2004 4Runner SR5
I put on an Icon Stage 7 lift (Thank you Black Friday sales). I had to do some adjustments to the front coil overs to get the ride height just right.
I put on Vision Nemesis wheels with Milestar Patagonia M/Ts in a 285/70R17.
I had some good rubbing with everything stock, but after some trimming, it stopped unless I was under decent compression while in a turn. I also did a body mount chop (just used some steel bar to fill the area I cut).
Overall, I am very happy with this, although it was a bit on the pricey side. I saved for almost a year to buy the lift, wheels, and tires.
I think that I could fit 35s in there if I wanted to do more trimming on the fender area, but it would be tight and I feel like a regear would really be needed at that point.
Who knows, when these tires are toast maybe I will try...

2008 4 runner
The car is a 2008 4 runner v6 2wd. With Trd pro wheels and nitto ridge grapplers 285 70 17. I also have spider trax 1.25 inch wheel spacers.
My suspension set up is all mismatched . I originally wanted to level out my car. So I purchased a bilstein 5100 kit with rear 1.8 springs. I was gonna use the front stock coils and put it at 4th notch. Then I decided to purchase some dobinson c59300 front coils. Ran that set up for a few months. So later on I wanted to go higher. Somewhere along the way I purchsed the dobinson upper control arm. That opened up possibilities of going higher. I recently purchased the Dobinson c59-677v coil so I can run 3 inches. I moved my bilstein 5100 to second clip using the c59300 coils. Im currently at 23 inches up front and 24.5 rear. Im planning on raising the front up some more I dont like the rake it has at the moment. Ill up load pics soon

Went ahead and swapped my 265/70 Cooper AT for 275/70 Cooper STT MAX's.

Damn, that looks super clean, would you mind if I asked what the height front/back is by this point?

Thanks man! not at all, current measurements from ground to flare lip is:
DF:36" PF: 37"
DR: 37" PR: 38"
So driverside sits about 1" lower to the passenger side which can be corrected with spacers. Which il do eventually.

Thanks, got 1" of rake. AS for the headlights they're just black housing ones off eBay.

I like the look of the lifts with a little rake still. My spacer lift is even, and too often after I park with the car not settled, one corner looks higher or lower.

WHOA! Not many malls open right now to be crawling. What journeys have you taken up in the interim? LOL Only kidding, if it works for you, thats cool. Definitely not something you see everyday though.

Lift brand/size: Bilstein 5100 Shocks with Moog FJ coils up front (lift set at 1.75") and Bilstein Heavy Rear Springs 400lb Constant Load
Tire brand/size/style: BF Goodrich KO2 AT's, 275/70/17
Do I like it? Of course I do! I think I may want to give her an extra inch or two but I'm not sure yet. When spare money rolls around, I'll consider it.
