Let us know what you find out - I'd like to do this too.

Would vastly prefer having access to my iPod in small cubby under the HVAC controls... rather than in glove box. Has anyone done this mod?

I don't know how much they have affected gas mileage as I never had the truck "pre-lift". I am getting about 16.5 city (which doesn't seem much under the 17 EPA estimate) and honestly haven't done a full-on highway trip yet. Will post more when I've done that.

No impact to XREAS. I had read so much on this forum about problematic XREAS installs that I was super cautious and overanalyzed it for them. They said it wasn't a big deal and showed me how they simply unhooked it and rehooked it up. No problem. No leakage, etc. Bought the spacers and rear...

Hi Harper7 - thanks for your thoughts. All good questions and suggestions. A few thoughts and questions for you too: 1) 5" backspace (0 offset on this 9" wide wheel). 2) How do you chop the body mounts? 3) The only way I get rubbing is when the wheel is fully cranked. In this case, since...

Hi - I paid $320, including the alignment, which they comped me on because they were including one free alignment with purchase as part of their quality assurance package. I thought that was a great rate (all-in) given how much time they spent on it (including cutting the wheel liners to make...

Just the coils that come with this lift: http://www.toyteclifts.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/BEST_SELLER__3___4b451127c7338.jpg

Thanks, but it sounds like you are saying I would hear a beep with VSC? That could well be the issue although I am not hearing the beeping... Thanks all!

A few additional "after" pics

I sold my 1997 4Runner Limited this summer (bought it new and drove it for 14 years and ~200k miles) and bought a 2011 Limited. Before I took it home, I had a Toytec 3" spacer lift installed as well as 20" Ultra Gauntlets and 285/60/R20 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs put on. It required A LOT of...

No beeps, but yeah, it feels like a glitch in brake control. The noise it makes actually reminds me of the ridiculous noise the vehicle makes when the roll-back-assist thing kicks in. BUT it is actually braking, but only for half a second to a second. I will ask them to look at it next time I...

I was going around a corner today (getting off the freeway) at about 30-35 mph and felt a terrible grinding/braking sensation... my rig didn't really slow down and then carried on as if nothing had happened. I thought maybe my tires, which rub at times, had really rubbed hard, but replicated...

Interesting, thanks all. Yeah, I've seen the loose wires. I have had mine to the dealership already and they weren't able to repair it. They had my vehicle for SIX days and returned it to me with the same rattle. Lame. I don't think mine is the wires though... when the vehicle is in gear...

Mine rattles like a banshee (SP?) - dealer can't fix it either - and I am thinking about putting some sound blocking material in that general area to hide the noise. But want to be careful of not creating too much heat in there if the fan needs venting... Thoughts?

I love my 3" lift and my duractracs (285/60/20)! No problem getting in garages and I park in one at home and at the office every day.
