Not on the green truck, no. I had a ~1" thick bumpstop in there and had probably 2.5" of travel before contacting the stop. Never had any issues with bottoming unless I was towing or hauling heavy. For a daily driver, I was extremely happy with that setup, especially for the ~$200 I had into the suspension.

Same exact tires from the green truck, 275/60/17.
They're actually 4 of the optional alloy spare wheels from the GMT900 trucks. Never seen anyone else piece a set together before. They're light as hell, only downside is they're only a 17x7. I know a guy who's widened wheels for about 40 years though, so something may happen there in the future.
So... truck stuff is on hold again, I'm an idiot and bought another ******* car.
2000 BMW 323Ci, 5 speed, 186,000 miles, some cosmetic issues, and it needed a new passenger side lower control arm (which was sitting in a box in the trunk). Paid a friend's parents $2,000 for it. Came with the alloy 17s with good summer tires on them, and a set of 16" steelies with snow tires. Too good a deal to pass up. Plan is to get it mechanically sound, clean it up cosmetically, then throw it on craigslist with a high asking price while I use it as my DD and see how much I can get for it. I'd like to get into an AWD E46 wagon for the winter, but we'll see how things develop.
Who wants to buy the 4Runner?

Painted some ****, it doesn't match, I'll fix it at some point. Got new tires, tinted the windows, still deciding what I want to do with the 6.0, might be a change in my work situation in the next few months that would allow for the budget to grow a bit.
