I have not been around for a while due to many reasons. However, I'm looking for recommendations for a budget lift from stock height to achieve a net of 2" total and leveling out the front. I already have 5100 struts/shocks and KYB strut mounts collecting dust in the garage. I just need springs...

Get your wife's money back. All of the "CAI" are crap. Only if there was a Over the Radiator CAI for our trucks that would be nice. Your best bet to save money over time would be to get a washable filter. It will not increase performance one bit. Also to get slightly better throttle response you...

Very true I wouldn't be opposed to using a metal spacer with new springs instead of the Daystar version and I might as well level the thing also. But, my suspension is stock with the exception of the Daystar spacers that were on it when I purchased the vehicle. The stock crap is just done with...

No one?

For those of you that have had similar set ups or have tried different combo's of the FJ parts for lift, what would year springs and shocks would you recommend for a overall 2" lift from stock height? I am currently running a Daystar 2.5" spacer lift and it blows. Mostly because the shocks and...

I'm curious to know how long you've had the 5100's installed? And since I didn't read it anywhere else in the previous comments, all shocks/struts/coil overs do have a "break in" time frame. And will feel different after some good mileage. The coil overs on my GTO took 8K to "break in"! Others...

As far as the pads go I have not tried either of these I do however have the Napa calipers and I was VERY impressed and still am with them. They have a great coating on them which I love as well. I only currently run them on the front but whenever I get the time I plan on swapping the rears out...

There is a regular Air Filter and a Hydrocarbon filter as well. See this link http://www.toyota-4runner.org/maintenance-detailing/25766-changing-air-filter.html

Stop Tech slotted rotors are really nice but I wish the bank would have allowed me to get DBA's. Be sure to check your calipers while you are in there if you need new ones I found that NAPA's "Eclipse" calipers were a dream when I did my brake job a few months ago. Personally I love the Hawk LTS...

Mobil 1 Synthetic and WIX

Update: Got everything installed last week except the new lines. I was hoping to replace the hard metal tube/line to a flexible slightly larger line but the lines I ordered were the upper line unfortunately. As far as the rest goes I am quite pleased with it all. The calipers are really nice...

Hmmm y'all should add a Diesel decal to compliment your Hybrid one and the world may stop turning... But may be worth the fun!

Well crap. Just to be safe anyone know where any of that wiring is? It only happened during the downpour yesterday when the roads were flooded and I along with the other "taller" vehicles used the flooded lane that cars couldn't. I peaked under the 4Runner last night after the storm and couldn't...
