Its one of the few that the wheel company had to offer. I would eventually like to get the 55 dog dish style instead though.

Re: Project "Sleezy" 72 Highlander
The truck looks great.
Did you do any investigating to find out why the drivers side is an inch lower than the passenger side?
Have you thought about installing a front sway bar?

Did you investigate why it was sitting high/low on one side? I'd check that the front spring pig-tail is in the lower control arm pocket on both sides. If it isn't, you might be able to use a spring compressor to squeeze the one that is not seated properly and move it without popping a ball joint. I wish you luck! The truck is looking great!

That was the exact thing I was thinking because I couldn't quite remember if I had seated it correctly. Verified it earlier and sure enough, it was about 180 degrees out from the pocket lol. I haven't reinstalled the wheels to check for sure but I assume that was the culprit.

Glad you figured it out. Keep up the good work!

Re: Project "Sleezy" 72 Highlander
Finally got the truck on all fours. Been driving her short distances to work out any bugs, but so far so good. Well except for the water pump failure and probably needing another hundred brake bleeds. Installed a new water pump, hoses, and belts.
