3t alpha then lift it and put big tires on it who cares about the 1.40 a liter for gas. I only get about 290km per tank around town lol...

I love loud tires! I know what you mean about mileage. I've got 37s and I'm getting 11 city (always in 3rd gear) and 13-14 highway.

So how is the MPG now? I know this is going to sound dumb but would the lift lower you MPG? Also one more dumb thing to ask, is the wheel spacers a must for the lift? I'm thinking because the knuckle is longer the stock rim would hit it and that why the wheel has to be pushed out. Right?

Looks sweet.. Yeah I wondered about that first picture.. Was way high in the front.. Fine job. Are you planning on taking the nerf bars off and putting on some sliders?

Looks great! I love my Rancho 4in on my Alpha. How did you get or have your front to high? I'm to low in the front. Is it worth cranking torsion bars to level it after I had my T lifted already? Will the ride suffer to much?

Thanks in advance!
