Do you know what lift kit you have? And is there any sort of rubbing with those 285’s? I recently got a stock 19 SR5. I’m putting the black TRD Sema wheels on it next week and will probably do a lift and bigger tires when it comes time to replace them.

I'm a novice with 4runners, but I'm learning. I enjoy researching information.
Upon closer inspection it appears that it only has a leveling spacer on the front. The rear looks original.
Wheels are Mickey Thompson "Deegan 38", don't know the width or backspace.
Tires are Toyo "Open Country A/T" 285/70r17.
There's one spot on the left front inner splash guard that shows sign of rubbing, I have heard it on compressed right turns. Inner fender mod should solve that.

So today I finally bought a tire gauge for this vehicle.
Explored a few "streets" in my neighborhood. Spun quite a bit in one spot. Backed up and tried a couple different lines and got through. These are actual named streets, roads, drives.
Got to another wash and decided to check my air pressure and probably lower it.
I definitely lowered it. Three tires had 40-45 psi (45 max on sidewall), one had 37 psi. They are now all 30 psi.
Going to make the kit to equalize, lower, inflate all 4 at once.
Videos of today to follow (film at 11)

I still can't start a new thread but I can say congratulations on your new rig! I just bought my first 4Runner on Tuesday, an 07 SR5 all black, with roughly 70K miles, driven by a school teacher to work and back since she bought it.

I greeted other fellow nobodies to get my post count in a meaningful way

My house is pretty much offroad.
With moderate rain (hey, it hsppens) we can't leave the house with 2wd until the water runs its course through the washes.

Nice Runner and welcome. I just joined yesterday and hope to learn and share.
My son and and I were in Mesquite Nevada this year so I can picture the landscape. Looks like fun riding
