nice!
Hello Guys,
I have been searching in the last 150 pg and have not found what i am looking for. I have one of those 06 4wd XSP sold in FL. I have alwasy used the BF G Force kws that are now discontinued. However, after 140 K miles on it and ill like to change to more aggressive tire (I also sold my 6 sp TRD OR Tacoma.)
I am looking to go to either bfg all terrain KM2 or Nitto terra grappers G2s. I still have the WT4 Enkei wheels and stock suspension.
Tire sizes:
Bfg all terrain
1st Choice 275/55/20 (31.9)
Nittos:
2nd choice 265/60/20 (32.4)
3rd choice 275/55/20 (31.9)
4rd choice 265/50/20
I understand from many of the guys running on 18s and 17s that if they go to the 31.9 (275/65/18 or 275/70/17) that you need a lift and maybe wheel spacers.
I like to use Bilsteins 5100 (had them on my taco at 2.5" and 265/65/R16) and probably FJ springs.
Priority is to level the truck and not to rub. I don’t want to use wheel spacers either and i am not sure if i need them for the WT4 Enkei wheels. Thus, i highly need your input to what lift set up to use with my tire options. I assume it is doable and keep in mind i don’t off road this truck. I do maybe some gravel roads.
I know it is a rare set up to put aggressive tires on 20s out here. I never thought of doing this while i had my Taco. But taco is gone

2.5/2 lift
Put on 4 Bilsteins; fronts set at 2.5, and 2" Cornfed spacers in the rear. (Stock springs) Sitting on well worn Coopers, 265/65/17 for the time being.
Before measurements (only did driver's for some reason):
Front Drivers: 18.75
Rear Drivers: 20.50
After measurements (inches):
Front Drivers: 21.75
Rear Drivers: 23.00
Front Pass: 21.75
Rear Pass: 23.00
Will probably run 265/70s or 75 once I have the monies for tires...
Before and after is the first picture. The rest are after.

Nice builds robby655 and hobosapien. Didn't realize I was the 3rd titanium silver to post in a row. Silver and black ftw!! Looks like I should invest in some armor next.

I couldn't take my 4th gen "hovercraft" look anymore!
Put on an OME "low lift" from Slee Offroad. Also running 1.25" Spidertrax wheel spacers. New BFG KO2s to complement the new suspension 275/70 r18, and happy to report no rubbing and alignment dialed in perfectly. Extremely happy with the way it rides, stiffer than stock but way less slop and body roll. It should have come like this from the factory. 2 year old added in for perspective

I just installed 5100's on all four corners last weekend. I set the fronts on the second setting (0.85"). I retained the stock springs all around. The job wasn't too difficult. The only hard part was getting all four wheels off the ground so I could remove the XREAS. All the info on this forum really helped.
I also wrapped the black TRD Pros on BFG KO2 265/70/17's. I have a little rubbing during reverse turns, but will remedy that soon.
Overall, I'm very happy with the outcome. I may go another notch higher up front because it's not completely level. It still has a bit of a stink bug lean.
Hit me up if you have any questions about DIY lift.

Finished my little lift last week. Thanks to all the Tacoma Suspension Swap threads and owners.
2015 Tacoma TRD Sport front springs and shocks all around w/ 15k miles. Rear springs from a 2011 FJ w/ 5k miles. Then added ATX Mojave teflons wrapped in 265/70/17 BFG AT KO. I had some slight rubbing on the front mud flaps and a little on the front of the wheel well liners.
Raised it about 2" in the front, a little under 1" in the back. Then new tires added another 1" to ground -> fender measurement. I have specific numbers if anybody really wants them.
Stock wheels w/ lift(no rubbing):

Any way you can take some side profile shots? This is exactly the setup I am looking to run. My 2006's suspension is very tired and need to firm it up for DD handling as well as hauling gear on extended camping trips. Though I am looking to keep tires a bit more skinny at 265/70/r18.
Sharp looking 4Runner!

I wanted those TE wheels but I ended up getting these wheels. We would have had the same look, but I just have bigger tires.
That looks awesome !

I like the headlights on both of these. I need to replace mine, I can't keep the yellowing out. I feel like I am polishing them every month.
