Very little rub almost nonexistent but had to do a body mount chop and some trimming which is pretty standard going up to a 285/70r17. I do rub just a hair at full lock backing up going up hill.

Lift: Toytec/Eibach 3inch lift in the front, Toytec Superflex with Boss shocks in the rear.

Tires: 285/75r16 Hankook Dynapro MT

I like this lift however, I really would like to have Fox 2.5” external reservoir coilovers up front and 2.5” external reservoir shocks in the back. It will happen. Lol

Pro-tip: Flip your monitor/phone around - not your head. I figured that one out while hanging upside-down trying to look at one.

I do and resave them and when I post goes back to the original orientation. Drives me bonkers to... so not sure what gives

I could finally justify getting rid of my E load 285/70R17 Trail Grapplers as they had about 35-40k on them. Today I installed 285/70R17 AT3W’s in a C load. The difference in the ride quality is night and day. I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner. For 5 years I thought it was my wheels that were giving me vibrations above 45mph, turns out it was those shitty tires. Finally enjoyable to drive my 4runner again. This is what happens when you don’t buy the right tires for your application. Never again.

Thanks! They're RCI off-road slides.

Thanks! They're RCI off-road slides.

If I’m not mistaken they have a coupon code/group buy right now. Comes to under $700 shipped for the set like he’s got if you paint them yourself! Look in the classifieds under group buy for the code.

EDIT: SpringGB15 for sliders, valid until Sunday the 5th.

Need help

Hi all,

I was going to create a new post, but I'm new to the forum so need my 15 posts so hoping I can get some feedback here in the meantime. I have an '05 4runner that just got a clean bill of health and the wife bought another car so I get to play with this one. I want to turn it into a decent offroad machine while also able to drive around town.

Basically the only thing I know is that I want a 3" lift and have already ordered rock sliders. I need shocks, wheels and tires. I found a blog with a picture of a truck I liked and here is the build they have:
-FJ 16/7.5 wheels
-BFG KO's in 265/75R16, Donahoe Racing Coilovers with a 2.5" life adn rear 2.0 shocks and 2" lift springs (now known as ICON vehicle dymanics).

I don't know what any of this means or if these are good parts? Do you guys have an opinion on these or is there somewhere I could learn more about this? Basically just wanting to get the car done and go play with it....I'm a noob at mechanical stuff on cars... Really appreciate any feedback!
