Yes you will have no problems at all. The stock 265/70/16, if you have the larger size, is about a 31" tire, going up to a 265/75/16 gives you about a 32" tire. You could technically make that upgrade without changing anything. I actually just added the PP springs and Bilsteins to my 02 and it has plenty of room for larger tires now, I would bet I could fit a 33 under there with minimal if any rubbing issues, under normal driving conditions of course.
PP Springs and shocks
Hey guys, 1st post here. Decided to join up since there is some great info available.
I'vd been considering the PP springs and bilstein shocks for rear of my 2000 SR5 2wd to lift the sagging rear end. Will the bilsteins be alot more stiff than the stock? I've read that they stiffen up the ride,,,, I worry about just how much.
How about the Monroe shocks I've read about, are they a better choice to smooth out the ride? This mod wont rack the stance will it? I want my 4R to remain level. Thanks!

I have been pleasantly surprised by them, I was expecting a bone jarringly stiff ride but that is not the case. They do ride stiffer, but not harsh by any means, they are progressive rate, so they start out a bit on the comfort side until you really start cycling the suspension. I have noticed the truck feels slightly wallowy, hard to describe, but I attribute that to the added height not the stiffness. Cornering is much improved. Last Runner I had was an 00 and I just added the Billsteins, doing the springs and shocks feels better as they seem to complement each other, if you want a little height, no CV angle issues, decent off road performance and good on road I recomend this set up. Install was pretty easy as well, just took a little muscle to get the rear springs into place.
Bravo1, I recomend at the very least doing the Billsteins at all 4 corners, same for the springs really, my truck rides pretty much flat with a slight rake, where as it was saggy before, so doing all 4 should solve you issue, the rake may be too extreme if you just do the rear.

The PP coils are actually H&R coils made in Germany and they are made specifically for the Bilstien shocks thus they work so good together.
On the street the PP setup is pretty nice and keeps the 4Runner from experiencing so much lean in corners but that does translate to a rougher ride off road. I was thinking PP but I'm leaning toward going with the OEM lift from Slee Offroad since that setup allows a little softer rebound when hitting rough spots.

I am running LT 265/75/16s on my stock suspension without ever rubbing. So do I have nearly 32"s. Silly question I know but when tires sizes go from the xxx/xx/xx to 32x10.5 it confuses me.
