4runners getting the new tires mounted and balanced, and a front end alignment done and she will be ready for pics. Only weird thing is I have both vcs lights on as we'll as the abs light on.... I'm most positive I didn't stretch the abs lines so I'm not sure what's going on there

So the Lift is finally done! Man I tell you what its really nice having some suspension. The stock stuff had about 1in of travel before hitting the bump stops, so much needed upgrade. I have the VSC disable which worked perfect, until I did the lift. Now my VSC off, VSC trac, and ABS light is on. I made sure not to put any tension on the actual line running into the hub on the front. I installed new extended lines and bled them just like i did before, but the lights stay on. Tried resetting the ECU (battery disconnect) but no change. I guess tomorrow I'll pull all the wires and inspect them, but i doubt the wiring went bad at the same time I did the lift. Maybe I inadvertently pulled the lines....

Do it man! I absolutely love mine, took about 4 hours for the front and rear. The worst part was the rear shocks, i ended up sawzaling the rears off through the rubber grommet and it just fell off.

I've heard nothing but good things about it so far. sounds easy enough lol were you working by yourself? I might have one of my buddies help me out since I haven't had any experience doing this sort of thing

I had a buddy help, he had no mechanical knowledge whatsoever and it was still a pretty quick install.

Just got around to installing my Extended brake lines for the rear, as well as the extended bump stops, and rear Diff breather. Next think should be CJ axles and that should be it for a while!

So I finally got around to doing the drl disable mod, I don't know why but it just annoyed me seeing the lights on when I didn't want them on

Which one did you do? The simple wire cut or did you do the one with the switch so you can re-enable them if you want.

I just did the one wire clip, I won't ever want to re-engage it lol

Its been a while since I have updated this thread, but I got a couple parts on order.
AAE Rack and Pinion from Rock Auto
Energy Suspension Kit# ENS-8-10103R
A/c Idler Pulley
Parking Brake Lever
Moog Outer Tie Rods
Got to order a high pressure hose and a low pressure hose, and I should be good to go for getting the 4runner back up to par. Sucks that I am spending all this money on preventative stuff, and not on fun stuff like a super charger, lol.
