Delimma : 285-75-17 Or 285-70-17 Lift 4"

I am getting the 4" spindle lift for my front and aal and block for rear. Truck is 2009 2wd TRD The 285-70-17 are almost 33" and the 285-75-17 are almost 34" the tires are what I found on here to be popular the LT285/75-17 COOPER DISCOVERER AT3 (almost 34") or the LT285/70R17 E Nitto Terra Grappler (almost 33") I donot go off road on purpose. All highway miles. My question is how much difference will the 1" make if I go with the 285-75-17 ???Thanks

When I first got in my truck after putting on the 285s it did feel a little sluggish.

That went away within a couple days and it feels totally normal now.

Here is a really great thread for the Maxtrac spindles. Id suggest going with Dakar leaf packs and Bilstein B110 extended rear shocks.

Happy lifting and holler if you've got any other questions!

 

One more ???? My truck has the factory 16's wheels now. I bought new 17's Tacoma take offs I think from a 2017, will they have enough backspace? Or was it wasted $$$$$

 

Hmmm, without knowing the specific model wheel and its specifications it's hard to say.

I ran my stock 17" TX Edition wheels with my spindle setup for a while with no issues.

Depending on what backspacing those have, you may need a small wheel spacer.

That being said, I have seen guys run a 16" wheel with the spindles.

Try asking in that thread I linked. There's members in there that have more knowledge than me on that subject.
