    First off I know spacer talk here is taboo. Heres what I want to do with my truck.....

    I want a little more aggressive stance and my dealer suggested a 3"/2" Readylift with 275/70/17 BFG E rated tires and said they put them on all the time which is true as they have one on the showroom floor right now so I was able to look it over. I feel as far as a spacer lift goes this is to much ( I would think ) . My other option is doing a 2"/1" spacer lift.

    I don't want a suspension lift since I trade my truck every 3 years and don't want to stick that kind of money into a lift I'll have to take off and try to sell in 3 years. The dealer is ok with trucks being traded with a spacer lift especially if they put it on. I put on about 25k miles per year and would like to put on this 2/1 lift with 4Runner Pro Wheels and only going up to 265/70/17 BFG or GY Dura as I want to run a "C" rated tires.

    I have a 17 DCSB OR 4x4 and when we go up north I generally take our 4Runner trail edition anyway. I know both vehicles are pretty capable in stock form , just want to give it a little boost.

    Will I be OK with the 2"/1" ? Is the 3"/2" with the 275/70/17 E rated tires to much for this truck. NO I don't want 5100's ..... been there done that. If I kept my trucks longer I would do an OME or ICON.

    Thoughts please
    Thank you

    I’m not seeing a ready lift 2/1 just a 3/2.

    Personally I would go with 265/70/17 4runner pro with KO2’s and stick with stock height. I get asked all the time if its lifted. I think the black on the fender flares gives the illusion of more distance in the wheel well.

    2/1 should be fine with 275’s.
