    Hello all!
    An intro first, I guess. I've spent some time the past few years over at the FJ Forum while building out my '10 TT FJ. I regrettably had to sell it last year, but am now ready to replace it with a 2nd gen Taco (double cab short bed Off Road, I hope). Looking at many many pics here the past couple weeks, I believe I've gotten an idea of the general size lift/ tires I want on the truck.
    Can anyone guess-timate the size lift on the truck in this pic and maybe even approximate tire size on the 16" stock wheels? I know, it's a small grainy pic, but maybe...
    Thanks in advance, this forum has been a big help in researching what I want/ need. (Need is the same as want, right?)

    Man that was quick. Thanks Bevis.
    I originally was thinking 265/75/16, but after seeing so many rigs like yours with lift and another step up in tire size, it really does make a difference.

    Nice. I also ran the Duratracs on the FJ. I'll definitely go that direction again if the truck doesn't already have good 285 tires and lift

    I am more leaning to a 2-2.5 lift (leaveling & AAL), and I say that cause front flaps are still on. I could be wrong but with a 285 it seams 95% of the time it don't work.
    My experience with 2.5' of lift and 32's it still rubs for me on flex, not horribly but you sure know when it does.
    I'm gonna guess and say 265 - 275.

    I think it has wheel spacers too.

    It doesn't look like there is enough tire to make it 285. Check out cooper tires before you buy the duratracs.
