in regards to control arms? I've personally used the most current SPC's and now on the Dirt King tubular. Both do the job, but I was always concerned about the sliding ball joint losing its position. Additionally, the Dirt King uses a very good Moog ball joint which I have trusted on many different vehicles before. Both are good quality products, but I'm pretty rough on my stuff and wanted a fixed ball joint.

Much appreciated!

I LOVE how this looks - almost got me ordering the kit.

But I am putting on rock sliders, RCI aluminum skid package, and probably a roof rack sometime soon. Also probably a slimline bumper with winch.

I’m assuming I won’t get the 2.75” and 1” lift anymore? I think I can increase the front shocks to the first perch to accommodate just the front weight from the bumper/winch. The installation instructions say the first perch increases the lift from 2.75 to 3.4 (without added weight) which sounds like it would work to accommodate the increased weight. But I can’t increase the rear height from 1” - how much if any will it be squashed from the “distributed” weight of skids/slider/rack?

So this has me thinking that I should go Dobinsons where I can order coils that are meant to support a 100-200lb load from the get go

From the sound of it you will be predominantly front loaded. As you mentioned the front clip will allow adjustment to tune the height as you see fit. It's really hard to say how much the rear will drop as it's not as cut and dry as the weight positioning over the front axle.

I just ordered their shocks to use with my factory springs the other day. I wanted a mild lift. I’m going to use the 1.6 setting in front and I also got their rear spring for a 4gen ( should give me around .8 and a stiffer spring). I talked to a few a the guys in tech support at eibach and everyone was very helpful.

I finally had time to install my eibach parts. Install was easier than I expected. I netted a little less than 2” in the front on stock springs and eibachs at 1.6. Hopefully it will settle a little. I got just under 1” in the rear with the 4th gen springs and shocks. Overall I’m very pleased.

I don’t know wat the picture is sideways

Just placed my order today. Will upload pics once I get it installed. I've read it's not required but would you recommend uca while already having everything pulled?

You're going to need an alignment anyway, so if you can afford to do the arms at the same time it will help get your castor in check. You're right though, it's not required in order to get the full height out of the kit.

How's the ride?

It’s rides nice. Firmer, but not rough. The body roll and noise dive is greatly reduced. I ran over a few railroad crossings and noticed the most improvement there. This weekend Im going to load the bikes up and see how the rear springs behave with a little weight.

that sounds promising. i just got my 2017 sr5 and the more i drive it i feel its more mushy

You guys install extended brake lines with this kit?

Your truck looks great! I am new to this site and to modifying my 4Runner. if you don't mind me asking, what was the install cost of the kit? or the time that it took? thanks

anyone running these lift kit with the KDSS?? Any noticeable lean?
