Tinted the windows (including the front windshield), removed the factory roof rack, lift and larger tires.
Lift is a Cornfed 2/1 lift and tires are 275/55/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the stock Nightshade wheels.
No rubbing. No issues what so ever. First two pics are of the stock tires with the lift, then with the Nitto's..

How is the road noise. I just picked up a 2021 Nightshade as well, I have the Nittos on my Avalanche and can be noisy.

Guy at Toyota is full of sh**

Finally completed. I love the way it looks. As far as noise from the toyo AT vs stock geolander, its almost no difference at all. I have not been on the highway yet so I can update that. The cornfed 2/1" makes all the bumps feel like absolute @$$. You can feel everything and hear everything. This isn't blasting cornfed product but more so the nature of the beast. We probably all got the nightshade/limited for the comfort portion rather than the pure offroading.

I took the chance on spacers cuz this was brand new car and I didnt want to go the icon route just yet. Mixed feeling right now. I guess it's true what they say, buy once cry once.

**edit - photo is above**

Looks really good, especially with the roof rack. (Really hope next gen 4R comes with full roof rack, even street SUV's have full racks now.)

Re change in ride quality, it should not be from the spacers. Ride quality comes from springs and shocks, and preload of the springs if you have adjustable ride height shocks like Bilstein 5100's. Since they're just spacers, they don't mess with the preload of the springs and literally just push the struts and rear springs down away from their mounts.

You're probably feeling the effects of the new tires honestly. What air pressure are they at?

You don't have to change anything to install spacers with the XREAS suspension. If you go above a 1" spacer, you will need to use spring compressors I believe. If you're just looking to level the truck then a 1" spacer up front should be all you need, but check with Cornfed on that.

I have a 2010 Limited I bought used that had 3"/1.25" spacers and it drove great until I replaced all of it. Had 33's on 20in aftermarket wheels, but I switched to 17's and 285/70R17's shortly after I got it since I use it to off road.
