Pic request, 2.5 or 3in lift with 31 tires

I have a 99 runner and hopefully I'm going to be getting a 2.5in lift soon. I just got new BFG AT in 31x10.5 so I was just wondering how it would look, the tires will last me more then a yr as I just got them this summer. Just wondering if it was going to look too funny.

agreed.. can't wait to get my lift on. Have you gotten new tires since the pic? I have 31" mud terrains so I'm not expecting it took look too bad. Our 4runners are identical.

here's mine before on 31's with about 3.5" lift. It looks a bit small imo but with 2.5" lift, urs should be ok. Those bfg's should last u a while. Mine were 2.5 years old before I swapped to M/T's and they still have good meat left.

Well, it still looks good. I think im gonna go with a Nitto tire, haven't decided on m/t vs terra though. Guess it depends how much money I have around christmas. Plan to put some 17's or 18's on it too. Runnin boards came off mine a while back

Thanks so much man! thats exactly what I was looking for! Now I'm not so worried about it looking bad, and I guess I'll be rocking those tires for quite a while!

I really needed this thread. I've been wanting to do a 3' lift but just bought new 31's and couldn't see replacing them. Nice to see the lift with 31's doesn't look too bad.

Here is mine with 31's and a 2.5" Cornfed lift. I'll be getting 33's here in a couple weeks.
