You did right thing to get the UCA's. I had a 3"/2" spacer lift and was able to get alignment with factory UCA's. Now I have gone with a 3-3.5"/2" Dobinson setup and was no longer able to get alignment. Finally got the Dobinson UCA's after being on back order for two months and waiting to get alignment done, and I have been assured by Dobinson the alignment should go OK.

I am 6'1" and can climb in without using my sliders, but will hit the pants leg. My 5' 12 old son uses the sliders to step in.

I've been through a lot of pics of the different lifts and tires, but never with people standing next to them. I can see that it is taller, but can't judge how tall it really sits if your having to climb in and fall out every day like with my old Jeeps.

Those with the 3" lift can you inform me how you like it on a day to day basis getting in and out, loading gear, dogs, kids (babies, not kids that can climb in themselves), etc.

I'm planning the lift in March and want to do it once and the right way. I'm worried of getting the smaller lift on and thinking it's not that bad and then wanting the extra .5"

One last questions - Does anyone have 275's with the 3" lift? I've only been able to find a couple. Thanks!

EDIT: I don't care about MPG or Cost those I've researched a lot and have a pretty good idea and currently run 275 KO2's stock
I went with the Toytec Boss lift w/UCA's and 275 K02's w/E rating - I took off the front mud flaps to eliminate rubbing - the ride is WAY better than the XREAS my LE came with. I do find the set up a bit harsher around town on the small bumps, crack or man hole covers, but once you get to bigger things like speed bumps, it's amazing. Also, the off-road performance of this set up is outstanding. I may switch to a C rated tire down the road (not certain however as the E's are way more durable) but I couldn't be happier with the ToyTec Boss kit. The new redesign w/UCA's is awesome... IMO

Wow those tires look TINY. Makes me wonder if keeping the 265s and going 2.5/1.5" will look like this or if it's because of the flares.

Hey Everyone,

thanks so much for your help! reading on all the posts really helped me make the decision to go with with the 3" lift and I couldn't be happier.

I just got my 4runner back yesterday with a 3" Bilstein/Toyotec lift installed with SPC UCA's. The current tires are 275/70r17's and they dont look bad IRL. I will more than likely go one size bigger once these wear out.

Looks good. Will look great with 285’s. I like the trail wheels without the black accents like yours.

Thanks man! Definitely agree, have a lot miles left on these tires
I do actually like the look of the trails wheels and I'll probably leave them. I'd like the offset of new wheels and I'm not a big fan of wheel spacers, At least they don't set in that bad - those 285's will probably look great on them.

I realize this is an old post, but how do you like the lift? Did you go to 285s and what was your MPG hit? Thanks in advance.

That’s a sweet looking setup.
