Will these tires fit "Toyo A/T tires, size 325/60/18" fit on our truck without the Daystar lift. I have the 4x4 and some other posts scared me away from putting the lift kit on my truck.

What problems have you heard about the lift on the 4x4's? I can't see it being any different than the 2WD lift. The lift is just spacers that replace the stock spacers.....correct? Does anyone know how this can be a problem on the 4X4 if it is not a problem on the 4X2?

there seems to be some debate of whether not the lift on the 4x4 will put the drive axles in an unecessary bind causing premature wear. only time will tell if this is true but thats what everyone is assuming

leaking cv boots tends to be a problem related with 4runnners when lifting even just a few inches. anyone actually see how much a bind it puts on our cv boots? too bad they dont sell trucks here with the lift or i would check. i seriously doubt 2'' will prematurly wear your actual drive axels out or rack and pinion steering.

well i have read several post on this situation and all lead to some wear, whether its potentially a problem no one knows but there are some members here that did have problems on tundras. i do not know myself but it seems probable because you are raising the front from its original state whether its enough to hurt anything i do not know. maybe someone who has done this to a 4x4 can look and see if their axles are in an excessive angle or bind.

Thanks for the information, I guess only time will tell. I really hope this is not the case b/c I would really like to level out my Titan.

I've had problems on a GMC with boots slinging grease after adjusting up the front a little. But my Titan CV shafts are virtually level with the ground, with no visible CV joint angle at all. And the shafts are long. So a 2" spacer would not add much angle. But any change will accelerate wear, not just on the CV joints but on the CV boots and ball joints. Appreciable acceleration? Who knows - still too new. I'll let some of you guys do yours first. I'm pretty sure if you do lift it, Nissan would no longer warranty the CV shafts, boots or ball joints, which are technically the somewhat negatively affected parts.
