Peak Suspension 2.25" lift & Toyo 35x12.5x17 Open Country AT3s

I finally made the leap and had a 2.25" Peak Suspension 2-PIECE TRAIL KIT – 2.25″ LIFT w/ the 2" lift option in the rear (you can choose between 1" and 2" in the rear). I chose 2" to keep the factory rake. I don't want it sitting like a speed boat when 500-1,000 pounds of weight is in the bed, off the hitch, etc.

I fitted my Black Rhino Fuji wheels with Toyo 35x12.5x17 Open Country AT3 tires.

I always hear people saying that a lift ruined their ride, etc. I'd have to say it's either just as good as before, or slightly better. I did have to remove the factory OEM mud flaps (no big deal) as well as the little piece in the liner (removes with I think three bolts). No rubbing whatsoever...and honestly looks cleaner without the mud flaps.

I could not be happier. I had it installed @ Discount Tire Tire Pros (Massillon, OH). Ask for TireTom. He's a great guy, and runs a solid business.

I'll put a link to the lift under comments...

It looks spectacular. 34s and 35s with a couple inches of lift look perfect on these trucks.

 

Thank you….yeah I always say this is how they should come from Toyota lol…

 

It is. That setup is proportionally perfect. I'd love to do that with mine, I just don't know how great of an idea it would be as a reasonably high mileage daily driver (20,000+ miles a year). I'll probably play it safe and level it with 33's.

What offset are your wheels?

 

I wouldn’t shy away because of the mileage…they run forever. Mine already has 36k on it.
I had 33s on the stock suspension. Although it looks good, it’s a huge upgrade going to 35s and a modest lift…

lemme look that up for ya…

 

+38 Offset Black Rhino Fuji Wheels.

 

Thank you.

 

Yes sir…

 

Man that looks absolutely killer. Awesome choices on everything!

 

Thank you. I watched a lot of YouTube videos to try to get as close to “the right look” as possible. A little bit of luck, probably too. Lol

I was really impressed with the ride. I didn’t expect it to be that smooth. Bonus…

 

It’s such a great feeling when you find the right combination of form and function. That’s what I’m always chasing with my truck.

 

Indeed….and makes it easier to keep it for many many years, which saves ya money in the long run…

 

Exactly!

 

That looks perfect!
Well done.

is the ride any firmer or just as plush as stock? I have the factory 2.5 trd lift on my Off Road and it’s a nice ride but I do feel more road chatter

 

Looks great! You already have 36k miles?! You’re the unsung hero of the 4th gen club! Nice work.

 

I concur with this statement. I am genuinely excited/interested to hear from 4th gen folks once they start crossing 100K and 150K miles.

 

Thank you kindly....

I was just telling the installer today that it's either as good or slightly better. Truly amazed with the end result...

 

Thank you...yeah I do a lot of work-related driving, so they add up quickly....but I do oil changes every 7-8K miles (Toyota says 10K....the internet world says 5K...so I kinda go in the middle). So far she runs like new!

 

I’ll be interested to hear how things go as the miles add up. My oil change intervals tend to be about the same as yours. I try to do every 5K but occasionally it’s closer to every 6 or 7K because of cross country trips.
