Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

Any issues with rubbing the UCA with 265/70/17? I am running 885Es in back and FJ/5100 (.80) in front, resulting in a 1+/1.5 lift. I am considering 265/70 vs. 255/75...

it doesn't matter, neither of those tires are wider than stock. unless you're at full droop often, i wouldn't worry too much about contacting the UCA, and if you do, a set of wheel spacers easily solves the problem
 
Hi Guys First post on here I got my rig for a few month and just installed the bilsteins 5100 set at 1.75 and ff springs all around, daystar 1.5 in rear.

very pleased with the result.

I still have a new front daystar 2.5 if someone is interested.

I love it! I am looking to do the same thing soon. 1.5 rear just enough to get you a little positive rake? You diy

Debating wether to put the steps back on or leave them off. Any thoughts?
 
I can finally post here! Lift - FJ TT springs all around, Bilstein 5100's all around with fronts set on 2.5", Daystar rear 1.5" FJ spacer and BFG KO's 265/70/17's

How does it ride with the front at 2.5? are you thinking of going down to 1.75 in the front?

I've got fj springs and 5100's at 2.5, and its certainly firmer than stock, at slow speeds it is a bit rough, but once you're over 30mph, its so smooth and comfortable

Here's what I'm concerned with...going with slightly wider tires. Anyone with 265/70/17 (no spacers) post a pix?

Update: think I found my answer...think someone already answered this too. My current tire (265/65/17) width is 10.7".....265/70/17 are the same width (at least the tires I'm looking at).

The shop installed them straight out of the box and is doing height adjustments after it settles. I will be adding about an inch to driver front to eliminate the "Toyota Lean".

Plenty new mods that I've added since I last posted a pic of my 4R.

I'm not done yet, still awaiting my sliders and tire carrier (you reading Rodel :thumb3: ) and also a Baja Rack and some PIAA fogs .... then I'll take a break.


This is one bad ass 4runner!

Finally went to Discount Tire and got me some 265/70/17 GY Wrangler A/T Adventures with Kevlar.

So far not so bad...compared to my 265/65 GYSA I had before....

Torn on which lift to use - Daystar or Toytec?

I am torn on which lift to use for a little more lift all around. Looking at the Daystar 2.5 front / 1.5 back, or the Toytec 3". I do plan to put bigger tires at a later date and still want to be able to keep a decent ride. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
