before i start ordering

[kolelt]

Ok so, going to start ordering my lift parts. New shocks, front and rear. New coils front and rear, and few other things. Before I start ordering I wanna make sure I order right stuff for what I want. Here's what I want basically, is like to have 3" in front and if possible a little more in the rear due to if you tow or put stuff in the back. This is what I came up with.

Front :

Tundra 51000
Eibach coils

Rear:

Tundra 5100/ome coils
Or bilstein long travel shocks/toytec superflex coils

I'm stuck on few things, exactly on what setting do you set the front shocks on, 1st perch or 2nd ?

And I'm stuck on which rear set up to go with, if I go with long travel I will probably need longer bump stops ? Yes/no? If so where do you get them ? Can you run superflex with regular 5100 shocks ?

Another question, about the drive side lean, I don't know the proper term. Should I worry about that ? If do how do I take care of that. I have already 33" tires.

Good luck with the front Tundra Billies they're on national back order right now... When you do get them I think it's slot two you use with no additional weight up front... As far as the rear goes I'm not sure which would be better for you... I would think the Superflex setup would match best... You can order extended bump stops from Sonoran Steel he makes them for whichever setup you use

4Runner (96-02) Super Soft Rear Bump Stops $150.00 & $12.35 USPS - $162.35 : Sonoran Steel, Sonoran Steel Custom Metal Fabrication L.L.C. Custom Toyota Truck Parts

The driver side lean shouldn't be too bad with that setup, but you can buy trim packers from ToyTec for either front or rear

Hard to say with the rear. I'm running OME 891's, and I'm not happy with them with only 3k miles on them. I'll be swapping them out with Toytec's Superflex coils. Without any weight you'll have around 4", and around 3" with over 400lbs in the rear.

I have my billys on the bottom slot with eibach coils and last time I checked I was sitting at 23" both sides with addicted offroad front bumper and I believe my winch was installed.

 

[kolelt]

So if I go with with superflex, it's a must for long travel bilstein shocks ?

 

[Brazilian_Serra]

Kolelt, your car is already equipped in 33"?

Your steering rack is ok or you are planning to put another one?

Yes at this moment I am running 3" suspension spacers with 33" tires. What do u mean by putting another steering rack ? As in replacing it with a new one ? I was just planning to throw out the spacers, get new shocks all around with new coils.

Go with tundra bills second notch with eibach coils up front. Toytec superflex with extended bills out back. Will need diff drop, panhard drop and extended bump stops from ss. It's what I have and I love it.

Sounds great. How do you think it will look with 33" since I'm sure it will sit a little bit higher then 3" inches. I do not plan on running any aftermarket bumpers in the back. So I hope the back doesn't sit TO HIGH vs the front. Is your car mostly dd?

Looks great with 33s. You will have just the right amount of rake. The rear sits about 3.5 or 3.75" high vs front about 3.25". Ride is smooth and Imo it's perfect. Glad I went with it and it is my dd. I'm running stock bumpers with no plan to change either. Spend the 100.00 and have toytec build the front struts way easier and worth the money. I put 285/75/r16 duratracs on it. Also installed spidertrax spacers. All in all about 2500.00 but we'll worth the investment to do it right. Lift and spacers were about 1400 or so if I remember right tires of course about a grand.

Got a buddy who's a mechanic so he has everything we need to assemble the shocks. Also why did you need spacers ?

I said that because here in Brazil, when we equipped our truck with 33" tires, the steering rack brakes. So, I think I will equip with steering rack from Safari LTD.

I was talking with other guys in other threads and all of them says very good about it.

I needed mine to clear the UCA. Plus they give it a meaner stance.

Interesting, been driving with 33" for a long time and no problems. Where can I look into the aftermarket steering rack?

Jayhunt, sorry but what are UCA, but doesn't your ride sit even higher with spacers ?

Also anyone else do that ? Get different steering rack ?

Do u really need extended bump stops ??
How do these bump stops mount ? Do u take of the original Toyota ones of and put the daystar ones ?

I type inThe Daystar Competition Bump Stop into eBay and came across bump stops for half the price ?!

UCA = Upper Control Arm
Not lift spacers. Wheel spacers. They move your wheels out a little to clear the UCA.

Everyone is saying that SAFARI LTD is the best!

Safari LTD - Parts (New, Used Toyota, Lexus & Scion Parts)

If you contact them, tell us the price.

I'm tring to contact by email, but I'm not succeeding. Can you try by phone?

Jaynhunt,

UCA correct a incorrect angle after you install big tires, right? This also solves a premature wear of any parts? (I dont know if I write the correct expression! Sorry! I use Google Translate for this! haha)

This UCA (Camburg uniball UCA's for Toyota 4Runner 1996-2002, Tacoma 95-04) is better than this one (1996 2004 Tacoma 4x4 Pre Runner Total Chaos Uni Ball Upper Control Arm Kit | eBay

Are the daystar bump stops mount onto our original mounts or do you remove the original bump stops and put on daystar ones on? If you type The Daystar Competition Bump Stop into eBay, same mounts come.up at half the price ? Is something missing or am I stupid ?

Sorry if I am stupid too, but why I need Daystar Competition Bump Stop? What is the difference for OEM part?
