    5100's all around, OME 887 with 1/4" spacer, icon 3 leaf aal. 255/75/17 BFG KM's on 4runner pro's. Rigid led pods. Debadged and tinted.
    Doubtful, that's a big ass tire for these trucks. Ultimately, tire fitment all comes down to rim fitment, and tire make as the actual size varies greatly from one manufacturer to another.

    Diff drop is debatable, most don't run one. Extended brake lines are not needed.

    Hey guys just read through this entire thread as I am on the hunt for a similar setup for my 2017 DCSB. Great pics! I am just curious though, did anyone have any pics of the rough country kit? It was only mentioned briefly but I'd love to see a couple examples of how the RC kit comes out. Thanks!

    I am planning to lift with this kit myself!
    Question: what bumper is that you have on your truck? Looks like you retain stock front end and this bolts on over it? Looks clean!

    Does anyone have some good miles on this lift kit to say how it performs? I am thinking about going with the low range kit, but I throw my truck around sometimes when I drive and want to know if it will preform well doing a little rally style driving down some fire roads. I would love to get a complete suspension replacement, and will when the stock bilsteins wear out, but I don't have the cash to do that now.

    Also to anyone curious about RC lifts, in my personal opinion, I wasn't a fan of it. I had one on my bronco when I first got into the lift world and it was literally ROUGH, like the front shocks felt like it they were bottomed out all the time and the rear felt like it was on a giant spring constantly bouncing. That's not to say everyone's experience is the same, that's just how mine came and went. Hopefully the newer lifts are better.

    I'm curious too, what backspacing/offset would clear the 285/75/16's?

    I ended up going with a RC 2 inch level in the front and a 1 inch block in the rear. It sets the truck up well and is a happy medium for now until I can replace the whole suspension. The ride is a little bit more stiff than stock as expected with any spacer kit I have ever had.

    Hey, did you have to get aftermarket UCA's? And if you didn't, hows the alignment so far?

    Great looking truck, wheels and all. How's your kit holding up? Did you keep your stock springs?
    Appreciate it!

    I'm happy with it...I like because it has a very slight rake. No sag and no noises at this time (4K+ miles) and I'm able to maintain the wheel alignment with no problems. I haven't loaded up the bed or pulled my boat with yet. Understand the only off road I do is sand dunes and beaches in St Augustine, FL. I'm going t upgrade after I get some of my monies worth out of the factory tires and suspension. Here's how it looks now with the SCS Ray 10 rims and the stock tires.
