Really no reason to run Es. I’ve ran both on previous 4Runners, Tundras - go C. Better ride and much less heavy.

I agree but for whatever reason 275/65/20s only seem to come in E. 34”
Installed King suspension today after waiting six weeks. Both front and rear are adjustable. Installed Icon springs in the rear.
Opted for Method 305 17x8.5 +25 Offset with Toyo 285/75R17 C Load.
There is rubbing at full turn in some instances as I can hear the grind against the wheel liner. Will have to figure out what to trim or maybe adjust the alignment.
Thinking about getting lighter Volk Racing wheels to reduce the weight. My loaded truck currently weighs in 6,720 lbs.
Here are some initial photos.

what exactly are the things adding to the 1k extra weight? do you have an approx breakdown of each upgrades?
I have a lot of gear in the truck. Things like Dometic cooler, stove, propane tank, tables, chairs, compressor, ladder, and other junk add up. I’m adding storage cabinets to manage the gear better so I can reduce weight. If I’m ever going to make to Tuktoyaktuk I’m going to need more gas tanks and reduce weight to add them.
Should be able to go 285/70 no rub
Rays just dropped a new TE37 for those who don’t want that mexiflush/wagon wheel fitment. 18x8.5 +53 6x139.7
Here is my current setup...
Overtrail+
Matte PPF
Westcott Preload Lift Kit
Volk Racing TE37SB 18x8 +30 Pressed Double Black
Toyo Open Country A/T III EV Tire - LT305/70R18 126/123R E/10 (34.8" Tall Tire 60lbs)
I had to push in the front fender line in a little bit. Took off the cover for the safety bracket. Going to remove the bracket soon because after I got an alignment I get slight rubbing in reverse.

Looks great - I am guessing you're not running a spare/keeping the stock spare in place?
Curious how you like the ride post-Westcott and LT Tires compared to stock.
Rub: Yes/No?

TexasD,
In that pic I see the 2 spares on the roof carrier.
At the back, that appears to be one of those ‘tradesman’s roller assist’ bar, correct?
So big question is what tool, accessories, equipment are you using to hoist those spares up and down safely? (I’m too old, decrepit, etc to rely purely on muscle anymore
)TIA!
Here's a pic of my 2025 Lux. First thing I did was swap out the 22"' wheels and tires for Fuel Rebel 20x9 (+20 offset) and Nitto Terra Grappler G3's (275/55-20, XL). I think the bronze (which also has a bit of metallic color to it also) looks fantastic with the Caviar and the (mostly) blacked out appearance. The +20 got me exactly the wheel pop I was looking for, and it added some aggression as well as better foul weather performance. Very little road noise as well, much to my surprise
No full size spare as a 35" won't fit. I have a plug kit and a portable inflator. I transport stuff often so don't like swing arm mounts.
The ride from just the Westcott kit is slightly harsher but nothing bad. Ride overall is quiet from the tires. I get some noise from the roof rack when there are strong cross winds. I removed the rear brackets yesterday but still have slight rubbing from the front fender liners. Need to do more clearancing...
Those are the stock tires. I had a car load of family the day I got new wheels and tires, so I got 2 of them in the back and the other 2 on the roof rack. It was a PITA, and only for the trip home.TexasD,

From experience I would say 285/70R17 or 285/70R18. I was informed that 285/75R17 would be the largest tire that would not rub, but I have discovered that indeed it is not the case.
Basically, at full turn the front tires rub the rear lining and the bracket. I ended up removing the liner since it got torn and the metal bracket it was protecting. I have the King setup so maybe it is different with another lift. I may have to modify the front wheel lining as well.
With current modifications I think I can fit 35/11.5R17 tires.
