I started soaking this past weekend :) (Don't even plan on starting the lift process for another week, or so, hahaha) I'll hit every nut/bolt I can again a few times prior to starting as well.

You just watched a bunch of videos and then went ahead and tackled it, by yourself? Because that’s awesome! Bet it feels good to have it done! I’m going to hit the bolts and such with penetrating lube tomorrow and perhaps another time during the week, then may start next weekend. Can’t wait to...

Be careful what you ask for, hahaha! Thanks for offering advice if I need it! I knew I had seen some killer Runners in the area! Hope to actually meet some of you. Thanks for the continued advice, all of you.

I was actually going to look into all new hardware....I have upper and lower control arms, with new upper bolts and cam bolts for lower. I should really look into replacing all of it, since the majority of things are coming out anyways (CV's, Sway, etc...)

Right?!?! I see a gold 4Runner (4th Gen) near the airport all the time, a real nice black one and many Tundras rolling around here! And, hello fellow Fox Valley Yota owner :cheers:

Fantastic! That's exactly the type of videos I'm looking for! Thanks you so much for the link!

I need to find decent videos and tutorials as well, just to lock it in like you did. Like I said, chime in during/after!

Better than nothing! I need to start looking at videos/write-ups anyways.

You go ahead and document that, then share your experience....heck, let me know how it goes in here anyways! Good luck, wish I had everything together for the long weekend!

I cannot wait to look through that suspension swap! Thanks so much for the valuable resource! :hail: I'd love to document my own, just to give back and provide any help I can to anyone who goes through the work later on.

See, that's the kind of advice I'm looking for! I truly appreciate the insight!

Really? I guess I don't know much about them, or what settings I would need on my Bil's to perfect the stance. I will try to search more on them later. Again, appreciating all the insight, especially from those who have done similar lifts. You guys rock.

Plus, it gives me a reason to buy a "summer toy" to drive while the Runner has some downtime, right? I mean, that makes sense to me...wonder if the lady will buy it :loco:

Awesome! Appreciate the reply, especially the tips! I'll have to look for the write up as well!

First, let me apologize for starting a thread about lifts, when there are a metric ton of them already. Here it goes...I am piecing together a small lift and getting rid of the XREAS system on my 2004 4Runner Sport. (I have Bilstein 5100's, new upper (JBA) and lower control arms and the...
