Yes, you can order up new ones and get them preassembled before shipping, then you won't have to disassemble or use the old parts.
There's a drop down option on the website to add that.

Hey Mike, 3rd gen guy here sorry to intrude on the 4th gen thread 
We spoke twice on Friday (the guy with the 4 cylinder 4Runner) and I’m planning to pick up my order from your warehouse. Just wanted to make the forum connection with you. Looking forward to installing this lift!

My Gfs ‘08 SR5 4th gen was a salvage we rebuilt. It was tracking weird and we found out frame/crossmember is tweaked. Looking for help identifying part. Hoping we can replace control arm/torsion bar bracket and straighten things out. Can anyone help me with what part number or name for this piece with the control arm clevis pin is attached to? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey Mike I just installed my lift Sunday and was wondering how much flex I should get. I don't seem to be getting much upward travel on the front end. I've tried posting a picture but it seems to be failing due to file size.
Spc uca
C59302
Ims50220
Rear
677v
Ims 50575
(Was told the rear set up will be the long travel set up)
I have rear link end set at 7.25"

How much preload do you have on the front? If it's set for too much lift, that could be affecting your travel. And different obstacles will affect how the front flexes. The front can't flex like the rear since the coils are under so much pressure and rely on a lot of pressure to hit full compression.
The springs will also take a month and about 500 miles to break in and soften up too.

Dobinsons UCA update!! The container is on the way and due right at the end of the month, so the first week or 2 of July, all pending backorders will be shipping out and there are a lot in the container also, so we can take new orders for them as well.
4Runner UCA's by Dobinsons also suit GX470 GX460 and FJ Cruiser

[MENTION=148378]Crikeymike[/MENTION] looking at ordering a suspension kit from you:
Front: C59-314 (red) with GS59-221 (black)
Rear: C59-325 (red) with GS59-701 (black)
Add a set of UCAs (not sure to get Dobinsons? SPC? Dirt King Tubular?)
New strut mounts and assembly
What’s the lead time on these items? Not sure I’m ready for it right now, but I’d rather order now if it’ll take 8 weeks or so to get here.
TIA

Hey man.
The 314's are only coming soon in teal. It will be September or later for those in red. The rest of coils/shocks are in stock now. Dobinsons UCA's are coming in July, SPC's are always in stock, DK's usually in stock or a month out.

Thanks for the info! Think I’ll wait later on until reds in.... might add some other goodies in the mean time, where I’ll need beefier springs

[MENTION=148378]Crikeymike[/MENTION] Based on the specs if I select 314 coils plus the GS59-220 strut, that's a total of 4" lift up front on my V6? I already have SPC control arms, but is this even recommended? I know I'd have to get the dif drop too. Seems like 3.5" is where people max out.

That's right but it's too much lift. You would have no down travel and it would ride really firm. Better off using the 302 coils and setting the height to no more than 3.5"
Got it, thanks! Sorry, one follow up question. I have fairly new Bilstein 5100's, if I went with 675v's in the back will they work for a while before I can upgrade to your shocks? I'd like to save up for the IMS ones if I can. Seems like the extended length is enough based on the specs, but wanted to make sure.

Yes that should be OK
finishing spec'ing out the kit
i'm set on getting the rear long travel setup with the 675v (no rear bumper or anything) + 575 long travel rear shocks. I know ext bump stops + brake lines are a must. I saw you have the Wheeler rear bump stops. Would you need just the Wheeler rear bump stops or would one need the extensions as well?
Also, would the rear 4.25" durobumps work as well for the rear long travel setup? I really dont want to bottom out and blow out the shock

The durobumps would actually work better to protect the shocks from bottoming out, so if you haven't bought any yet, those 4.25" would be ideal.i'm set on getting the rear long travel setup with the 675v (no rear bumper or anything) + 575 long travel rear shocks.

Or the Timbren's also cover it for the LT shocks and don't let the shocks bottom out.

Hello, I'm looking to purchase a kit from someone who bought the kit directly from Exit Offroad and I'm hoping that you can help me confirm that these are the right part #s for my 2006 4Runner v8.
Here is what he has:
C59-302R
GS59-701B
GS59-220B
C59-327R
Any info that you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Also, would it be necessary for me to upgrade the upper control arms with this setup?
