Just an update: I remember going to the dealer and they couldn't replicate it. Anywho...25k miles in. The chirping sound is not there anymore, or at least, it's probably normal to me that I don't hear it anymore. Nonetheless, my rig is still running great!

Yes, gonna to the dealer to get it checked. But I just wanted to check here first to see if anyone may know what could possibly be the issue before taking it to the stealership. I'm just afraid the dealer would say it's normal or they can't replicate the symptoms.

13k miles only. I've been noticing this noise for the past few months and it wasn't as high-pitched. I noticed it has become louder today. It comes and goes inconsistently and I can't pinpoint where it's coming from exactly. I checked under the hood and engine bay thinking it was the belt or...

Ah TIL about panhard/trackbar. After doing more research on this, I feel like this is what's causing the handling issue. Now I just gotta wait til the kit is back in stock. Do I need a re-alignment after installing the kit?

For context, I installed a new suspension a few weeks ago with some new tires. Bisltein 5100 all around with OEM front springs and Bisltein rear springs, and 285 Wildpeak AT3W. It's now sitting at a 3.25" lift front and 2.5" rear. I also got a shop installed a pair of JBA upper arms due to the...

Okay. Thanks for responding. I figure I can just wait it out and continue monitoring. Once I start seeing an issue, then I'll respond by replacing it with a new one.

Without realizing, I mistakenly installed the circplate upside down on to the drive side. It about half inch higher than the passenger side. I drove it for like few days hoping it was just settling issue. There was a hard right pull when I was driving as well. So I know I definitely need a...

I’m on bilstein 5100 shocks all around with OME coils in the front currently set at 0 notch which gives me 2.5 inches lift. I want to adjust go to slightly higher to 3 inches. If I go up 1 notch (.85), it will lift at 3.35. If I use 1/2 spacer, it will be exactly 3 inches. I have a slight rake...

ARB OME 2884 aka 884. Front coil springs for Toyota 4runner, Tacoma, FJ Cruiser. Fairly new with the original box. Used for less than 100 miles. It was a little too firm for my liking without having a constant 200+ load in the front so I switched back to stock spring. Works with Bilstein 5100...

Thanks. My wheels are Gen-5s actually :) Just a quick update. I was finally able to install the 2883s at 0 notch over the weekend. Now my 4runner is sitting at 2.75" (passenger) 2.5" (driver) at the front, and still 2" in the back. I should have fixed that lean while I was at it but whatever...

Perfect. Thank you!

I'm selling my Tokico/Stock suspension and UCA from my SR5. A buyer with 2010 Limited is interested. He's got the X-REAS currently but planning to get rid of it. Can someone confirm the compatibility?

Thanks for the reply. OME 889/2889 on other sites says differently. YotaMafia, SuspensionLifts, and ShockSurplus say they're light-to-medium duty or coils with about 2.5-3" lift depending on load. OME 898 is a step up which are heavy-duty coils. Anyways, based on these kits, it looks like I...

Got my 2wd stock right lifted a couple of weeks ago. Mainly for looks and to enhance ride quality. Bilstein 5100 all around with: OME 2884 front (set at bottom notch) Bilstein rear springs 1.5 + .5 shims (2”) Bilstein Rear shock details: Part Number: 33-313146 (0-2") Extended Length: 23-1/2...

Thanks. This is probably the most mod I'll do. Lift, wheels and tires. Yeah 2883 should give me close to 3", I hope. I'll be satisfied if it's 3.5". Should settle to 3 1/2 or 3 at some point. I might add 1" spacers in the rear depending on how the front goes. I also have the .5 spacer ready to...
