Wanting to mod 03 4Runner
Alright guys I have a 03 Limted 4Runner. I want to mod it. Things I have in mind are leveling it, bigger tires and rims, and maybe a lift. Problem is I don't know anything about lifts. Help me out by telling me what to do and suggestions. Tell me about sizes also.

The FJ springs (do a search on which ones you want) and the Bilstein 5100's (set @ .85") are a good place to start if you want it leveled and a minor lift... It really makes the truck look better and it handles just fine if you had the X-reas, better if you had the stock shocks/springs. I went up one tire size, stock rims, but that was before the lift. I'd like maybe one size larger if I could get them in the well.

Other than some replacement LED bulbs in the running boards and inside the truck, and HIR blubs in the headlamps, I haven't done anything.

Weathertech floormats all around are a must IMHO, nobody's flormats compare.

Check the 4th gen suspension FAQ sticky at the top of the 4th gen forum. Most (if not all) 4th gen lifts are discussed in depth there.
