04 sr5 lift

[macklots]

Just installed 2.5" daystar budget boost strut spacers in front. Figured this would level out the front with rear to get rid on some really bad rake. Front end now sits 1/2" higher than rear. Doesnt sound bad on paper but looks like I have a bunch of dead bodies in back. My resolution to this problem is to install the "toytec superflex 2" rear coil lift". Does anybody see any issues using these 2 components together? Would I be better off just getting the 1.5" rear daystar spacers? I eventually want to upgrade all of my shocks and coils, so I figured I would start with my rear coils. I am running 265/65/17 geolander at/s( not my choice of tire, came new with vehicle. Waiting to wear down and get 265/70 destinations.) Any input or comments on this would be greatly appreciated as I have already bought the coils but they havent shipped yet. Thanks!

I have a set of those firestone tires on mine and I have to say that their pretty good. I thought I would have to put bfg's right away, but they done really well. The rig looks good by the way.

I know but the search bar isnt being too friendly on this subject. I read one thread that said it is not the best idea to replace springs unless your going to do the front and back. Basically my question is do you think it will ride ok with upgraded lift springs in rear with stock rear shocks, and stock front struts with a spacer kit?

Just get the DS 1.5 rear spacer it will give you the look you want. The 2.5 and 1.5 come as a kit from DS to level out our trucks they are meant for each other I installed the DS kit and I'm very happy with the results I'm also running the 265/70 tires. Heres what my truck looks like with the kit installed.

You can fine tune your rear for what every you wants. For hauling or just leveling. I bet a Old Man Emu 3 inch spring would be perfect. Or you could cut down any poly coil spacer to make it sit your idea of perfect.

My rig likes to sit ass high.

dude in Cali thats the look...make it the cool look in PA hah...kidding...Im in PA right now, live in Cali....cant stand the high a$$ front ends lifted up where you are looking at the skyline and probably cant see the cars in front of you....goofy Cali kids....unless you really hit the desert wheeling, looks dumb

While you can definitely do the rear coils and I hear good things about those, I think it defeats the purpose. You will end up with almost the exact amount of rake you started with. To actually level the 4runner id probably do the spacer and wait on the coils till you do the full swap.

Yea I cancelled the order for the springs. Ordering the daystar 1.5" rear lift. Thanks guys. Will post pics in the lift thread when finished
