from what i've read the 890 spring for the rear may be too tall for the 3rd gen specific 5100 hence why i decided to go with the tundra model. with the fronts, i am told the 4runner specific ones are a bit soft so i decided tundra fronts as well.

appreciate the help. does wheelers offer any discount to forum members?

are the extended brake lines needed? what is the minimum lift required to fit the 285s? if its 3'', i am assuming a panhard correction kit wouldnt hurt? and if i buy the new top hats, do i still need the front strut stem cushion and washer kit?

Hey all, Looking to buy some new suspension for a 97 4runner and would like to know if I am missing anything. After hours of research, I have decided to go with the Tundra 5100's with OME 881/890 springs. I have a set of SCS F5 16x8 with 4.50 BS going on a set of 285/75r16 tires. Do I need a...

sorry for being such a complete novice at this. so if i decide to go the HIR route and do the simple modification to make them fit, what brand/bulb should i go with?

thank you everyone for your input. so it seems 4300 to no more than 5000k output is the way to go. as nice as HIR's may be, i think i may stick with just upgrading the halogen bulbs so that i do not have to do any sort of modification. it seems that most people do not prefer silverstars...

thank you guys. it seems like upgrading the halogen bulbs is the way to go. what temperature should i go for to achieve a white lighting like a 6k HID bulb? here is a picture i found for reference

i know nothing about lighting to be honest. do these produce white light output like HIDS do? what is the K rating of the lights? do many people go this route? pictures? have any pictures for reference? how bright are your HIDS?

this is my first vehicle without projectors so it is alittle weird to me having yellow lighting. as much as i would like to go the retrofit route, money is too tight at the moment :/

I am looking to possibly upgrade my headlights by purchasing a 6k-6.5kHID kit to increase my visibility on the road. If only I had an 06+ 4runner with projectors... Anyways, I tried to do a search on HID kits for 2003-2005 4runners but seem to come up empty handed. Do users here not normally...

great looking truck! i picked up an 03 two weeks ago and im loving it so far as well :)

look forward to seeing your suspension put in!

any updates on the outcome of using that cable? how much did that cable run you? and im assuming that you mean that the aux port will not work in the 06+ models that came with a stock jack correct? so for 03-05 models, this cable should just be plug and play?
