    Hello everyone

    2022 4Runner SR5 Premium. I just bought the Eibach Stage 2 and now would love suggestions on some 285/70/17. I am leaning towards the Toyo AT3s but would love any suggestions or thoughts on maybe a different tire. My wife and I are about 80% paved 20% off road. When we go off road we do the moderate labeled trails. I have no intention of going to extreme or even hard off roading. Atleast not while it is a new SUV.

    Also, im thinking about getting it aligned after the Eibach/Tire installation. Is that a requirement or best practice? Thank you everyone in advance. I have done my research but now that I am pulling the trigger I wouldnt mind anyone thoughts.

    The Toyo sounds like a solid choice. They're high on the list of possibilities for my next set.

    You'll definitely need an alignment after lifting, the lift will throw everything off.

    Toyos, falkens, maxxis... take your pick. Id recommend sl or c rated tires.

    After a lift yes definitely get it aligned. Thats a requirement. Do you plan on adding aftermarket upper control arms?

    Yup go C load rating. You cant go wrong with Toyo AT3, Falken Wildpeak or even BFG KO2s

    Thank you for the reply. I spoke with Eibach for over 30 minutes, they reiterated that with the 2.75 lift you dont need to replace the UCA. So my intention was not to replace them.

    THank you so much. I thought I would need an alignment. No big box store for me.....I take mine to a guy who has been in business for 40 years and is known for hiring very experienced mechanics. There is no way in hell some 19 year old kid is touching my car
