    Debating if I should add a Wescott lift.. Had it on my Tacoma and it looks good and rides fine but I was really hoping to keep the runner close to factory as possible because it is already perfect in performance 20210624_153026.jpg 20210624_134549.jpg 20210623_171502.jpg

    I'd leave it if it doesn't rub.

    What happened to your Pro wheels?

    I would add a lift especially to help support all the extra weight you’re carrying.

    I also have a 21 LR Pro and absolutely love the way it rides. If I were to do a lift down the road it would probably be the Westcott spacer lift. Time will tell!

    You will love it more with 285's. Its the perfect stance and how the Pro should come from factory.

    I agree it enhances the look, but does it improve the ride quality? Sometimes I think I am driving a Cadillac!

    I am looking at the eibach springs when they come out in 4th quarter (supposedly). My only issue with the spacer lift is it preloads the springs, which my understanding is it limits the effective travel a little. I do take my LR offroad and occasionally wheeling. A small lift with as much retained travel as possible would be perfect.

    Everything you do to the vehicle to improve offroad capability usually reduces on road comfort. It's a teeter-totter.

    If you are happy with the look and performance, then why lift? To get street cred? Who cares. Are you having issues offroading? Then maybe.

    This is a strange question, it seems you're happy with the vehicle and want our opinion. This forum is full of enablers, it's a really bad question to ask :)
