Thanks guys, I think it looks really nice! I am going to lower the front a little, but it is set at 3" and I have a 1" diff drop... I don't think I got a full 3" in the back with the 890s. The tires are really quiet on the street! I somehow ended up with load range E Duratracs, so we will see how that works out.
I noticed a little drop in power but it really isn't all that bad. but I have yet to try to merge onto the interstate.

Wow, turned out nicer that I had hoped....:dancin: Rubs a little up front, on the bumper.
WOW!!! That looks awesome with those Duratracs! I hope mine looks at least half as good as yours when I lift it!!:guitar3:

Duratracs in the 285/75-16 flavor only come in E rated. My Dunlops are E rated too and I'm totally over them. They are coming off very soon and getting sold because I absolutely hate the ride - waaaaaaaaaaaay too stiff. It literally feels like I have solid rubber forklift tires on. It didn't bug me as much at first - now I'm ready to tear them off ASAP and get something normal.
The Duratracs and Dunlops are great in snow, but that's all they're good for cuz they're just too f'in stiff for anything else. I aired down my Dunlops to 5 PSI and it made ZERO difference from 45 PSI.

I have the toytec 600lb springs up front and 890s out back so maybe it won't be too bad. I don't think it's been too bad so far...

Wow! That looks really good dude! I love the FJ wheels blacked out and the duratrac wheels look bad ass. Good looking ride!

So what tires can you get in a C or even D load range for a 16" rim? I'm about to get KM2s and they only come in a E, should I reconsider?

Well here's something to consider.. I have a stiff off road suspension set up already so people with saggy stock suspension might not notice at all and others like people with coilovers may not be bothered because of the inherent smoothness of the coilovers. I've never felt KM2s in that size so I can't say how they feel. But Goodyear makes Dunlop and I would venture to guess that the Duratracs ride as stiff as my Maxx Tractions. I do know a lot of people on here like the KM2s in 265s, 285, and 255s and they are all E rated so I dunno. A lot of people like the Duratracs too, but for me personally, I've changed my mind about E rated tires altogether. I'll never buy them for mid-sized vehicle like a 4runner again.
Maxxis Bighorns, Cooper Discoverer STTs, Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs, and Pro Comp M/Ts all come in D to name a few. BTW, I like the way the Coopers look every bit as much as the KM2s.

Cooper STTs look absolutely sick.
my buddy had 35s on his FX4 and when they wore out he had to get 33" ATRs because he didn't want to drop $1300 on a new set of STTs. it made such a difference in the look and height of his truck. it looks tame now compared to how aggressive it used to look.

km2s do come with a load rating of D in 285 and 315 for sure... ive been looking online at them for about a month now.

The 285s on the list are E rated. You must be talking about R17s:

brian: must only be the 315/75/16 with the load range D then.
lignum: stance looks good, i couldnt decide whether to get the 1.25" or 1.5" wheel spacers bc lots of guys told me the 1.5" spacers will rub really bad... well wat spacers did u get? im assuming they arent spidertrax since i dont think they make a 1.5; though i saw some on ebay for cheaper but they dont have the hub centric rim like spidertrax does.

Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings, and much more! | Motorsport Technology are local to me and I can vouch for them. They will make them any size you want for any bolt pattern, any vehicle. They aren't cheap, but I know them personally and I run their 1" hub/lug centric aluminum spacers and they're great.
