Thanks y'all. Body lift with 33s it is.

Ok so I just bought billstein 4600 series front and back and I was wondering if I can put lc 8 wraps and tundra coils on these? I thought stock would be fine but I want more lift now!! If not ill just body lift and tires.

does anyone know if i could run trd springs with a 4600 bilstein strut up front for lift. I know they come with 5100 but...just wondering. also if anyone has the 4600's how do they like them?

ok so Im gonna feel stupid but yes the clutch fan? and whichever one is only supposed to come on when the engine gets hot. I know its not right for one because this is my second 97 t4r and the other one was not this loud. you know how it sounds at start up when the fan kicks on well mine is that...

It's idles high when it's warmed up and normal conditions. I'm not sure if the compressor works as far as the belts are concerned. And yes the cooling fan is always on. You can hear it anytime I accelerate. And it was on the whole two hour trip I drove it home when I bought it.

So i just got my 2nd 4runner...love having my yoda back totally regret selling the first one. with that being said, i do have some issues needing the expertise of yall. the fan is running all the time. i have a friend who is a mechanic and said something about some liquid in the pully or...
