Any pics of a 1" PP lifted T4R?

[AF808fighter]

I think I will order the PP 1" lift instead of the 3" ome since I'll be doing mostly daily driving. I was wondering if any one can shoot a pic my way of a 4runner with one.

If none get posted I will try to get one tonight, I actually haven't had a sig pic since I wrecked the 00, I guess its time to show off the 02.

So I just ordered the PP springs, got em on sale with free shipping for $289, got my monroe gas shocks/struts for $157 shipped. Hopefully these all work well together and my passengers will stop pissing blood after 20 minutes in my truck. I really wanted to go with a bigger lift but this seems more functional with no diff drop down, or CV wear issues. I wonder what's the biggest tire I can run with full turning radius retained....

let me know the ride quality once you do the swap. I am interested to see how it rides as I have heard different things about the PP springs.

Here is my 2000 with PP's and Bilsteins.

Here is my 02 with the PP springs and Billsteins.

Not a great pic because of the snow but you can kind of get the idea how far up the suspension brought it. This is before the new set up.

If I have a 99 are the PP springs going to add any height? How do you guys like your bilsteins? I am doing mostly on road driving, what shocks would you recomend?

 

[4x4Runner09]

Bilsteins should be fine for on road. I really didnt think they are that rough as people thought em to be. I don't do too much off road driving. Lots of highway for me.

If your looking for a plush ride the PP and Bilsteins arn't the way to go though. You can't beat the looks though!

rake

What's up with that crazy rake? It seems some get it and some don't...

tire sizes please

just for reference pat 161 what is your tire size?

and same for you 4x4 09?

 

[pat161]

I am still running the stock size 265/70/16, I intend on going to a 265/75/16 next time.

As for the rake I believe it is mostly due to the fact that my driveway is sloping down, it looks far less pronounced on flat ground. I would say it sits about level on flat ground with perhaps a slight rake, but better than before when the front actually looked higher than the rear.

 

[AF808fighter]

Will 285/75/16 work with the 1"?

 

[4x4Runner09]

I am running stock 265/70/16. As for the rake, my front came out much higher than the rear. I was hoping the rear would be higher as I haul a bunch of gear often.

I have more pics and close ups if you would like.

 

[Ron Helmuth]

thanks both of you

thanks for tire size reference

I am looking to solve rubbing issues on front wheelwells of my 99 running the 265/75/16 size. I may not have the "tall 99" springs, so evaluating the options.

Appreciate the replies sirs

I wont have the lift installed until next week, but I'll let you know how it feels with my street monroes. I just wanted the cheapest gas shocks I could find. Hopefully the install goes smoothly, thankfully I have an auto hobby shop on base with a lift and every tool in the world. I can't wait till those stupid noises from the rear suspension go away.

Ron,what part of the wheel well is the tire rubbing on?? Is it just minor?

 

[Ron Helmuth]

rub on the factory mud flaps-front only

Ron,what part of the wheel well is the tire rubbing on?? Is it just minor?

Snags the mudflaps up front pretty regularly when trying to make 90 degree turns-parking lots are an adventure. We have discussed before-I am guessing I do not have the taller 99 springs on mine.
