OME/ToyTec coils and BFG mudders!

do you want to keep your wheels now or get new wheels? this will depend on what tire you buy too

I would get either OME (for budget), or for a little more, Sonoran Steel's 7.2 or 1.2 system. Those guys know 4Runners. Have never heard a single complaint from buyers. Very quality set up. If I had a 4Runner, it'd be a no-brainer for me. I'm probably going to get their Tacoma front suspension kit.

Also, do NOT get a spacer lift. Rides like crap. Save up and do it right.
 
Here's a question...does a 2.5 or 3" lift look bad with 265's? I'm looking to install a lift as my next mod, but I won't need tires for at least another year...and I won't be able to afford them if I buy the lift.

Will it look silly?

I don't really want the wider tires, but I do want the lift.

Sorry to threadjack!
 
Yes the wife drives it daily she thinks its rough but I like the way it rides but then again I have always driven 4x4 trucks
 
really, what rock have you been under ? lol
BTW, I ran spacers for 3 years, Id never say it rode like crap..

another vote for www.toyoteclifts.com

And are you suggesting your spacers ride equal or better than OME or SS? In the same ball park?

All the ones I've had experience with, it rode like crap. Literally. I'm glad you're trying to promote your product, but I have no affiliates to suck up to. I would never suggest spacers for a quality lift.

what are the largest tires i can run with a 4 inch lift

Are you trying to get bigger tires to look cool or for function? Do you really need a 4" lift? Do you need tires bigger than 33's? 32's? 31's? What kind of wheeling do you do?
