Very nice job! Your truck looks really neat and looking for some dirt roads!!

Dang! That's my question and I can't believe you didn't post that info.

What tire size? Did you have to cut anything? Have you articulated the wheels fully to see if any rub?

What size lift?

The world waits...

What are the white plastic round pieces? I thought the kit is all metal.

Nice lift. I finally saw the picture lifted 4runner with stock size tires.

They are not size tire's , so what do you mean ? I don't understand.

Here are some more photos and I hope I clarify everything here.

The white plastic piece is UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), this has been discussed before:

It is kind of tippy with the stock tires after the lift but it is much better now after the BFG installed.

There is no rubbing and no cutting at all with 265/70/17 tires.

I didn't recalibrate my speedo since it is only 3.4% diff. here is the thread for that:

They are those strips of lead around your tire. They should have some numbers on them. I believe you front passanger side seems to have a good amount on it. Take some pics if you can. I forget the numer on mine but I had 3to4" per tire and only on one section. Some of my tire needed almost two sections of this crap. It pitted my wheels up reel good.

I hear there is sum new stuff like small bean bags of sand they through inside the tire. My buddy put them on his 37 M/T and are doing well.

Here is the pic for the weight, you can tell it's more weight now compare the old mark(red circle).

Looks good and tks for the info.

My 04 will need new shoes soon. I already have the lift and always buy the BFGs. Too bad they don't make them in 275/70. I bet that would be perfect. Still, the 265/70s are a 1" increase in diameter and I'll take every 1/2" of lift I can get.

My bad. Stock tires are P265/65R17. Yours are 265/70/17. Your new tires are 1" bigger in diameter than stock. They look great. I ordered the Cornfed lift and thinking about to use stock tires until they wear out.
