Hey everyone! I'm new here, actually I'm new to 4runners all together! I bought my 1999 sr5 just a few days ago and I love it,but there's one downside...it looks extremely sissy! And while being in a budget I can't quite afford a nice lift kit yet so here's my question, I have seen pics of people with only a 2in lift and they still fit 33in tires on there truck. If I were to get the daystar leveling kit for the front and rear on my SR5 will I be able to fit 285x75x16s without rubbing? Any opinion and thoughts would be very very helpful as I look forward to learning more and contributing my knowledge as best I can. The pic is of a 2in lift with 33s, can I expect similar results?

I have a similar problem and I'm wondering if you run wheel spacers and a 2-3" lift if you can run a 30-33" 285 with out cutting and trimming.

Oops the pic I posted is of my 4runner haha stinkin iPhone here the one with 2in

Looking to do the same, just want to slap on a set of 285-65R18.

I have a 2.5" lift and 285/75/16 on my 2001. I only rub my front bumper Valance very little at close to full turn. If If I went wheeling a lot it would be a bigger problem. there is not enuff room to do much flexing

you will only rub on your valance...i have the same set up but now runing 265-70-17 w BFG tires....

Did u install a Diff drop w your 2.5 lift....???

I sure did. It came with my kit

Is that a 2.5in suspension lift or is that the 2.5 in leveling kit?

can u post a pic of your CV angle i just wanna c if its the same angle as my runner....

Not sure, I got the block spacers.

with my diff drop kit, My CV'S are pretty much straight. Ill try and get a pic or two

I have 3" front and 3.5" rear suspension with a 1.5" body lift. The front valence rubbed and need trimmed. Even with some trimming if I'm turning and hit a bump it still rubs. Also at full flex in the rear the stock rear bumper rubs on the back of the 33's with my setup, light trimming needed on the rear steel bumper if offroading. Also more of an issue with mud tires as they seem to rub a lot more than all terrains so tire type also comes into play.

Im sorry to be annoying but i like your setup, so your kit, did it include new shocks and coils? or was it just spacers you put on the top of the stock coils in the front and rear? I only ask cause i have never heard of block spacers.

Its no bother. They were just spacers put on top. very in expensive but effective for me. The kit came with the front and rear spacers and a diff drop kit for under 250.00. EBAY was my friend

Thats exactly what im looking at! sweet i havent seen a truck with just the spacers yet and yours looks great. thanks man.
