    Would this setup look goofy? I am tempted to get this lift done to my SR5 but I don't intend on getting bigger wheels than 265/70 for a while. Also, how are ppl liking this lift, does it affect the ride at all?


    If anyone has this setup, please post a pic. Thank you!

    I don’t think I’d lift a 4g for 32” tires. That’s a stock size for ORs. Just toss em on there. Lifting it would leave a very undersized tire look in my opinion

    Kind of depends on your objectives. The Wescott kit gives you 2.5" lift in the front and .75" in the rear. I assume this makes the truck "level" vs the current nose low configuration. While preload collars (Wescott) are said to be preferred to top hat spacers, perhaps a less aggressive 1 or 1.5" front spacer only would level the truck and meet your needs.

    look through my pics, dont lift the rear....
    The westcott lift is fine...
    Tires size are a tough decision....
    I have 285 70 17...
    I would spend the money on a tire that is one size bigger than stock, not saying it, no idea...
    What's the next size smaller than my 285? Go that route if you dont want to go big....
    You can put a big tire on stock sr5 wheels, lots of guys run the 285 on stock wheels...
