285/70r17 on 4th gen, lift or no lift?

bare with me!
I have to bounce between my phone & laptop...
The Westcott lift in the rear lift your truck only 3/4"
That's it!
& with that 3/4" lift in the rear, the back is still higher!!!!
You could do the Westcott lift without an issue at all!!!
The sr may be just a fuzz higher in the front, but everyone is California runs their trucks like that.
Not as extreme as a carolina squat.

Nothing work with eliminating the rake all together...
My current wescottt lift in just the front, if you look from front to back, the front may or may not be higher than the rear.
look from rear forward, back still looks higher.

get a floor jack on the center of your front crossmember & raise the front 2.5" by measure the lip of the top fender lip / wheel well...
See if you like it, that's how it will sit.

I love mine but wish the front was a tad higher, but think the 3rd sport is 1/2" lower than the sr5....
Ill post some pics

 

Last pic was with the powder coated black stock sport wheels with some skate board tires 275 65 18 if I remember correctly….
Do it!!!!
There’s also other options out there, ready lift, and peak suspension. But won’t be 2.5 inches.
As I stated, I think the SR5 and the SR are a little higher in the front than the sport so the 2.5 Westcott lift would look really really good in my opinion. Half an inch taller in the front than mine.
I actually went to the dealer and measured the height of the fender from the ground to wheelwell lip. Wheelwell on the various 2 Wheel Dr. models, the sport SR5, the off-road. I would imagine the SR has the same front suspension configuration as the SR5 measure the wheel height on the SR.
Do the same for the rear on sr & sr5

I love the crew at Wescott, but when it came to them advising me to just do the front, they weren’t helpful at all.
If you do front and rear, there’s still a huge amount of rake as seen in that silver truck I posted,
f that….

 

doesn't look like I have a high quality pic with my sons camera of a total straight shot / side profile other than the crappy last pic....
You can see, dont be scared or listen to the guys here that will say dont do it......
You can easily call your local Toyota dealer parts dept & ask them if the sr & sr5 have the same front strut / coil over assy part #…..
If they say yes, the Westcott lift will work.
peak suspension makes a good product, maybe a little cheaper. You will only get 2 1/4" lift.

Safety systems work fine, zero recalibrations needed as some state they do...

 

Look up connorrfahey on TikTok
He has an sr5, just a Westcott lift front only.
I personally like the stance of his truck better than my own, looks cool af….

 

Also think with peak suspension, you have multiple height options and you can get the front only, combination of top spacer and bottom pre-color. I am 100% satisfied with the Westcott configuration, just sharing everything I know…

 

Ty @slater for the detailed info, pics, and suggestions. Much appreciated.

I will definitely take this into consideration as a future mod. For now, I’m happy with getting new rims and tires, and hopefully this info helps the OP with their decision (if they haven’t made it already).

For now, I’m still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton as I try to get my house back in order. Priority has to be there before additional truck mods (unfortunately).
