2019 4Runner that I use as a daily driver and weekend warrior towing a utility trailer with a side-by-side in it. Took it out huckleberry picking the other day and scrapped the side steps on a couple of kelly humps getting into some more remote spots. Don't want to remove the side steps since I actually use them when putting stuff in my roof rack, so figured I'd lift it and put some bigger tires on it.
Originally, was going to get a 18' RV trailer to tow with it so no way would I want to lift it and put on bigger tires. But, decided to stick with tent camping and most I tow is around 2500 lbs, so a mild lift and 33's are fine.
Besides, it will just look SO much better.
Son-in-law LOVES wrenching on cars and is going to come over and help me since my back is still not healed. Got a Daystar 2.5" lift, so really not that much. No need for longer shocks, or dropping the transfer case, or lengthening brake lines, or any of the other myriad of crap I've had to do with 4" and 6" lifts on other rigs.
Ordered new tires after a ton of research and hand-wringing.
Got these LT285/70R17 Cooper Evolution MTs on the way for $161 each and free shipping. Had them sent to my parent's Idaho address to save a few bucks on taxes as well.
The stock 4Runner sits annoyingly low with quite a rake. The new lift will still have the rear a little higher than the front, but just not as obnoxious.
