Did a 1" to 1.5" lift, not much as I just wanted to increase clearance between bump stops. I noticed an improvment in terms of how the suspension behaves, it is softer now. Just replaced my KYB's for a pair of Tundra adjustable Bilsteins, used original coil springs although I am thinking on...

Greetings guys. I decided to lift my 4Runner and did it couple of years ago. Since then, two symptoms came up to bother me: 1. Steering wheel won't go back to the center (go straight) after making a sharp turn; steering all the way. You have to help it by turning it back yourself at the...

Way better than the previous OEM setup including the green calipers hehe. I replaced those solid and crappy discs with a pair of Brembo cross drilled/slotted rotors and added a set of those green brake pads I bought at a Toyota dealership. I've been happy since. :bluejump:

Tundra Bilsteins and OME combo installed and tested. Left original coils (99 "talls")on the front, raised the front shocks coil base 2 notches. Used OME 2906 coils and OME soft shocks on the rear end. There's a heaven to earth difference on how it feels and handles! No more harshness and no more...

Something on rear axles play... http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/93850-1999-4runner-how-much-play-normal-rear-wheel-bearings.html

That's what I thought but then saw some threads on the issue and some people saying is normal to have that play. In my case they move a little bit, maybe 1/8" to 3/16" and you notice that after taking out the wheels and drums. You just pull the bare axles.

Sad part is panhard bushings are ok, eventhough I got the adjustable one from Sonoran Steel thinking it was an offset issue, no luck at all, wasted money. There is the pan hard in my garage, getting full of dust and occupying some space. :shrug: It's like a mistery. Is something new to me and...

Thanks a lot guys! Sure, I'll keep you posted on the coils. Actually problem is the rear end sideways movement. I have a set of KYB and have that issue, even now with the stock coils all around (but very minor compared to how it amplifies when doing the lift). I can feel it while passing over...

Can someone please confirm these are the Tundra 5100's I need? Bilstein, Innovation and High Quality Since 1873 Part Number: 24-188265 Old Part Number: F4-BE5-6929-H1 Series: 5100 Series (Ride Height Adjustable) Position: Front Descriptor: Front Lifted Height: 0-2.5" Quantity Per Vehicle: 2...

Well, the truth is I have the pair my Runner brought from the factory, then I got a full set about 3 years ago which is the set it has installed right now. For my surprise, almost no change in ride height nor quality although I put a new set of shocks simultaneously. I remember it riding better...

Do you have the specific part number? I can go wit the 2880's OME springs along with the Tundra 5100's right? Just looking for comfort, not actually lift but I'm clear I can not get one without the other. Thanks

Hey guys! I am looking for the correct or near correct adjustable Bilsteins 5100 to be used in the front of my 4Runner. I have 2 scenarios, use the stock coils or get a pair of OME 880's in which case I maybe won't need them. I went to the Bilstein site and there are several models for the...

Sure, keep me posted. BTW, hope you haven't changed your red coolant to the green one and if that's the case, go back to the red one again. There's a thread I created from a nightmare I had with a head gasket failure resulting from the green coolant. Regarding mechanical stuff: 1. I've already...

Yep! Definitely something to do with the lift. My Runner can't be lifted that high. I will try installing the Daystar spacer on the rear coils again but will have them machined to reduce their thickness (1.5" to 3/4"). Just want to get rid of the hitting cones symptom. Remember I went back to...

Well, no idea on what's happening to my Runner. Chassis to body bushings? Rear suspension specs too close to limits? Shocks are not the case, not even wheels nor tires cause the problem was still there after replacing those. Do a test, go over a speed bump at the normal speed you usually pass...
