Question Front looks lower than Rear... Normal ?
I could've sworn my front end was higher than how it sits today, when it was brand new off the lot. Is it just me or does the front end of all 4th gens settle down to a lower stance after the proper break in period (my ODO is approximately @ 5K)? The front end is definely significantly sitting lower than the rear.

I'm pretty sure the front has always been lower than the rear. The 4Runner has that "raked" look. Some companies sell a front end spacer lift to level out the truck if you want to go that route.

yep, the cornfed lift I got has 2.5 in the rear and 3 in the fromt to help level it out. It looks a little more like a stocky truck now than before.

haha, true that...one of my buddies who has a 2-door exploder looking like it was squatting to take a sh*t put an add-a-leaf on the rear to level it out. It barely got back to level. I love the raked look of the 4Runner.

I'm interested in a front spacer to level things out. Can you tell me who makes them?

Thank you
