Ahhh this reply pains me greatly!! I sold my 4runner several months back it was my favorite car I've owned. Bought a pimped out, big heavy travel trailer and needed something to tow it so traded her in for a Ford truck. I really miss my runner but it had to be done. Anyhow, yes the tires are...

I agree with you 100% but A. I already have the parts and B. want to keep everything stock until my warranty runs out. I just don't want to give the dealer any ammo should I ever need service. My dealer only installs spacer kits on their runners in order to keep everything OEM. Thanks for the...

Ya that's exactly what type of spacers they are. Did your spacers get squished or cracked over time with the added weight in the rear during towing?

Just got of the phone with my shop to schedule an install in the rear of a firestone coil rite air bag helper spring and toytec 1.5 spacer. The employee caught me off gaurd when he said the helper spring might not install correctly with use of spacers? I had never heard of this, I thought tons...

Thanks. I didnt want to go too big because we tow with it and take it on long trips. The biggest hit I took on mpgs came after the tires, these bf's r heavy! I went from city highway at 17.1 -17.3 to 16.1. I was shocked and pleased that the lift only brought me down to 15.9 mixed city and highway.

Thanks Stu. I'm very pleased with the how it turned out, it's not overly big but to me looks normal now. I love these BFG's they have been amazing in this snow and look pretty good! I went back and forth between the BF's and the Dura's but ended up getting a killer deal on the BF's so that...

Haha no doubt, had to drop my wife off at work this morning!! Been fun driving in though!!

Here is my 2011 SR5. Went with a Cornfed 2/1, I will be adding some sort of air system to the back because I will be towing when the weather gets better, looking at the firestone coil rites? I am running 275/70/17 BFG AT's.

As promised here is are a couple pics of how my small lift turned out. We use this vehicle to tow and for long trips so this lift is just right for us.

Thanks to all for the help. I ended up taking the advice and going with a 2/1 cornfed spacer lift. It is being installed on thursday. Btw cornfed shipped extremely fast and provided excellent communication to ensure I had the correct product for my year. The spacers look great and seem well...

Mine went away around 17,000. I always assumed it was something that needed to be broken in. Glad to hear mine wasn't the only runner that had that noise.

This vehicle is actually shared by my wife and I and she would have a heart attack if she saw me out there tearing things off it, she would probably tear things off of me!! That being said, I need a pro to do it. We have a mazda 3 gas sipper and a 2011 SR5 Pearl Blizzard 3rd row on 275's, a...

Ya 4wheel parts and Les Schwab will only install what they sell. I talked to Toyota and they wanted like 870 for everything but the only kit they had was a revtek 3/2. I think what I will do is buy a cornfed or toytec 2/1.5 or 2/1.0 and look around for a shop to install it. Seems like the best...

Ya the biggest obstacle I'm having right now is finding someone to install these products. How hard is the install and have most people just taken them to a private shop not like 4wheel parts for the install? My other obstacle is that I have brand new 275/70/17 bfg AT KO's and think that a 3/2...

I live in Eastern Washington and I am having a damn near impossible time finding someone to install a leveling kit under 3 inches. 4wheel parts checked their computer and said they do not have a front and rear leveling kit only the front at 2.5 inches. Les Schwab told me none of their...
