Post your 2nd gen tire setups (2"-2.5" lifts)

Just wanna see how big of a tire I can go without removing my mud flaps or doing modifications..

I will be stock in the back and lifted 2.5" in the front & would like to put 285/70/17's on it

lets see those fitments

 

Just put on new tires and wheels

 

thats one clean yota.. did you have to remove your mud flaps

 

I didn’t have to, I wanted to
She is a 2009 with 75k miles

 

I wonder if would be able to fit those exact tires on mine without removing the mud flaps.. I will only have a 2.5 inch front lift though...

 

Dependent on wheel specs these are the largest tires you can stuff under a 2nd gen before requiring modifications
265/70/17, 265/75/16 or 265/65/18,

 

Absolutely gorgeous truck! How do you like the Toyo MTs so far?

 

Thanks!! So far so good but they have only seen street. Pretty quiet and good handling on the road though. Ok post a review after she goes off road

 

which UCA do u have

 

I’ve got total chaos, but I am definitely going to be replacing them with a billet aluminum upper control arm from icon. I am pretty disappointed in the powder coating and how it’s holding up with the total chaos ones.

 

First you’ll be nose high. 285s on the rear with no lift leaves no room for the suspension to compress.

 

3/2 on my prerunner with 285s

 

Method 305 Double Black 17x 8.5 4.75 bs/0 offset
275/70r17 Toyo R/T Trail
Icon Stage 8... 2" lift front/back (coilover's at factory height setting/RXT leaf pack at option 2)
Had to trim mud flaps (removed area in front of cab mounts and used a heat gun to tuck under.)

 

Lift alone isn’t going to let you run 285’s

of any height

 

I’m getting rubbing on the cab mount, just ordered a chop kit

 

Eh, yes and no. Mostly agree though. Depends on lift type

 

Rough Country 3.5” lift, with 18x9 Vison Rockers -12mm offset wrapped in 33x12.50R18 Red Dirt Road MT’s. No rubbing whatsoever even at full lock and articulation with the wheels stuffed in the wheel wells. No CV angle issues/cv boot slide mod along with CVJ Extended travel Axles. And still rides better than it did when it was stock.

 

I had to do chop, pinch weld, trimmed a bit of plastic.

 

In my experience, with a lift similar to the one he’s asking about, I needed more than just the lift. If I’m not mistaken, he is also considering upgrading UCA’s, so that helps, but 285’s are phat

 

Not disagreeing, im lifted about 2-2.5" on 37's and it took a lot of fucking work lol. With a typical toyota suspension lift it'll do nothing for you as far as tire clearance. Only time it relly helps is at ride height. If it rubs stock it'll rub with a typical suspension lift used on ifs toyotas. Now dropbrackets, body lifts, portals, etc... will help with clearance.
