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

The ride is amazingly better. I am extremely happy with the choice to do this swap.

Im looking to upgrade my daystar kit as well. I didn't think the 6112's gave that much lift up front. You look like you're at about 3in's. Looks great. Did it settle at all?
Do you have stock size tires?

I do have the lifts and leveling kits on sale as we speak, lifetime warranty to never settle. 4th Gen 4Runner Lifts & Leveling kits at Burtman Industries

2/1 leveling kit came out awesome. It sits perfect and alignment even stayed the same.

Above is a 2/1 if you want to go with a little more than a leveling. I can also make ANY SIZE you want custom.

Subtle but sexy

I recently completed my very mild transformation with wheel spacers, one-size-taller tires, and a 1.5" front spacer lift. The result, I feel, is how Toyota should have set these trucks up from the factory, and I love it. I was tempted to go with bigger tires, all terrain tires, and a bigger lift, but I really did not want to change the way this thing handles and decrease mpg. I wish there was a tire that looked just like the BFG AT but performs like these Michelin Defenders.

What do you think?

Before and after:

Look into the BFG Rugged Terrains...they’re a compromise of Highway and offroad and not too bad on price either...$127 each when I got them a few months ago
 
New tires, the General Grabber ATX. We took them up to Mammoth last week and got after it in the powder. I'm loving this tire so far, it has great on road performance and it feels softer than the KO2s I used to have. Traction was awesome around town and out in the woods during the blizzard that hit last week.

First time posting my 4th gen (sold my 3rd)

Finally after 3 months of owning this thing I got my lift, and wheels and tires on.

5100s on all 4 corners with OME 885 fronts (no 1/4" spacer yet...) and Toytec Superflex in the rear

17x9 -38 SCS F5 Gunmetal // Lt285/70r17 Falken Wildpeak AT3


Dropped it off at MULE to get the BMC done and to clean up the $h!tty bumper trimming I did lol

My compromise tire was the Michelin Defender A/T which has a more aggressive look but is supposed to have good road manners - for an A/T tire.
I am glad I went for the Michelin Defender LTX. It's a bummer that it looks like it came off a minivan, but the ride is so quiet and smooth!

I may be interested in your Daystars. I'm local too, brah! lol

I'm higher than 3" with the setup I have. I did have a little bit of settle, it was a little higher when I first installed. But the pic you see is the settled height.
No, I have 32.1" currently. The stock size are 30.5"

Love those wheels. Deep lip and offset look mean!

Did you have any issue with they KYBs lining up with the bolt bracket on the LCAs? My driver side went in fine, but the passenger side is not lining up. I read that they can be turned/twisted with a steel rod or 3/8" extension.

The KYB installation was a PITA mostly due to rusted bolts. I had to get help from a more skilled neighbor as once I was into the installation, I was having a hell of a time. However, we did not have an issue with either side lining up. Sorry I am no help there.
 
What offset are y’all running to clear 285 75r17’s on 8.5” wide wheels with 3” of lift
