3rd generation pics of lifts/tires

Hey.
I would like to get some ideas from the 3rd generations out there with lifts and larger tires with stock wheels and aftermarket wheels. If ya post please include your tire size, lift, etc. I want to go alittle higher on mine and I will be due for a tire purchase in a few months.

cubuff4runner, you need to talk to my wife and explain to her that the "little" lift I want to install on her 4runner is just what she needs. She has this aversion to me and my sawzall for some reason though. I don't get it? Anybody know what the problem is with her?

When I did my 3" lift the my wife liked mine and she drove it quite a bit. Now with the 9" lift she doesn't like it because it is too hard to get into. She still drives it though.

Thanks guys for the pics. I did look in the picture archives but I knew there were alot more people with 3rd generations out there than what the picture page had.

Cubuff4runner: BADASS ! People like you give us guys with little lifts wanting to go higher !

I am pondering OME lift or just spacers. Its going to be a budget lift mainly for looks and for some minor trail riding, etc.

My main concern is trying to get a tire / wheel combo that will push the tires out even with my Limited wheel flares. I hate how the tires look tucked in right now with my 265's.
CHEERS !!! keep em coming!

16x8 4.5" BS w/ 265/75 would be just the ticket. Its what I have (in storage, waiting for new valvestems), and it looks juuuuust right.
