Toytec Ultimate 3" Lift w/ 265/65-R17 Tires

I tried the search several times, but found nothing on this. So please excuse me if I am being repetitive.

From all that I have read on this forum, it seems that the 3" Toytec Ultimate Lift kit w/ Spidertrax 1.25" spacers is a very good setup to go with (which I plan on doing) and that I basically cannot go wrong with it. I just purchased my T4R (2005 SR5 V8) and it came with Yokohama Geolander A/T-S 265/65-R17s with stock 17" wheels, which have about 80% tread left, so I don't want to buy new tires for at least 6-8 months. Eventually I would like to go with some bigger tires, but not for now.

Would I run into any problems with the lift and that wheel/tire combination? Is there anything, in particular, that I should/shouldn't do or might want to watch out for while running this setup? Would it be a better idea to wait until I am ready to purchase new tires?

In case you need more info about it, this is my daily driver. Most of the driving I do is on-road. However, I do a lot of hunting, fishing, and backcountry skiing/mountaineering (where most of my off-road driving occurs). I occasionally do some recreational off-roading, and will probably do it a lot more often if my car is more capable.

Thanks in advance for your help.

you may rub the factory splash guard (mudflap) with the spidertrax spacers.

I ran a 265/70 BFG AT KO with no spacers, and no rub

once I put on the spacers, I rub a little on the stock mudflap.

Its only when parking, and im going slow anyways, and this can be fixed by trimming the mudflap a bit, or just getting different mudflaps.
 
glock56534,

My buddy Bryan (Pritchnakoff) has...

2004 Sport Edition V6

• ToyTec Ultimate 3"
• Spidertrax Wheel Spacers 1.25"
• LT285/70r17 BFG M/T (KM2)

And since he has the V6 hitch...he was able to cram a full size spare underneath some how.

If you have the V6 hitch...I would do the same thing

...but...

If you have the V8 hitch...I'd probably get the 265/70r17 BFG KO or 255/75r17 BFG M/T (KM)

I love the BFG M/T...so that's my choice.

Thanks for your help. Not sure if this changes your responses, but I misstated the tire size in the original post. Actual tire size is 265/65-R17.

Doesn't change my response at all.

What I would do since you said you still have a lot of meat on your tires...

...get the lift first & run those tires. When it's time to get your tires replaced, comtemplate which route you want to head. If you are going to off-road...get the KM2 or KM. If you don't plan to do much...then get the KO.

Thanks a ton Kenny, I definitely have a V8 hitch. I just got done looking at all of your Bay Area Meet pics, looks like you guys had a blast.
