5th Gen 4Runner Lift Buyers Guide

[3wbdriver]

Can someone real quick tell me if the ready lift sst lift on this forum fit my 2015 sr5? I go on their website and it doesn't show it being an option but other websites do. Can someone please clear this up for me on this thread or in pm.. Much appreciated ready to pull the trigger on a kit

According to the Readylift website, yes. And the suspensions from 2010-2015 are the same, so if you don't get an answer for your 2015 it is because they just haven't updated their page yet.

Does anyone make a lift using just spacers that is like 1.5" front and rear?

I see Dynastar used to, I'm not find anything that small anymore though

I just checked the daystar kit and it says it won't fit my 2015 4runner. I'm not sure if that's correct. I did it on the Amazon website, any idea why? I went ahead and checked a few from the list on amazon, apparently none of them fir the 2k15

love this , thanks

Thanks

great starting point, I'm new to the 4Runner since January and have been trolling thru the forum to figure out what lift I'm going to do. I had a pretty good idea what I wanted but felt I was missing the big picture. Thanks for filling in the gaps.

Cheers

At the time those links were posted the 2015 and even some 2014's weren't being sold yet, or the catalogs had not been updated to include newer years. It is still the same suspension for all 5th Gens, with cautions for the KDSS or X-REAS equipped models. Those may require more research.

The OP mentioned that KDSS is controlled by an ECU, I was under the impression it is mechanical system as stated in the Wikipedia page linked in the OP. Any clarification on whether the system is completely mechanical or electrically controlled?

Is there an DIY for changing out front struts and rears for the 5th gens?

 

[Friedom]

Thanks for putting together this list. Might want to add Sonoran Steel to the list, their gen5 lift is pretty well researched and rated. I have yet to find it's limits on my 11 TE. It utilizes Toyota progressive front springs from a niche 4 door TRDOR Tundra setup and custom valves billstein 5100s.

Still hoping someone has an answer. I haven't found anything.

Pretty sure both toytec and daystar sells kits

Good Thread.

Just looked at wheelers, they sell a daystar 1.25" front spacer in both a preload and top spacer, you stack them to get the 2.5" lift. If that isn't enough, ome makes a 10mm spacer you can stack onto it, it will be a little more than 1.5" though.

Try cornfedsuspension.com
They custom make spacers if they don't already make the one you want. Pricey for a spacer but at least it's available.

It's wierd that no one else seems to be selling that same think. Daystar doesn't even list that on their site

Thanks for making the thread


Can anyone confirm that the Toytec BOSS kit comes preloaded from factory? It says ready to bolt on but in my experiences I've installed coils and had to unbolt everything to establish proper preload. Never again. I'm vary weary to just bolt it up :S
