do you like the way it looks now?

4 inches of lift will look better with a bigger tire imo

if its anything like my 3rd gen 4runner, I felt it looked awesome with 32s and a 3 inch lift, so 33s make sense to go an inch more

you got a flat pic of your truck?

i dont like how it looks now, it sags in the rear and its too low for how wide the tires are.

What width are your 33's? If 12.50 - they must rub like crazy! You'll need at least 4" to clear them. 4" will also put a lot of stress on the CV joints unless you do a diff drop. If 10.50, you don't need 4" - 2" is probably good. I like the "full wheel well" look and the lower center of gravity.

thier 12.50's, they only rub if i try to flip a u turn. Otherwise not bad. I definetly am going to do 4".
I was going to do it today but Schwab was closed. Going to call them in the morning.

here they are now stock height.
