    I've searched and searched for info on this. If there's a thread already on this please feel free to just link it. Anyways, I'm looking at a RC
    2 INCH LEVELING KIT | LOADED STRUT | TOYOTA TACOMA 2WD/4WD (05-21)

    https://www.roughcountry.com/toyota...0075.html?find=2020-toyota-4runner-4wd-740662

    It says it fits my 20204runner and fits the stock tire size but is anyone running 285/70R17? Do they fit without rubbing?

    Thanks in advance!

    Don't buy those coil overs unless you literally cannot afford anything else and you need to lift your vehicle.

    Rough Country, Pro Comp, ect. lower end offerings are absolute ass.

    Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. But they had good reviews and I'm trying to get this done quickly.

    When I got this truck I planned on doing doing a level or lift at some point but no timeframe. Well I recently picked up a screw in a tire and now instead of buying one tire I'm trying to put together the level or lift sooner than later and buy a set of tires.

    I have the 2020 ORP btw...
    Light off-roading so nothing crazy. I want to get rid of the nose diving. It needs to be level when finished. At a minimum I'd like to run 285/70/R17 KO2s on the stock wheels. But what I'm finding is most kits still have some sort of rake to them. The 2in level was another reason that attracted me to RC.

    What I have:
    Front DS 34.25" PS 34.75"
    Rear DS 36.75" PS 36.75"

    I already picked up a .5in shim for the DS to take care of the DS lean. So that means I have to get rid of 2" of rake.

    The other lift I found is this one. It looks to be the closest with .25" of rake.

    https://yotamafia.com/product/eibach-lift-kit-stage-1/

    Again they don't say, but I would think it would clear those tires. That thread above was a good read, but it sounds like it depends on alignment.

    Then there's this:
    https://yotamafia.com/product/bilstein-stage-1-lift-kit/
    Again not sure about tire fitment. But this one looks like it maintains the factory rake.

    Or maybe I just buy the bilstein front shocks and springs and don't do anything to the rear.

    So I'm open to other ideas but I'd like to keep it around 1k or less would be ideal. I could go a little more but no more than $1500max.
