I was hoping someone can help me, I’m contemplating to get a leveling lift kit…not sure if it would help tho?
I have a stock 2016 limited (7 seater), I did recently put Falken WildPeak A/T3’s 275/60/20 …
If I put in 2” lift in the front and a 1” lift in the back, would this help with the rubbing I’m experiencing?
Also, are there any other things I have to consider with doing this? Will I need new shocks or anything else?
The limited comes with the Xreas shocks
If you have a 4wd, you dont need to go over 1.5" in the front otherwise you have to do a drop down bracket for the front diff. The AWD system locks the front diff in when the axles get at too high of an angle, and anything over a 1.5 will make the diff lock in anytime you hit a bump and at speeds this could potentially break something.
If you have a 2wd you can run a 2.5" spacer up front no problems and you are going to need every inch of that 2.5" up front to get those tires to clear, in reverse you are likely rubbing the fender close to your feet, when you jack the front end up you will move the tire further downward away from this point.
You went from a 31.6" tire to a 33" tire, while that doesnt seem like a ton, the 4runners are pretty sketchy trying to stuff sweet meats under the front and you gotta lift them, move the inner fenders forward, and remove mud flaps pretty much at minimum. Luckily you didnt go too wide, otherwise you'd be in a pickle and need to do some chopping.
If its a 2wd you are going to need a 2.5" at minimum
if its a 4wd you can run a 1.5 without a diff drop
If you have a 4wd and want to go higher, be sure to get the diff drop down brackets
To fit those tires effectively i would run a 2.5" up front and 1" in the rear at bare minimum, or you can go to a 1.5" in the rear if you load it heavy and dont want to be squatting in the rear.
