Anyone with a 3" lift on a 3rd Gen 4Runner?

[Jay]

Guys, ive looked in the gallery, and searched, but it comes up with a bunch of random threads. Im wanting to lift my 2001 4Runner, but i want to get an idea of what it might look like with a 3 inch lift. Also, what size tires are you guys running with that lift, post pics if you got'em, thanks guys.

Here's an old pic but this is pretty much a 3" lift give or take.

Sweet, exactly what i was looking for. So does this 4Runner have the 286/75/16's on it?

I think they are 33x12.5's, not sure if the rims is 15 or 16.

Nice, what size tires you running?

265/75/16. Some have claimed to be able to run 285's but the few around me had to do BL's to clear so I'm not sure why some can fit them w/o rubbing and others can't.

If I do go to a new tire size, I've seen a 275/75/16 Yokohama MT that I'm considering.

i have the Old Man Emu 2.5" lift kit and i clear 33" (285/75/16) with little rubbing, dont believe me? here is a pic at tellico at full stuff in both the front and the rear, didnt jerk just rolled right over it like it wasnt even there, OME makes a great lift....

Runnerup,

Did you do any trimming or just slap those bad boys on?

 

[RunnerUp]

did some minor trimming so it wouldnt hit the body, it still rubs just a little on the frame and the upper A arm, both of which i can deal with for now... it flexes so much with those tires on....

here are two more pics showing full stuff in the front and the back

1999, OME 891, Toytec front spacer, 2inch BL. I now have LC wheels on it with 285's. This picture has the stock wheels with 265's.

 

[ROOFGOOF]

Here is my new 285's and LC wheels. Hope this helps.

 

[Jay]

Definatly looks better with the LC wheels, very nice.

 

[RunnerUp]

what did you do with the 4runner wheels?

 

[ROOFGOOF]

I still have my Limited wheels...but I am going to hang on to them for now. Thanks for the compliments.
