    3" Lift Idea for 3rd Gen - Thoughts?

    The spacers I was talking about for your 285/75R16's are the wheel spacers that basically push your wheels outside a little so they dont rub against things like your UCAs. Those will still be needed to fit that size tires, and cost 125 for a pair if you go with the most commonly used brand.

    3" Lift Idea for 3rd Gen - Thoughts?

    Definately sounds like a better plan. Have you found your LC coils already? If not, I did learn that the coils that come as a pair for LC are not typically the same height (Im not sure why, probably has to do with more weight on one side) so if you want an exact amount of height on the two...

    Round Two...'02 4Runner

    I wouldnt pay 8K for it. We got our 02' for 5500. It was in excellent condition, I mean immaculate. The only real point of contention was that the frame had 202K Miles on it, but the engine had 135K due to an engine swap at 130K on the original. But 2500 Less than what youre seeing, for similar...

    3" Lift Idea for 3rd Gen - Thoughts?

    Billies are what I see used most often. Everyone on here seems to really like them. What prices are you seeing for the RC and the Billies? Wheelers has the 5100's for 143 per pair. Like I said, my lift total before shipping is 768. Shipping is going ot run prolly 80, So around 850. But its done...

    I was looking to do that too. But youll need new UCA's to fit those or youll need wheel spacers. Also add to the cost. Those tires are the fat 33". I decided to go with the 265/75R16 because they add an extra inch, are a little bigger, but can fit with or without a lift.

    3" Lift Idea for 3rd Gen - Thoughts?

    This is my first lift too, and I can say that ive spent since may on here to find how I want to lift. If you want to use it for off road, Ill point out that theres a reason people arent going with just a spacer lift on the front for off roading. I see that to supplement the lift to square up the...

    What are you wanting from your lift? Clearance? Offroading? Looks?

    3" Lift Idea for 3rd Gen - Thoughts?

    What is your budget? At the end of the month I am getting mine and its looking to run me before shipping around 768 murican dollars. Going through wheelersoffroad for the d558 front 5100's, and the FJ 5100's in the back. I am going through Toytec for their Eibach front springs. Those will give 3...

    How do you guys like your LR UCAs? Ive found old threads that talk about poor quality, but Ive also read they have upgraded their parts as well.

    Side note, and maybe inappropriate, but I have tickets (my wife bought for my birthday) for me to go see A day to remember and some other bands on the 17th of Sept. in STL. Well unfortunately because Im so hard up on lifting the runner, I dont want to waste the gas, the cost of a hotel and the...

    Thanks man, Ill keep that in mind. do you run Spacers in front and back, or just front? Wouldnt you go with less in the rear to even it out?
