Nope no spacers, no rub at all and not close to touching anything.. I like to keep the wheels inside the fenders as much as possible, i love my paint and I dont feel like shooting crap up on it all the time...

I hear ya! The worst is when I get the truck washed, and they rub on the tire dressing, since the spacers, that stuff flings everywhere. Haven't gotten any paint chips "yet" while off road but I'm sure sooner or later I will.
Your also running the stock Upper Control Arms as well? Does the steering wheel want to move a lot when you hit bumps and potholes or does it stay fairly controlled? When I added that size tire to my 08' Tacoma, I got a lot of steering wheel feedback and had to add some aftermarket upper arms.

Just ran out and measured.
FL- 23.5 FR- 23.2
BL-24.5 BR- 24.2
The tires are taller, so that would explain part of the overall height... (edit- I mean in the pictures, obviously not center cap to fender)

looks sa-weet! :bravo:
i'm trying to avert my eyes from those 285s... even after a lift, i plan to get as much out of my 265/70 Duratracs as possible.

That looks amazing. How are the bfg on the street? Noisy? and in the rain?
Also can you tell me what mpg you are getting and possibly what you were getting before you lifted with tires.
lastly, no rubbing or did you mod the fender lining.
best looking lifted new 4 Runner yet. I love the OEM wheels. Killer.
thanks much appreciated.

They are obviously gonna be louder than the factory car tires, but I am very used to the sound, and it doesnt bother me at all, I can barely hear it when im listening to music. They are just fine on the street, you can feel the lugs when you are going less than 5mpg (parking), and they are not as good in the rain as the factory tires but they do just fine.
I just removed the rear mud flap on the front fenders, its 3 screws and took about 20 minutes to do both sides, besides that no rubbing anywhere.
I also experience 0 "tire" steer or control arm steer or whatever we choose to call it from iDRiVaT4R post. I tracks perfectly straight at all times, and even over speed bumps i can drive without hands and it will track straight (im not saying to do that, i just performed an experiment)

I should have the second one delivered this week. Found them both on eBay for a grand total of $60 shipped for the pair (purchased separate). The one that's done does look amazing though :naughty:

I put the sway bar relocates on but havent done the diff drop kit yet......not sure if I need them because i reset the spring load so it wouldnt lift it to the full 3 inches. The drivers side spring is set about a quarter inch tighter to get the front end equal height.......Was wondering if anybody else set up their springs to get equal spacing from the center of hub to bottom of fender???
