Toyo Tires, Rancho Struts/Shocks

We just ordered Toyo Open Country A/T tires, 265 70R17 to put on our stock 17" wheels, Rancho struts for the front and shocks for the back, and a 1.5" billet spacer kit for the front. I guess it's actually a 2.5" kit, but somehow they can use it for a 1.5" lift.

I'd like opinions about all, please. Also, how much will this change on-road handling?

Can't speak for the Ranchos but I ran Toyo open country ATs on my runner for 2 years and loved them. They wear really well and are awesome in the snow and ice.

The toyo a/t's were on my runner when i bought it and they were at 50%. I liked them enough to get a new set. I am pleased with these tires. In almost all conditions i find they excel. Im amazed at the lack of road noise. My only complaint with them is since they are a harder tire, they tend to spin more often on frozen(not ice) roads when in 2WD and empty back. But thats what AWD and 4WD are for. And they dont kick rocks or fill with snow as fast as my BFG A/T that i had on my old runner.
As for the Rancho's. I put ranchos on my 92. They were off in like 2 months. In my experience I found them to be junk. Replaced them with OME after that and all was good.
