I ordered some American Racing Rims Mojave rims in 17in along with toytec top plate spacers to level it all out.

nice!
you're gonna love the wheels! make sure you get the right center caps... the one's with the 'X' on them!

how much did the spacers run if you don't mind me asking?
 
The spacers are the toytec top plate spacers the website says they provide 3/4 of lift but when I installed them on my 04 SR5 a few years back it actually raised it 1.5 inches the spacers run 59.99 plus 10 bucks shipping. They are going to run me about 200 to have them installed and alignment done. here is the link to the spacers Front Top Plate Spacer Kit - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits. Tonkat did you use the stock tpms on your new rims?

Ok so my rims showed up at my friends shop today they sent him the wrong size so it will be another few days. But my leveling kit showed up and is getting put on sat morning. Kinda curious to see what it looks like haven't seen a leveled 5th gen yet.

that's not bad for the spacers+install... thanks for the info!

Yes, we used the stock TPMS on the new wheels... no problems so far with the lights coming on.
 
Ok so busy day today got it tinted silver star high and low beam luminics yellow fog lights. And ordered my in-channel westin vent visors. Tomorrow leveling kit goes on! After the leveling kit goes on and my rims show up I will post some pics
 
I emailed toytec on the spacers for a limited and they said I should get the springs instead to actually level it.

The springs are a 2in lift so it might end up being nose high. I talked to them the day I ordered them and said the top out spacers fine. The top out spacers won't change the ride either since they aren't preload style spacers. I had the top out spacers on my 04 and it leveled it perfect

Ok well here are the results the top out spacer from toytec actually lifted the front 2in from 34 1/4 to 36 1/4 at the fender well as mentioned before it doesn't affect the ride since it is a topout spacer took them alittle longer due to the huge sway bars next week the rims should be on. Let me know what you guys think

that does look better! would like to see some more (less dark) pics!
 
What's the measurement to the rear wheel well? Would you consider it "leveled". Are you happy with the spacers?
 
The rear is at 37 1/4 the spacer isn't a big preload spacer it is actually only about a half inch think and gets bolted to the top of the strut so it rides like just as good as factory I had the same spacer on my 04 for about 2 years or so never any problems. It must be the photo for you sandcrawler but it is defiantly 2 inches higher up front then stock.

How difficult is the install of these spacers?
 
Thanks. Just curious if anyone has done this themselves? It appears that all you need to do is drop the suspension and remove the struts from the towers to put the spacers in?? Am I correct?
