Finally contributing to this thread
2006 SR5 V6 4WD
TRD FJ springs/shocks + 1/2" toytec top plate spacer in front
Poly bushings
SCS Stealth wheels (gloss black)
Cooper Discoverer AT3 (P-rated and stock size)
Fender height: 35.5" front, 36.5" rear
Rides firm and corners very nicely (much less body roll)
Cooper AT3 is so smooth and quiet (compared to my previous c-rated Duratracs).

I am finally able to post some pics of my rig up here. I may be the first person on here to purchase these tires but I have to say how impressed I am after the first few miles put on them. I kept it really cheap thus far on the build.... Using 5100's at 2.5 with stock springs and a toytec top plate spacer for a full 3"; in the rear I am running some Metal tech springs and Radflo 2.0's! The tires are 255/80-17 Cooper St Maxx.

I can't see the pictures, and it's killing me because I'm really thinking about getting that size ST MAXX but I want to see what they look like first. :nod:

x2!!
I'm halfway done with my lift. I used front suspension from a 2011 Double Cab TRD Offroad Tacoma with a .25" top out spacer. I was hoping to end up with 2" of lift. I think I am closer 1.5" total, I'm considering getting a bigger top out spacer.
I was waiting to see how the front ended up before I decided on rear suspension, I need at least another 1.5".
I'm running the new 255/75/17 Duratracs. These look pretty skinny on the stock wheels, 1.25" spidertrax are in my future.
Running boards are coming off tonight

They are super quiet on the freeway and the tall skinny tire is tops IMO. If your at 3/2 these coopers fit perfectly. I didnt have to push the front fender liners forward or chop the fender edge. My lady isnt thrilled about how high the rig is now; But I LOVE it! I finally cant see the top of the roof

I think I'll do these now instead of pushing for the 255/80's plus your size has the load c tires. I wanted a wider tire but with the same tire diameter dimensions but I'm too afraid of rub.

Nice! They are quiet. I debated between this size and the 255/75.

These are 255/80-17 load range E 33" tall 10" wide no rubbing on stock sr5 wheels and no spacers needed. Whole inch taller than 75 series

You just made my day! For some reason I though you put on 255/75's and I wanted the 33's but your picture made them look close. Now I'm definitely getting the 255/80's. I did the fj swap instead of daystar but there should still be enough room
