[4Runner8]

thanks bro i test fit some 285/75/16's today at work, fit nicely, a little snug to the back of the wheel well. here is a pic. i want to run 305's though so ill need some more trimming

sorry for shitty phone pics

here is the closest to it touching so ill def need to shave that plastic off for the wider 305

 

[Autbond]

wow, that sits a lot higher than it did with the 265's. Or at least it looks like it. You are probably going to have to chop the body mount for those 305's to fit. But it will look good for sure.

 

[4Runner8]

bro im 1 step ahead of ya haha and yea its higher, in the pic its just the front driver side installed and it made a big rake to the rear haha, cant wait to get the new tires

This is my 07 SR5 4Runner before and after photos. I opted for Firestone Destination ATs since this is my drive to work vehicle and most of my time is spent in 15 MPH traffic. They are 285 70 17s.

We are planning a trip in the 4Runner this summer, so road noise during that was a concern for tire choice. These tires are amazingly silent, but still have a nice tread pattern. I'll get 4 more when I wear these out. Love em.

The lift is a 3" Toytec Ultimate with the additional 1" body kit. I have Spidertrax spacers as well. I love the lift. After some light plastic trimming I have zero rubbing short of full flex. It rides smooth, handles fine, as is not too stiff or too bouncy. I believe it is right where it should be and I am an extremely happy customer!

I did not install it myself. A shop in Clute, TX did it for me and they treated me right.

My next mods will be a Shrokworks bumper and bigger brakes. After that a roof rack.

Distant future mods are a winch, then the TRD supercharger, rooftop tent, then maybe some wheels like dreadog's. Those are sweet! Your truck looks righteous dreadog.

You folks have some sweet trucks. Thanks for all the good info on this site. I look forward to hanging out with y'all a while.

Be safe,
Randy

urs look sweet?
just wondering how much lose of gas millage after the lift ???

 

[jmnral]

well it's nothing too special but i finally got some spidertraxx on the front a rim/tire combo from a 2000 and got them installed the other day.
my girl did all the work since she had no idea how to change a tire, i told here, well here is a chance to do it 4 times WITH a torque wrench. so far my wheels have not fallen off.

hey man hows it going. i like the rims, just wish i had that 5th one to be complete but when you find your 5th, i'll get my 5th i suppose. not planning on painting it black any time in the future but will be painting the bumper pieces black to match the grill. i had to buy spacers for the front wheels because of the backspacking caused a rub on the caliper but all is well and done right now.

thanks again!

My 08 Runner after Toytech 2 1/2 inch leveling kit, with Dunlop 265"s










and of course, the "ride" didn't get worse, I honestly prefer the "lifted" ride over the stock ride..

 

[8086bruce]

Just wanted to post a pick in here. 07 SR5 4wd full fj set up with bilsteins and a 1/4 spacer in the front and 265/70/17 timberline a/t II tires.

 

[4Runner8]

305/70/16 goodyear duratracs check sig for suspension

 

[Autbond]

Looks great man! That thing is sitting so much higher now. The 305s look great, I was surprised to find out you went with the duratracs. You will have to let me know how they ride and everything.

 

[borgzman]

305s ? r u kidding me!

seriously, with the wheel spacers it looks perfect!

4Runner8, where did you get the "Pre Runner" badge?

 

[Nashvillerunner]

Wow dude that looks AWESOME! Makes those General Grabbers look like go cart tires!

GYSA 255/75/17
Spidertraxx

Aside from some rubbing, it is absolute perfection. For me anyway.
