    Alright… I need honesty… what do you guys think?? 3inch lift with 275/70/17 (32”) BFgoodrich ko2. Does this look bad? Not sure how to feel about it…

    I think it looks good! What kind of lift did you install? When you park the 4Runner in a parking lot, do you turn around when walking away and say to yourself.. "Ya, it looks good." ? Individual taste is shown, it's not gawdy, looks good.

    Personally I think the front is a little high. Park on a level surface and use a level on the frame. My guess is you're slightly nose high already.

    I may be the outlier here. But I actually prefer a little bit of rake. The vehicle handles better with an inch or two of rake. Lowering the front about an inch would also be beneficial as you'll gain some usable down travel.

    Also, if you have a spacer lift I'd ditch that altogether... Springs for lift, shocks for control.
    Spacer lifts risk overextended your CV axles and will also blow out your shocks eventually. Since the shock will bottom out internally before contacting the bump stops.

    Not to sound like a broken record, but if this is a spacer lift I'd recommend just getting some Bilstein 5100's and set to 2 - 2.5" of front lift.

    Edit: Spacer lift confirmed... Ditch it man

    There is nothing wrong with doing this for looks. When you are ready for improved performance, come back with some questions. You should be able to find some answers here.

    BTW, I think it looks good :thumbsup:
