2003+ 4runner 5.5" inch lift w xreas

[moocowjr]

ya... i understand the whole spacer vs. coils and shocks and believe me, i would rather have the cols and shocks. i just have this XREAS suspension and i'm just waiting for them to blow or start leaking. then i'll have a reason to remove the whole system and get some coilovers in the front with some deavers or even some rough country's coils and shocks in the back. unfortunately for me the spacer kit is all they offer if i wanted to keep the XREAS system.

5" suspension lift on my 2003 Toyota 4runner sport 4.0L V6 4X4

Hey guys!
I am looking to remove my xrease suspension system with OME 2.5" lift coil springs and a Daystar coil spacer kit (2.5" front and 1.5" rear lift) I am replacing all shocks and stuts with ProComp for lifted vehicles and I am upgrading tires to 275/70R17 Nitto Grappler. I will be installing a 1" front diff. drop too. My question is this are there any other parts I will need to replace (track arms, control arms, ect.). I have gotten two opinions so far first is that track arms and at least small steering mod will be needed and the second opinion is that because 2.5" of the 5" front end lift is from coil spacer kit no other mods are needed.
Any ideas?
This vehicle is my daily driver so I want to make sure I do this right.

Thanks!!

Based on my experience anything over 3.5" will require further modification if doing it the right way, which may be a costly option. The question is - Do you really need that much of a lift?

no diff drop, i'm running a 2wd (sad huh?) the UCA seems to be ok for now, the inside of the UCA seem to rub a bit on the spring if the suspension is at full sag. i was thinkin about getting some new UCA's, but i dont know where.

So I am looking at the picture trying to see the angle on the axel and I cant see any axel. Now I understand.

That is a lot of effort for a 2 wheeler but it does look good

trying out new lift kit on the 4runners. 3 inch cornfed spring spacer and 2.5 inch upper strut mount spacer from extremetrucktoys.com for an fj cruiser totals to 5.5inch front and 3 inch rear.

i already had the cornfed installed for a few months running some 285 70 17 revo and pxa 1069 17 x 9 wheels w/ 4.75 backspacing. i was looking for more clearance on the front and found that the 2.5inch front leveling kit for the fj cruiser fit the top of the strut on the 4runners. believe it or not there is enough clearance for the xreas rubber hose on the bottom of the shock/strut and all the brake lines and abs harness with both kits installed. after all that's been done, the t4r now has a prerunner stance to it with the front end looking about an inch higher than the back.

Love the way the lift isn't obnoxiously obvious too

Spacer lift on top of spacer lift. Genius.
