I'm trading in my FJ and deciding whether I should take the 3" suspension and wheels off first??? My FJ does run 325/60/18s though so I'm not sure if they will fit. Is the body mount chop similar to the FJ?
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!!!

It just a spacer lift but it was great for what I needed and the silver/blue bilsteins are brand new all around. Do you think there is anyway I'm gonna fit the 325/60/18s on the 4Runner??
Thanks!!!
 
I honestly think it probably isn't worth taking off unless you do it yourself the labor is going to cost more to take it off then it would be to buy lift springs for the new 4runner and lift it that way. I think those tires would fit but it would require some cutting there are a few people running close to that size on a 17in rim. The other problem might be the UCA hitting the tire. Which 4runner are you going to get?
 
Id like to buy the TE but its more $$ than the SR5. What did you haggle your TE for? It's gonna suck not having a rear locker anymore. Well maybe. I wonder how capable the SR5 is??

I didn't want to get in a big story but I have all new FJ Bilstein suspension sitting in my garage. I also have the same bilsteins on the FJ right now. I just need to take the spacers of the top of the stuts and top rear coil.
These wheels cost me a pretty penny but we'll see what they offer at trade in and if they really care to have the wheels. I'm getting a tax savings from the trade in.

You have all new FJ suspension including coils? If so I am positive you could sell that in the classified section alot of people with 4th gens want it cause it gives them a mild lift. I got my TE for 37K I also got 15k for 04 SR5 4Runner that I traded. The SR5 is a very capable rig as well alot of members here have them and actually wheel them. If it were me I would just take the wheels off throw the stock wheels on the lifted FJ and trade it that way more then likely the dealer will take the spacers out anyway if not maybe you can haggle that in the deal? Its the end of the year and they want to move vehicles

Most dealers will not give you anymore or not enough in your trade to cover the cost of the wheels and tires, as mentioned already if its just a spacer kit leave it on the FJ and put the stock wheels and tires back on the truck
I traded my FJ in for a TE diffently a good move the 4Runner Trail is every bit as capable as a FJ good luc with your trade
 
Hey Moomba,

How much did you get for your trade in? What year and how many miles did you have??
Just trying to get all my ducks in a row..
Thanks everyone.. Im excited but I really want the TE edition but may not be able to swing it..
