Daystar vs. Cornfed vs. Bilsteins

[rockwall]

It is high time to lift my 4Runner. I have replaced my stock crap Dunlops with Michelin Cross Terrains in stock size. They are awesome tires and only have 16,000 miles on them. Replacement is out of the question right now.

I want the best looking and performing lift with these tires. I am considering the Cornfed 2/1, Daystar 2.5/1.5, and/or four Bilsteins.

Please offer your advice. Any pics would be a great bonus too!

imo, if u want to improve ur ride the most & also get a lift, do the billies with a small spacer to lift the back.

Do some searching for FJ springs and Bilstein 5100's.
I think you'll find that set up will give you the 2/1 lift you're looking for AND get the AWESOME ride of the FJ/Bilstein set up. I know it's not on your list to compare, but just a thought. If you were able to ride in a 4runner w/ that set up, I promise you would do it and never look back.

Cost:
FJ springs: Free-$100
Bilstein x 4: $290 shipped
Install labor: $225ish

And remember that's not just to lift like the spacers to, but to change the coils with the shocks all while lifting and giving a better ride.

If you're looking for a $200 quick lift w/ the stock stiff ride, one of your mentioned options may be better. Good luck!!
