Lift Installed With Before And After Pics!!
Here she is...my 2002 4Runner SR5. I did the Daystar 2-1/2" lift and Rancho RSX shocks all around. The ride is unbelieveably smooth compared to the stock Tokico shocks. Next project is the tires. I'll probably stay with the stock 265/70R 16's but am looking strongly at Revo's or Firestone Destination M/T's. About 90% sold on the Revo's. Any suggestions on size? Thanks and hope you like the outcome...I sure did! This thing should've come from the factory this way!!!!!

Looks real nice 
I would suggest upgrading the stock size to 265/[75]/16
the Revos are great. I ran a set. My wife currently has them. However when they wear out I am replacing hers with Nitto Terra Grapplers
check out www.tires.com for great prices
and ditch the running boards.

I may go with 75's...they're about a half inch taller but a half inch narrower than stock. Can't ditch the running boards, especially now. The wife needs them to climb in with the lift! LOL

I understand about the running boards. However, the truck looks a little off with stock size tires.
here is a shot of my wife's 99 SR5 with PP 1" springs and bilstein hd shocks on my old limited wheels with 265/75/16 Revos

Your wheel wells are definitely fuller than mine. I think mine's a lifted taller too. I'll check into the 75's seriously when it time for new rubber! Thanks for the info!

If you did all that work for the lift, you gotta get some bigger rubber on there! It's hard to notice the difference the lift makes with stock rubber. Don't hafta go huge, but at least bigger than stock!

I highly recommend the REVOs. I now have 30,000 miles on mine and they still have a ton of tread left. I do rotate these every 5,000 miles and have noticed no strange wear patterns, etc.
I went with a 275/70/16 - the additional width works wonders for the overall stance of the truck. This is the FJ-80 stock tire size.
P.S. Thanks for the "AndyMod" mention in your signature

arent 265/70/16 = 30.6/10.4/16 and 265/75/16 = 31.6/10.4/16 ? they probably only look thinner because they are taller and not wider.
on my tacoma i put a 3" lift and 16 by 8 rims with 265/75/16. they stick out a little from the flares and look really nice.

I love the look of your truck ecchamberlin! That's exactly what I'm going for. Gotta get me some TRD stickers though. My plan is a set of 265/75R 16 Revos probably sometime in the spring.
