I finally received all of the parts for my lift install and got that done! My setup is: Bilstein UCAs (51-304690) Icon 52700 rear springs Firestone rear airbags Elka 2.0 IFP front coilovers + rear shocks (Elka 2.0 IFP) Total lift ended up being 3". Before: After:

Thanks for the tips Dusty, definitely some food for thought.

Update: I ended up going with: Bilstein UCAs (51-304690) Icon 52700 rear springs Firestone rear airbags Elka 2.0 IFP front coilovers + rear shocks (Elka 2.0 IFP) It's going to be 8 - 12 weeks before everything shows up but I'm looking forward to it!

The Elka shocks look awesome (link for anyone curious) but at $4k I think they're overkill for my situation. Probably...

No plans to go to a much bigger tire (currently running 275/75/17) so I'm not too concerned about that. This is my daily/only driver so I don't want to hurt on-road performance too much by upsizing the tires. I hadn't heard of Elka but I'll check them out. Thanks! this is exactly why I...

I missed the tire under there (can see it in the second photo now that you mention it). That's a lot better than relying just on the jack.

Holy that is sketchy AF. That'd be the day I crawl under a vehicle, supported only on a hi-lift, with a FREAKING HAMMER....

You are correct - the battery will only read 12.X V when the alternator is not running. For your reference my battery typically reads 13.8V when I'm driving (per Scanguage) but it is typical for vehicles to read above 14V when running.

Wow I wouldn't even start to worry about a battery at that temperature. IMO either the battery is NFG or you have a pretty high parasitic draw somewhere. I'd rule out parasitic draw and then see about getting the battery replaced. Given that it is fairly new you should have some kind of...

magnetic.gry.rnr - I've got no idea what's going on but can you update this when the dealership figure it out?

I'm just not going to put them back in. I have the same AirLift but the disc on the bottom keeps shifting around and cutting the airline on the bottom. It's usually OK if I fix it in the spring and then make sure to keep the bags inflated but I'm hoping the heavier springs + DuroBumps will...

It depends how cold it is. A battery that is in good condition should be fine for a few days in the cold. Earlier this winter we had several weeks of -30°C weather. My battery was original (I also have a '15) and I noticed that if I didnt start it every day I had to get the booster pack out...

I'm looking to add a 3" lift to my '15 SR5P and am hoping for some feedback before hitting the order button... My 4Runner is mostly stock but I do use it to tow a travel trailer (4000ish LBS) so I've added air bags to the rear to help with the load. They work but are a PITA and have to be...

I’m looking into the same thing right now. I tow a trailer which limits my range to 250 I’m which obviously isn’t great. The leading contender at this point is a 12 gallon marine fuel tank. Easy to strap down and the cap is on the top which should limit the chances for a leak.

I tow a Wolfpup 16 BHS with my '15 and don't have any issues. I'm running a 4 point sway control WDH and airbags in the rear. Make sure to haul in S4 and gear down to S3 for hills and you'll be fine (other than never driving past a fuel station without stopping).
