I finally got around to installing the lift on my 4th gen yesterday. Before I could get the old strut assembly out, it started to rain out of nowhere, so I had to throw everything back on and pack up real fast (since I don't have a garage). Didn't have time to Loctite the bolts on the lower ball...
Ah man...amazing advice. Thank you very much. Of all the reading I've done on T4R in the last couple months(a LOT), I 100% have never put together that I would get the coil lift PLUS the Bilstein setting. Definitely want to stay just below 3". My man.
Thanks man! So no material difference once I pick whatever springs and the shop puts them on? Because the springs get mounted onto the front shock like a coilover anyway, right?
Nice truck man. I've got the 18" wheel on my 06, also. Trying to figure out how much tire I can fit under there with the Bilstein 5100s at full height and no trimming. You think I could fit a 275/65?
I'm still trying to figure this one out too. I think you'll need spacers/some trimming to fit a 285. Let me know what you find. Also, might help to check out this post: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/102272-4th-gen-suspension-options-faq.html#post912075
Definitely have to do ATs and will put a lift on it. I think I've settled on the BFG KO2s but really have no idea where I'm going with the suspension. Plan to run it stock on some easy trails to start figuring out what I need. Have you run Tray Mountain?
