Excited about my first 4Runner & built ideas!!

I will be following this thread closely and taking notes. This is almost the exact route I will be taking with my '97. Thanks.

Spoke with wheelers off-road just now and I indeed need to take it back apart and lower the setting on the front shocks to the lowest of the three. It’s currently set up wrong with the spring I am running so it unfortunately needs to come apart

And this adjustment will level the truck out? Or put the fron a little lower than the rear?

D558-TO just took them out and lowered them to the bottom ring as advised and it’s level. I’ll post a new pic after alignment tomorrow as it’s dark now

After adjusting the front to the correct setting and getting it aligned.. all I can
Say is wow!!! These 5100s and spring combo make it ride 10x better than stock. Extremely happy with the outcome. Now just to add the FXs and new tires with new LBJs

So I got a deal on brand new 285/70/17, I called wheelers off-road and they advised to get 2.75-3” out the front of mine I would add a .5 spacer move my Bilstein to 0 and I should be at 2.75-3” in the front with my 881s. Anyone tried this combo?
