cool pictures! looks great!
I did the same thing last year. I bought some 3/4" spacers
that gave me nearly 1.5" of lift up front from Even Steven for a
little over $100 bucks. The install sucked! I didnt change
anything to the rear though.
Do you have any details as to what you did to the rear of your
4runner? I am looking to raise my back end up too! You have
any suggestions or opinions?

I put FJC springs all the way around. The rear was raised 3/4" when measured thru the centerline of the tire. The fronts were raised about 2 3/4" measured the same way. It is a little more than expected but I am not pulling the front end apart again unless I am installing new shocks. :bash: It depends on when I look at it whether the front is now higher or lower. So I think that is pretty close to level. I am VERY happy with the outcome. There is little to no body roll and the ride difference is minimal at most. I have zero complaints from the wife which says alot. She did actually say it looks better and she likes it.
Hey CJ3Flyer :cheers: Thanks for the idea

:bigok: That thing looks great! I'm glad my FJC spring idea helped you and a few others. I am still happy as can be with my setup.
I love the green
It's a nice green plus you don't see many....
FJC or just the stock T4R rims? I have trouble telling the older T4R rims vs the FJC TT rims.
You definately have a sweet looking ride.

Thanks. Those are the stock rims. I would like to eventually put on the FJC TRD SE rims from 2007. The dark gray would match nicely with the two tone T4R. If they made the lowers unpainted, I would be tempted to buy a new one. Unfortunately, I changed my thinking a few years back and I like to wear them out before I trade up. I currently have 65k miles so I have a few years left. As the pictures show, this truck is dirty ALOT. The lowers would be trashed if they were painted.

Very cool... With 65k you do have a ways to go
There's a 2500 Dk Green Chevy near my my home. It's a few years old. He owns the Line-X bedliner franchise in my area. He has the sweetest matching dk green Line-X in his bed and all down his lower body panels. I'll bet that would be a pretty trick solution if you wanted to get it all green. His Chevy looks great and I have been looking at this truck for a few years now. It's an '01 I think and it looks great even with Florida's obnoxious UV levels...

Looks really good. I see what you mean about the front being nose high . At certain angles it looks level , different ones look like back up slightly.
You mentioned the spacer and where you put it . Do you think you put it in a different spot than others , it blots up to the top plate with the rubber gromet between the spacer and the spring to my knowledge unless Im wrong.

That is where i put it. in between top plate and rubber bushing. I was under the impression some spacers go in a different spot. not sure about this just thought there was 2 different designs.
