From what I’ve read, this kit lifts the front only about 1”.
I hope they aren't shipping this kit with springs from this batch :wow:: Broken FJ Trail Team Springs

Kit is in. I’ve gained maybe more than an inch but I’m gonna go drive around to see if anything settles. I’ll be back with pics and measurements.

I love it! No more nose dive and the height increase is fantastic. I used the 4runner as a spring compressor method and had zero issues. Truck drives straight but I'm still going to get an alignment.
Yes, I have KDSS so the rear resi mount is going to need some work. I ended up replacing the M8 hardware for 1/4-20 hardware. You will need to drill the hole on the frame in between 3/8-7/16 to get the jack nut to fit. Also, I recommend taking the KDSS end links off the front with the truck on the ground. Tie the bar up high. When you go to put it back together start on the passenger side and jack the passenger side LCA up to meet the KDSS end link. Then move to driver side.
1/4-20 jack nut short
1/4-20x1" stainless steel screw
washer/locking washer
This is where I drilled and painted the hole. The jack nut went in with a little tap with a hammer.
All together now!
Front went in with no issues other than the driver side, you need to be careful of the KDSS hose near the spring.
Passenger side was no problem
All done!
Now my measurements are from the ground to the fender, if you want from center of hub to fender than just subtract 15" (distance from center of hub to the ground with my 265 terra grapplers)
These measurements are as rough as can be, but they still show an increase.
Before
RF little less than 34 1/2"
RR little more than 36 1/2"
LF little less than 34"
LR little more than 36 1/2"
After
RF 35 1/4"
RR little more than 36" (need spacer)
LF 36 1/4"
LR little more than 37"
Going to take more measurements as I drive the truck to see if it settles.
I left the shocks as they came from Toyota, driver side on top setting and passenger side on bottom setting. Kinda wished I moved the passenger side to the top but I can always do that on down the road.

Nice. Based on Vmax's install, it looks like a 0.75" lift using the bottom perch, and a 2.5" lift with the top perch. I'll probably used the top perch and avoid using a spacer.

Thanks for grabbing the before and after measurements.
I'm at the Toyota in Roswell if you need a good alignment, ideal to get some caster back after lifting it up in front.

I fat fingered the measurements so it's not 2.5"
I would love that! How late do you guys stay? I work in Alpharetta until 4pm.
Thank you for the pictures of the install. I've placed my order today and should receive this kit before the end of the week. (Fingers Crossed) I don't receive a call telling me I can't have these. Or that I need a VIN #. etc.

Trd coil swap
Been researching. Found a few options it seems for adding lift coils and get different spring rates to accommodate for plate bumpers and winches etc. the stock Trd coils are I believe 550lb 3x13”. You can use either a Eibach or king coilover which has been done. A 3”x14” 650 or 700lb rate.
I may get the king coilover 3”x14” 650# . Saw them ranging about 80each.

Prr Toyota, it appears like the TRD Springs from this kit are 3”x14” 600# rated which is the same other TRD kits and bilsteim 6112.
I wish Dobinsons to come out with their TRD shock specific springs asap which will be half inch taller at same weight.

Just ordered a kit from https://toyotaparts.bochtoyotasouth.com/ - didn't ask for any additional info or a VIN. We'll see if it goes through. I wasn't going to install a lift as I am really limited by my parking garage's height, but at this price it was hard to pass up. Guess I'll have to hold off on tires until I see how much headroom I'm actually working with after this. :cheer2:
