Would this do the actually lifting of my truck?

This kit does it's job and works 100% with your stock setup. Meaning you don't have to change any other components, if you want a quick, inexpensive, easy way to do it.

Just a little clarification on P vs. LT.

There is really no need to go LT unless you really need the extra load rating (to carry stuff).

I am assuming that since this is a brand new 4Runner, you won't be loading tons into the trunk, and the 4Runner's tongue weight is too low to affect P tires anyway (if you will be towing a lot).

Just save yourself some money and get P tires. They'll ride softer.

damn... now you just aren't trying, sorry for being an ass but i linked you a really good page on all of this information, here again
http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoSidewall.dos

the number there (70 or 75) refers to the height of the sidewall, or the Aspect Ratio. It is a percentage of the section width. In the example, you would take 70 or 75 percent of 265 or 275 or whatever millimeters and this would give you the sidewall height.

the R refers to Radial tire construction.

the 265, 275, 285, 315 and such is the Section Width in millimeters. This measurement is taken from sidewall to sidewall.

This thread has been merged.

Blackhawk:

We IM'd yesterday and I provided you some valuable links that had detailed information on various lift applications including various OME configurations. PLEASE READ THEM AS THEY ANSWER ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS. If you do not understand the articles that was presented to you, please let me know so I can update the information to better explain the various configurations.

I have no idea where you got this configuration but I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you READ up on the tech subjects that I have provided including using the "SEARCH" button to get details on the various applications that MANY MEMBERS here have documented on their personal experiences with these lifts. READING up on these threads regarding various applications will help ease your mind when you finalize on your lift selection.

Prematurely purchasing a lift kit and realizing that you purchased the WRONG kit will only be your own demise so PLEASE do take the time to READ UP on the HUNDREDS of threads on these topics.

If you have any questions that you feel have not been covered then I am confident the Yotatech community will be able to assist you with their opinions.

Good luck
