Better yet, what effects would I feel if I put new FJ springs up front and left my rear springs stock? Someone has offered me FJ springs (said the tears are AC Delco?) for $50 for all 4.

Can I ask why? Other than lift? I really don’t want more lift. I’m trying to get closer to stock than I am with my Daystar 2.5/1.5. How come all the mechanics I’ve talked to have said I wouldn’t need new springs with new shocks and that they “outlast the life of the vehicle”?

Hey T4R team! I've read for hours and hours on the Bilsteins (along with the FJ coil recommendations). I've decided I am going to purchase Bilstein 5100s and put them on my stock coils. I plan to put the front at the .85 setting to raise the front just a tad. (If anyone has pics of this...

I've been sitting here researching for nearly 4 hours, so I'm just going to ask it.. This is a piggy back question from my other post...http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/253407-so-fed-up-my-4runner-please-help.html Q. If I do the FJ/5100 .85 setup to get new shocks on the truck, am I...

Alright so been thinking about things for a few days.... Based on hours of research...If I go with Bilstein 5100s and FJ coils, won't I get a 2" lift in front and like 1" in the back? Won't that still leave me the same issue as the spacer lift of the UCAs struggling to align properly??

Alright guys, I really appreciate all the responses! So I got my alignment check back yesterday and it is slightly out of alignment, but it doesn't look like it moved very much... So now my question is, does it really look like my alignment is falling out enough to be an issue or is this much...

Alright if I go with new springs and 5100's I would definitely get rid of the spacer lift, so I've got a few questions... -Any 5th gen springs will fit fine on the 4th gen? -Do I just keep an eye out on Craigslist, FB Market, and here for take-off 5th gen springs? -What setting would I need...

Alright so I'm getting a few votes that the cam bolts must be backing out or moving... When I go pick up the truck in a few I'm going to ask them about it. Also some of you are saying UCAs... If thats the issue I feel I'm probably much better off long term just keeping stock UCAs and getting...

Truck has never had an accident. Bought it at 47,000 miles and it was fantastic stock. I installed the daystar myself and then drove it on stock sized tires for about 8 months without any issues. I then had the 255/75 duratracs put on along with brand new 2016 Trail Edition 17" wheels. It...

Everything is OEM.

I really think I just need to get rid of the lift and get back to stock....suck up the price of new tires and maybe I can sell some/all of the duratracs to someone who doesn't mind the noise and just wants something for offroad. 1. What shocks would you recommend for stock? 2. Do I need new...

One of the shops told me to get these Monroe Quick Strut Assemblies to keep the level ride up front to still keep my 255/75/17 tires... never really seen any mention of them here so I'm assuming they probably aren't the best route to go if I get new shocks/springs...

Unfortunately my local Toyota dealer has given me trouble multiple times in the past (lied straight to my face about work that had been done then realized I wasn't a complete idiot and could tell what hadn't been touched) so I refuse to go there... Haven't gone to any other dealers though..

I haven't gone to pick it up yet but he did say that the toe was at -.05 which is just out of spec on the front right. I also have the other spec sheets from before but need a refresher on posting pics here on T4R as I used to use photobucket and now thats acting up...

Beyond fed up with my 4Runner at this point... I'm begging for answers, PLEASE HELP!!!! 2008 SR5 4x4 103,xxx miles - Daystar Spacers 2.5/1.5inch - 255/75R17 Goodyear Duratracs. (Lift and tires have been on for about 1 1/2 years) **Only drive on-road, don't do any offroading** This has been an...
