    Hello.
    My question would be. I am planing on lifting the front of my 2019 TRD off road using a set of king coilovers and uca from icon providing a possible lift of 2.5”. If I am looking to fit 275/70/17 or 285/70/17. Can I leave the rear suspension stock for the time being and still have the clearance for either tire size. Thank you

    It will definitely have a bro lean that is higher in front. Can you live with that? Only you can answer this question. I couldn’t. As for tires, both sizes should fit but it ain’t gonna look pretty.

    That is the last thing I would do to your 4Runner. The reverse rake will look stupid, all for larger tires. If you go that high in the front, you need to lift your rear. Level your frame, not your fenders.

    Also, don’t forget to adjust your headlights.

    There's no issue with doing this. You can definitely lift the front end first and then move to the back when you're ready. Your front end will only be 1" higher than the rear temporarily. Believe it or not, some people don't mind a little bro lean. :eek: Shocking, I know.

    And if you go with 285's, it won't be the rear end that rubs. It will be the front end.....even with the lift. Your best chances for minimal rubbing are with wheels that have the stock backspacing and width.
