Apparently I originally posted this in the wrong section. I guess I should have posted it in the newby section:

I have a 1998 Toyota 4Runner SR-5 2WD. I am currently running 275/45r20 (about 30" tall tire) tires on 20x8.5 wheels and needless to say the low profile tires ride like dog "stuff". I just installed the Monroe Sense-a-trac shocks. I want to run a taller sidewall tire. I was looking at the Toyo Open Country or Nitto Terra Grappler in 275/60r20 (about 33" tall tire) as I want to keep my wheels. Is anyone else running a similar size? I know I will have to lift the truck, but the tallest lift I have been able to find is a 3" Revtek which consists of spacers for about $350. Are these spacer kits okay? I have been told that I can use stock Tundra coils on the front for a 2" lift- is this true? Do they need to be 4x4 springs or can they be the 4x2? Can any alignment shop do the alignment after installing or does it need to be an offroad specialty shop? I don't do a whole lot of off roading (about 95% of the time on road, may go off road to get to a fishing spot in Galveston every once in a while). With a 3" lift and 33" tall tires, will I have to remove the running boards? I like the offroad look- just not into offroading, and I am quite sure a taller sidewall tire will ride better. Opinions please on fitment.

 

not really sure on too much, but my buddies dad has the open countrys on his 99 tacoma, and he loved em, we used to take it out in the snow all the time, and i thought they were great, personally i liked em better then my BFG AT's
