    Well, this is the lift that I have chosen due to my budget, needs and lifestyle. My questions to those of you that have taken this route is, has the ride improved on and off-road over stock suspension? I will be putting 265's or 255's Cooper ST Maxx's on with this setup. Any input with pics or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    It settled at about 2.3".

    MPG around town: 17

    Highway: 19

    Highway with that damn RTT on top: 15-16. Doesn't seem to matter much putting around town, but on the interstate at 75+ with the tent it gets thirsty.

    Looks great. I've been thinking about 255s as well.

    Modded it so much it turned into a 4Runner
    I'm looking at the same lift option. I've reviewed pretty much all that's available for the '16's. My '13 was a completely different lift setup so I'm anxious to get the OME shocks and 886's installed. I'm probably going to run 255/85R16 Cepek Extreme Country tires.
