Who is the manufacturer? Would it be too heavy to ship?

Hmmm.. Sounds exactly like this. Must be the alternator :shrug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpQ6XI8e0LQ

When I start the engine from cold, the engine sounds a lot like its supercharged. A belt type "wwwrrrrr" sound. I'v already done the air pump bypass, so I'm not entirely sure what it could be. It goes away when the engine warms up. Any ideas? Its an 07 4.7 4x4. Thanks for the help! :frusty:

My friend had a set of 5th gen trail springs, so I decided to try them out since I was swapping out the shocks and struts anyway. So far I have only done the front with 5100s set at .85. I seem to have gained between 1.25-1.5 inches. Im still debating doing the rear because it has a nice stance...

The brakes on this vehicle are absolute garbage. I finally just put 5th gen brakes on in hopes of some better brakes. I think we should be making a larger issue out of this than a cracked dashboard :rolleyes: . Its a legitimate safety issue where people could get hurt.

Hope everyone there is ok. :sadwave: On a happier note I bet that 4runner would fire right up after a little tlc.

I am also wondering this. My friend has springs from a 5th gen trail sitting around collecting dust.

What is everyone using to make bleeding the brakes easy? Speedbleeders? Im trying to get all the parts together for the swap.

2.5 in front and nothing in the rear? Looks nice and even.

Is everyone just changing out their front brakes or are the rears known to seize up too?

Looks great! I just ordered 5100s to run on my stock springs, but I am still trying to figure out which setting I want to set them on. Either .85 or 1.75. You might have swayed me toward 1.75 :cool:

They sure will.

I keep eyeing the Slee Low Lift but threads like this always scare me away. Not sure what to do.

Thanks guys. I picked up a Cardone shaft from Napa, should be good enough for now. Toyota wanted $500 for a shaft. I couldn't believe it. I'd be willing to pay $250 for an OE shaft but $500 is absolutely outrageous. Thanks for the tip on the tie rods.

Thanks for the reply. Thats what I was hoping for.
