Did the TRD/LC lift and I'm not too stoked

[PitbullRescuer]

I can imagine you're disappointed. But luckily it's an easy fix. It will be almost dead level with 906's with 10 mm trim packers or have a little rake with 890's. I've run both of them as well as LC. 8 wraps, the 890's were my favorite.

I have no idea what you mean. What's a "lake pipe"?

Oh, the calamity! Lake Pipes are side exhaust, usually run along the rocker panel then facing out. You know, like your 66 Corvette had!

Oh you never had one? Me either..:redbrick:

Would be sweet if it had an ls6 and some lake pipes

Almost spit my coffee out when i saw the picture of the stinkbug ! 99 tall springs may be a good match also.

Went back to stock for now. I'll order some OME and some 5100s soon.

Not trying to make fun at all just gave a good laugh, thought the stink bug pic was a classic .also i thought pic #2 didn't look bad ,just a little lower in back ?all in all improved in front

It looks like the fronts gave you the ~1.75" of lift.
The rear, I'm guessing the LC coils were used, or should I say used up. 8 wraps should give you ~3.5"-4" of lift. OR, if you have a lot of weight in the back, the LC coils will squat and are a bad choice.

What OME coils are you thinking?

It could be that you are comparing with other lifts posted and they have larger tires to cover the fender gap. Either way. Look into 906 or 890 coil springs. If you go 906. It maybe level or slight rake. You can add trim packer which I did. 890 would defiantly give you about .75-1" rake. Which is not bad.

I would keep the cruiser coils. Just order some bilstein 5100 shocks for a tundra for the front like these (Bilstein 5100 Height Adjustable Front Strut Set for 99-06 Tundra). Set the shocks to the 3rd notch and you'll 4runner will sit fairly even and look much better.

I had the same setup as you in the front when I did my first lift. It netted me just under 2". For the rear, I installed OME 906s and IMO it sat perfect. It had just the right stance.
I then decided I wanted more lift, so I changed the rear springs to LC 7 wraps. To match the extra lift in the back, I added a top plate spacer to the front...

It was easy to install, and gave me a pretty good stance. Its been a year, and I haven't had any problems with it. I am however changing over to 5100s because my shocks are wearing out.

I have pics of both lifts in my build thread. You have two options. Replace the rears with 906s, or add the top plate spacer in the front. Depending on how much total lift you want will help you decide which course to take.

Im thinking the OME 890's for the rear once I order the 5100's.

Taylor20 here are the springs.
