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

Wheels:
* LT255/80R17 Toyo Open Country AT2
* Spidertrax

Front:
* Bilstein 6112
* 1.5" Cornfed Spacer
* JBA UCAs
* New OEM LCAs
* 5th gen rotors & calipers

Rear:
* Bilstein 5160
* Dobinson C59-505
* Rear driver side spacer
Really digging this look and potential setup for my '06 daily. Currently have level kit and Spidertrax on the way. If you did it over, anything you'd do differently?
 
Been a long time coming waiting to put some suspension on my truck, but I'm super happy that I took the time to do this one right.
Setup:
-Toytec Boss (3/2 front/back)
-Total Chaos UCA's
-Falken Wildpeak at3/w in 275/65/18
-Also have 1.5" wheel spacers

FYI 275/70s would not fit with the back spacing of these 5th gen SR5 wheels.
What do you mean that they don't fit? I have my 275/70 Wildpeaks on the same wheels. Only rubbing I get is when reversing at almost lock.

BUT, the tires are about proportionally larger with the lift, and it makes the 4Runner look almost stock in photos.

I hate that effect. I have 265/70R17s and a 2.5-3" lift and it honestly looks pretty normal until I park next to a stock 4Runner. Then you can really see the difference :D
 
I don't disagree. I think it would look better if it had bumper and sliders. I think you are right that 265/70R17 is the sweet spot until you do more modifications.

Looking Good!

How do you like the ride on your set up? I'm also considering that tire size when I upgrade, seems like a decent compromise in size for daily drive and off road. What load rating are they?

It rides really well. I don't really get much wandering or anything as the UCA's have some built in caster. As for the toytec coils/struts, they handle better than my stock suspension did (stock was at about 108k miles).
As for the tires, they're 116T rated (I'm 95% sure, can't check right now).
But yeah, it's a nice setup and should work for daily driving and the occasional wheeling. Although after installing it my truck sits taller/is bigger than I really expected it to be, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
 
Yeah, I do rub on the front side of the fender liners. I'm gonna either move the entire liner forward this weekend or take a heat gun to it and try to bend it forward a bit.

Cool, thanks for the info. I think for the first time I have a pretty good idea the set up Im going for.

They rubbed on the JBA UCAs significantly. Was trying to fit them on with the wheel at half turn and we couldn't get it over the lugs.

I am still in the decision phase for tires and lift and honestly can't see the lift difference in some of these pics. They look line normal 4runners. Many have had 3 inch lifts. I guess that's why most seem to go with 285 or larger tires. This is my assumption but it sounds logical.
 
Finally able to install the stage 2 Icon and swapped out to SCS Ray 10s with 285/70r17 KO2s

Oh man those look amazing!
I have a set of black Ray10's ready to go on but those bronze look good.
I have bounced back and forth between black and bronze as I was worried the shadow mica wasn't quite black so might look weird with the bronze but these look pretty great.
Share more pics!!

Yeah, I parked next to a stock (or close to stock) ride height Tacoma yesterday that had larger tires (probably 33/35s. Not sure what those fit stock). They made it look obviously modified and pretty tall.

When I walked away and looked back from a distance, we had the same amount of clearance. His tires just made the look for him.
