PRO-TRUCK LIFT SYSTEM (Stage 1) - TOYOTA 4Runner Base
Am I correct in that this would equal about a 1" lift in the back, and raise the front to nearly level? Would I need UCAs? This will be a casually used daily driver with some unimproved service roads on the weekends.
Another common option I see is 5100s and Moog FJ Springs. How does that setup compare price and performance wise? Thanks in advance for any help! |
I pretty much have the exact setup you mentioned, 31" KO2's with the Eibach lift. It's about 2.5" front - 1" rear for a level stance. Maybe a slight .5" rake which is perfect when you add passengers or a little weight. I have the V8 on the bottom notch and those are the numbers I got. You don't absolutely need UCA, but it does help get your caster closer or higher than spec. It definately feels better with the high caster UCA on the highway and gives more articulation offroad. My caster went from 1.6/2.3 to 4.5/4.6 with the JBA UCA. I can't remember the cost difference between the Moog/Bilstien and the Eibach kit but I think it's close. They are similar set ups but for me Eibach had the whole package together making it easy, plus the springs and shocks were designed to work together.
