Mild Lift 2"~in. - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Trophy_Rock · 03-30-2022, 10:26 AM

I want to share what I ended up with after looking at many different options for a mild/2" inch lift.

2002 Limited
170k miles
17" Tundra wheels w/ 265/70/17 Wildpeak ATs

Front Suspension
Fox 2.0 Coilovers

Rear Suspension
Icon VS 2.0 w/ OME 906 & 10mm spacer.

I have never seen anyone with this combo but it has worked out great for me, obviously it is more firm than stock, but not overly so, feels more planted.

If you are looking for a mild lift, something a little different, consider this.

Good choice looks great. Feed back after off roading would be good.

Looks awesome man...that's what I would've gone with if I had to do it over again.

What did you have? I’m looking to replace a RC 3” that came on my 98 with a 2” and the possibilities are overwhelming.

Right now I have the Bilstein 5100's fr/rr with 883's and 861's fr/rr so I have like 3" lift front and 4" lift rear with storage and rear tire carrier bumper.

I would go Bilstein 5100's or 5160's in the back with OME 890's and Bilstein 5100's or 6112's in the front with OME 881's.

This would be about 2" lift, but would keep the driveshaft angle fine, handle better on road handling, off-road 90% as well, eliminate the need for a PCK, aftermarket UCA's, adjustable upper control links, etc. The list could go on, nut I will not bore you.

Thanks, 881/890 is the direction I've been leaning

Ironically, I designed the PCK originally for my 2" lift. ( - I was tired of having the back slide out on roundabouts in the wet)
That's why 2" is the base setting on the axle side bracket.

never really been offroad more than the trails at carova beach and what amounts to some fire roads in WV. But good i guess? Sorry man, just not much experience.

Well this is embarrassing lol. Got the man himself telling me I got my info wrong...my bad spreading misinformation. I do use your kit for my rig and it works wonders for me, just didn't know it would still be needed on a milder lift.

well, it's entirely subjective, right? ( - I was coming from sportscars, so possibly overly sensitive to weird suspension movement, lol)
