i turn fine with my twenties but i cut out the inner fender. With my 17s i would rub but i had a high offset wheel on it.

The inner fenders on a yota are metal. If you have access to a plasma cutter that will be the easiest way to do it. but you'll have to relocate a lot of shit such as your fuse box, power steering reservoir and coil. and probably your battery

im gonna be running 15 inch wheels with like a 205/60 tyre...is it going to rub? with maybe a 3-4 inch front drop

also, what did you do to those inner fender wells, they look stock?
kdcgrohl   +1y
they are. just raised several inches. clear a 215/35/18 when no body drop is involved. Your response is exactly what we're going for.

If your looking for a quick & easy way to drop the front then flip the ball joints & crank down the torsion bars some. It wont hurt your ride & it should give you a good drop. If you desire more then youll need to install drop spindles or drop/lower control arms. I also know that there is a mod that you can do as for shocks on the front of your truck too. You can install the front shocks off a Ford Pinto & they will work the same as drop shocks. Oh as for cutting out the front/inner fenderwells then here is a pic of what I did!

is it neccesary to cut the fenderwells when im only dropping 3 inches or so?
smctoy   +1y
If your only going 3-inches then no!! Thats only a must if you go real low & run rims 17 or bigger cause they will most likely rub the fenderwells!

yea.... i need to do some other modifications to mine as well...... i still have all my 2wd fenders (F&R) so imma rub if i try and lower it much....... as it was here was my truck with the 2" bells w/bj flip up front and just a regular 3" block in the rear.... (all leafs still in)

as you can tell in the rear.... im having rubbing issues already with my starions and 2wd fenders....... by the way the rear wheels are 16x9's not 8's.
