    Default 97 4 runner with ARB ?

    Im sure this has been done to death,but dont really see a for sure answer.Hav 97 4runner,want I think to run ARB 2880 & 90004 up front & 2906 60027 in back. Will this set up clear 285/75 or 255/85. Have 91 runner with ARB all around,rides a little rough till loaded but then its great. Actually even unloaded it rides better than the 97 stock. I know ARB is conservative on their lift height specs & they will not recomend anything over stock size tires or no more than 5% over. Perplexed-undecided. Will likely see little off road travel but will have some. Stock bumpers with hopes of adding later.

    I'd suggest 881's with a top plate spacer for the front to give you a full 3 inches of lift. Even then you're going to have to do some trimming and pounding to functionally clear 285's. The rear should match nice with a set of 891's

    255/85 is what im really leaning to. this truck will be driven less than 5k miles a year. Dont really want to spend the $ for SonoranSteel but want better than just a spacer lift.

    If you are going to do 881's and a spacer you might as well do 882's, same spring rate with a 20mm taller free height.
