Ok, I will have the factory 18" TRD wheels. I will be bagging my new xB. To completly slam it will I have to do any kind of body work (because of rubbing)?

 

It is not likely you will have to do any additional "body work." Every single kit I am aware of on the market stops the xB from dropping all the way to the ground. Most will actually stop the xB's drop before your tires will even hit the fender wells if I am not mistaken.

If you did happen to build your own kit, or customize another one to go lower, then you may run into problems. Things like the filler neck for your gas tank, the fender well, power steering, and maybe even the half shafts would have to be dealt with. If you go low enough on big wheels you may even have to do a "mini-tub" into the cabin and maybe even on the door jambs.

I know I have missed some things, but that will give you a general idea. Chances are though, you will buy a bolt on kit and not run into any of these issues.

 

the front sway bar will hit the unibodys subframe while your tires will hit the fender depending on your offset.. nothing major.

 

Ok, thanks guys. I will be buying a bolt on kit, so Im not really going to worry about it anymore.

 

i had to do a lil cutting with the TRDs mainly just inside where the two bolts are buts it goes with the territory
have fun and post pics

 

I will have the xB within this week and have it bagged within the next three weeks. When i get it done ill post some pictures.
