Hmmm, that is interesting. The external bump stop you show should work then. The spacers are installed by pulling the cone out of the spring, inserting the cone into the spacers, then inserting the remaining cone into the spring. This adds a couple inches to the length of the spring, lifting the rear.

Not sure how you be able to resist hitting some trails though.......
Easily!! Closest legal/public land trails are 3hrs from home

Thanks for the reply!

3rd gen exhaust issue

Alright. This is my first post on here so be easy on me. I have a 3rd gen 99 4runner 2.7 liter. My tailpipe has now been “removed” from the main exhaust system for the 4th time now after owning it for 7 years. It’s been welded and rewelded on, and I think it’s time for a new base exhaust system. Has anyone had to do this? Did you DIY? Brought it into a muffler place? Avg cost? Trying to figure out what the avg cost could be (I am not a rich person) and how long I can go with the tailpipe secured w/ wire onto the frame 😅 (I know there are issues w idling/CO issues!) TIA!

A good resource is the Search function. Scroll down the results a bit and you'll find lots of threads on the forum about cost-effective exhaust. Sounds like you should probably replace everything behind your Cat if it's original.

For example:

Best cost option for new cat-back exhaust system?

I am looking to lift my third-gen 4runner 3in. Does anyone know an estimate of the cost of labor for this typically?

About $800 around here. More if you get the uca and diff drop.
Or $0.00 dollars if you do it your self.

Alright, after extensive reading through threads I’ve come to a certain idea for a conclusion but would also like to get other input.

My 01 with 305K on the clock exhibits this sort of “jumping” or “skipping” when around 50 mph, going up hill or just after driving for an extended period of time, like road trips especially. The info I’ve gathered is that it’s either related to plugs or coil packs. I replaced my plugs less than 30K ago, and I’ve got Denso plugs with Denso wires in there, so I’d like to think that isn’t my issue. But I’m curious about my coil packs. Still on the original Toyota/Denso ones. $150 for 3 new ones, not horrible but I’d rather not spend that if it isn’t needed. Any ideas?

You know those are supposed to be replaced with spark plugs, right? You're well overdue

Take the plugs out and check their condition. Are tips worn covered in carbon etc. the gaps are good. Check the coil boots they might be worn causing a short at the block check the coil pack resistance Resistance
primary cold 0.67 - 1.05 Ω
Hot 0.85 - 1.23 Ω
seccndary cold.9.3 -16.0 kΩ

LBJ replacement every 100k or so miles or so, sooner if you off road. I've gone longer but I check for play every so often.
Oem from a dealer. lot of fake oems out there on ebay etc. There are dealers online that you can get two for around $200 but they don't come with a new Castle nut or cotter pin. If you buy them individually they come with castle nut and cotter pin but are little more money. Also order the right bolts for your year.
If you don't have the rubber dust cover, 8 flange head bolts torque 59ft lbs
If you do have the dust covers, 8 bolts with washers torque 37ft lbs.
Buy any decent Obd-II scanner then download Torque app on your phone or tablet and connect it via blue tooth.

Would upgraded injectors help with leaning out at higher rpms, or is the only solutions adding a 7th?

Thanks everybody for the help. Results are in:
Used this spacer:
kt09107bk | Rear Leveling Kit -1-1/2 in | 4Runner 96-02| Daystar $42/set new.
Using these instructions:
https://www.daystarsuspensionparts.c...tar/p10503.pdf
Added the step of unbolting the parking brake cable bracket.
Forgot to unbolt the pan-hard bar on the driver's side. That made life difficult.
In addition to the floor jack it took the stock screw jack and a (small) bottle jack to adjust the axle up and or down on each side to jockey the springs.
The jack stand on the fuel tank side was a bit iffy (no room to straddle the frame, had to turn 90 deg.) so left the floor jack on the hitch beam at all times. It took a 4X6 on edge on the floor jack to lift the wheels off the ground from back there.
Took less than 3 hours including finding all the tools. What really helped was squirting penetrant into all threads a few days before, then loosening the bolts the day before without jacking up the vehicle. Took an impact wrench as things are rusty.
Everything went back in with a lot of waterproof moly grease.
Gave a bit less than the advertised 1.5" lift, didn't measure exactly.

Thanks !

Also are LBJ only in the front or also in the rear ?
Are the front ones the only ones of concern ?
