I have a 2016 white RCSB 8 speed and while I know the 8 speed can handle 35s, I've never been a fan of the stuffed look. Anyone have pics of their setup with 33-34s? I'm going back and forth between zone 3.5 combo and zone 4. I know the zone 4 will be better for all my angles though. So please post pics, mpg, thoughts, and experiences. Thanks.

I'd go with the 4" . If this doesn't level you to your liking I'd install bilsteins 5100 adjustable shock up front , just measure @ the fenders hieght front and back after the lift install then install the bils adjusted accordingly . The Bilsteins 5100 have 5ea adjustment rings :
Bottom = stock height /.07" /1.4" / 2.1" &top ring is +2.8"

With the 4" lift & bils set to 2.1 or 2.8 Imo 35s wouldn't look stuffed

4" lift wth 33 -34 may look a bit small tire wise .

Do you have 3.21 or 3.92 differentials?

I'd have to agree with R.L.K. and say go with the 4" lift.

Awesome. What 4" kit is that? What's the 34" tires specs? That's exactly what I am going for.

Wore too fast for my liking. So used that excuse to get 35s ATs instead.

To the op, 4" lift and 34's would look great in my opinion with a decent wheel offset. I'm considering this set up on my truck as well.

Not trying to hijack the thread but are those the factory headlight assemblies that have recently came out on the newer models? Plug and play? I've considered getting those for my truck.
Those are the stock 12' lights tinted

Damn, lol, I've been trying to stalk the forum and see if those new quad headlight assemblies can just be swapped into my 12' without any wiring issues and what not. I'm stuck been trying those out or buying the spyder aftermarket headlight assembly.

Sorry for the kinda ****** pic, but it's the only one I have on my phone right now.

4" RCX (2" rear spacers swapped out for 3" coils), & Bils at 1.4. 35x12.5r18 Toyo ATII's. Think they're actually closer to 34.5" though, but I definitely wouldn't want to go any smaller. Going to bump them up to 325/60r20 when the time comes.
