I recently had a Daystar leveling kit installed on my 2008 4runner. Right after I notice a new creaking / groaning noise coming from the rear of the vehicle underneath when coming to a stop from backing up and then again as the vehicle begins moving forward. Once in motion for more than a few...

I have no trouble making some slight modifications or trimming to fit the tires. More curious of if the larger circumference of the 255/70/18 would be MORE prone to rubbing than the 265/65/18 which is a little wider, but not as tall. I guess the 255's are known as "pizza cutters" because they...

Great, thanks for the info. I'm going to have to give up on BFG AT's and look for something hopefully in C or D range. Great looking ride by the way. Super clean!

Sounds like the slightly smaller tires may be the way to go to avoid a hassle. Aren't those BFG's load range E? I was hoping to find some in range C, but those appear to be for 17" rims. Load range E is a bit more than I need.

So, I am having a Daystar 2.5/1 lift/leveling kit installed tomorrow on my 2008 Limited. Reading through the sticky threads on suspension / tire sizes, it appears that I could get away with up to a 32" tire. My question is with these rigs is it the diameter of the tire that causes most of the...

Hi. I have a 2008 V6 4runner with just over 100k miles. I recently notice that the idle when at a stop light (in drive) will suddenly drop to just over 500 rpm from about 800. This creates a really low rumbling sound, which I initially thought was a big semi stopped next to me until I noticed it...

Tahuya has a lot of excellent trails. Most of them would be fine with a stock 4 Runner as long as the driver has decent skills. Take it nice and slow and should be fine. There are some very impressive climbs that the rock crawler guys play around on . It's a great place to explore and test your...

Thanks for the photos. I think a mild lift would be appropriate to balance the look after seeing these pictures. As for wheels, I don't mind the 18's and don't really want to spend extra on wheels too. Been looking for take-offs, but slim picking. I think the spacer lift could solve the look...

Thanks! You got any photos of the rig without the tires stuffed, just so I can see the look of it?

Thanks. I did read through that post a few times as well as several others. What is stumping me is that the 255/70 appears to be newer to the market so there isn't much info on them with the 4th gen 4 runners. Was hoping they would fit without rubbing, but maybe a leveling kit is the answer to...

Newbie just trying to get the ropes. Have a new to me 2008 Limited with XREAS. Great tires on her now, but a bit too street style for my taste. Looking for a larger tire without having to lift right away. Stock are 265/60/r18 which measure a smidge over 30". The 255's are 32.1" but a tiny bit...

Cause I just did this... I just went through this too. I have experience with the Kuat and the 1UP. Friends have both so I was able to mess around with each one before making my decision. First of all, get ready to spend some coin, as either of these and all quality racks will set you back...
