I have 2" BJ spacers, but with you having a 3rd gen pickup, i do believe that your body has more clearance than mine does, so a 2" lift should clear 33's without an issue.

The tires change the look of your runner alot! Looking forward to seeing the Rausch pics!
No doors is the best!! But yeah like you said just gotta be mindful of things that protrude into the cab lol.

I love the way the 33x12.5's act (ill explain later), and i'm just waiting on a buddy to upload the pics.

Here's the pics!

Bashed the skidplate on a rock (I slid off the side and SLAM!!!)


THIS IS WHY I HAVE SLIDERS!! NO body damage!! Tree actually took the paint off the slider!










This is when things got a little tippy...


The 3 of us. Me on 33x12.5's, Samurai on 30x9.5's and the Heep on 36x13.5's


Top of the red trail




Fire Pit











"Lake" Christy






Some water got flung up into the distributor which caused a miss, just needed to dry out.



Winching out the Samurai




FLEX!!!

Nice looking 4Runner man. How do you like those seats? I was thinking about getting something like that for my 2nd gen but in red. I just don't know how comfortable they would be.

Thanks!

Seats are great! They hold you in place while wheeling thanks to the large side bolsters. The only issue is getting out because you need to lift yourself up and over the side bolsters.

Mine were previously in a 4Runner so they just bolted right in

I know a lot of companies sell the bottom seat brackets so that it will be a direct bolt in.

Thanks!! I'd like to go wheelin with you guys sometimes! Seems like we do a lot of the same kinda trails and what not.

I am SO glad I got the kick out with my sliders! Without them i'd be a little more beat up lol. It works well with the large wide tires, really protects the body.
