Lift. It's already on and extra clearance has to be good!

Looks good to me. The rims look almost factory.

Definatly with lift. Mine looks a bit goofy with 30's and 3" lift but not bad. Best mod ever.

I saw those wheels on a 2nd gen rodeo before and checked into them cuz like A2K said they look factory. They dont make them in 15" for our lug pattern though :( I want to go with 15" wheels instead of 16". Thinking of going with some US Wheel black modular wheels (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=USW%2D94%2D5860&N=700+400354+304801+4294793325+4294795098+42947559 53+4294795067+115&autoview=sku) but I had chrome mods on my mitsu and the outter rim started rusting bad, so I dont know. I want something with black center and chrome/silver around the rim and center caps.

I've had many people tell me the rims look factory; I never thought that when I bought them, but I'm glad they do.

Yes, it was almost impossible to find 15" rims that fit; I got tired of looking. Found several dark and/or black rims, but just didn't give the Rodeo the look I was looking for. I didn't want any bling bling, but, I've had black rims before too, and didn't like them.

Hindsight wishes I had *known* at the time I traded my '91 Rodeo that those wheels would've have fit this rig - they were the 15" snowflakes!

I just kind of stuck with 16's, cause I already had 16" tires and I couldn't afford to replace tires & wheels at the same time.

Those wheels you posted look real nice - had a set very similar to that on our old Toyota, danced that truck up real nice.

I think it looks great.

i love your 2 inch lift. the beauty about the lift and the rims is it is very tastefully and classy. it does have the look that it could be factory! keep up the good work. your mods give the customizing world a good name. mike

The lift looks great. What did you go with for that lift? 2" is about all I want to go with mine. Looks real clean

Kaufman - I noticed your '96 is huggin 210k miles, are you still on the original auto??

On the lift, I used 3" longer then stock shackles from Calmini and cranked the front torsion bars 8 turns - IIRC. I may take the front down to 6, however, I'm not 100% fond of the way it's taking windy roads right now - but the front is the same height as the rear right now, which was not the way these trucks were designed to ride.

I agree with these guys the lift looks great. Like 2000izusu said, it's tasteful. Tasteful enough to be a daily driver and not yet overdone to look completely off-road. (not that there's anything wrong with the off-road look, rodeos look great that way too) it just depends on which is practical for your intentions. As for the wheels...I think they're the perfect compliment for the lift. Not run-of-the-mill yet not too flashy.
