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

I find it interesting that we all seem to crouch down for photos after a lift install and/or taller tires

What size are the Wildpeaks?

265/70r17

They were bigger than I anticipated. Very happy with them. Super quiet and ride awesome. I will have to adjust caster or mod the splash guards to avoid rubbing in parking lot turns. Which wasn't even rometeoy a problem with the stock wheels and tires.

Looks good, but I'm surprised you are rubbing with that size. I have Cooper AT3s the same size and nowhere near rubbing.

Yeah, I agree, you shouldn't have any rubbing with that size and your lift. I have the Tacoma swap suspension and Goodyear Ultra Terrains in 265/70/17 and don't have any rubbing.

Appears to be a caster issue. UCAs are likely coming soon. Driver's side is rubbing on the mud flap. I was able to use a heat gun to modify the mud flap enough for 1 or 2mm of clearance for now.

Oddly enough it handles fine even at highway speed. I haven't done the alignment yet as I just got the lift done 2 weeks ago and I didn't have any real issues on stock tires. I'll phone a friend and get some time on a rack. I'm sure all the cam bolts are seized. But it's worth trying. Knowledge is power.

They do look quite a bit larger. Looks good though!

I’m struggling myself if I should go with (Duratracs) 275 65/18 or 265 65/18 I don’t want to deal with adding spacers or BMC.
 
Just put on a lift and tires/wheels over the weekend. I'll take final measurements once it settles a bit. Overall very happy with the handling and slightly firmer suspension (stock springs and shocks had 174k miles on them so they were shot anyway).

There's very slight rubbing to the front fender liner that I'll push forward soon, otherwise absolutely no issues with this wheel/tire/suspension setup.

Specs: Bilstein 5100's all around. Front OME 2884 Springs, Rear Wheelers T12 Springs & 2nd Gen sway bar links. Left rear 10mm spacer. Wheels are off a 2016 Trail Edition and tires are Cooper S/T Maxx 255/80r17.

Thanks to everyone on this thread who has posted; the info was very helpful in selecting components for my lift!

Are your original the stock 265/65R/17’s in your picture?


Yes, but the picture is deceiving because the new Falkens are in front of the old Goodyear Assurance tires making them look bigger than they are.

I am going to pull the truck into the shop tonight and put the old wheels up next to the new ones on the truck for reference.

Ok, ya they look a few sizes bigger for sure! Definitely look good though. I’m getting ready to order tires myself today or tomorrow. Just compared some 265/70/17 next to my 265/65/17 and looked near the same size, not like the big difference in your pic. lol.

So here's the stockers in front of Falkens

With mud flaps removed I have all kinds of room. Problem solved. I like the look too. 20200224_163213.jpg20200224_163352.jpg

Looking good sir. Stock UCAs? Any issues getting it aligned?
 
2007 V6 Sport
265/70r17 wildpeaks at3w

Stock suspension for the moment. I'll update when I decide on which lift, and get it on.

Had to take off the front mudflaps but otherwise no rubbing.

Unfortunately sitting at the shop waiting for an alignment so I haven't got to drive it yet, but it looks fantastic.
 
2003 4runner Lift

- Lift brand & size/style: 3" Toytect BOSS Suspension Lift + 3" 4crawler Body Lift
- Tire brand & size: 35x12.5" BFGoodrich KO2's mounted on 17x9" Helo HE878 Wheels with 1.25" spacers
- Like the results? Absolutely! I haven't had time to fully test its offroad capability, but I'm sure it's insanely better. Suspension is a little stiff now, but that's expected, especially without the extra weight of a steel bumper yet

What did you do about the steering shaft for that much body lift?

Steering Shaft Extension for Body Lift

What did you do about the steering shaft for that much body lift?

The body lift came with a steering extension. I will say though, it was a little bit of a pain to install because of how tight of a fit it is. At 3", there's just barely enough room to get it in there, and at some points, almost not enough room to work. It took some finagling, but we eventually got it put together
