First 4Runner..... couple questions please....

[rennurfor]

Hello, glad to have found this forum.....

I just bought an 03 T4R and I have a question regarding it's front ride height. It's lower in the front than the rear, is this normal for this model? I'd like the front to be as high as the rear.

The factory tow package / hitch is a small hitch bolted to the rear frame, is this also normal. According to my owners manual this is good for towing around 6500 lb?

Those are my main concerns.

Thanks
Dave

if you haven't already check out the lift and tire central here, lost of great ideas and pics

The front-down rake is common- for better gas mileage and I would guess, more stability at highway speeds. I don't mind it and if I lift the 4R, I may not even make it level, though it does look a bit better that way.

I did stumble across that thread. Some nice stuff there. Thanks for the link.

Your probably correct on the stability reasons. I still think I'd like to level it, but not if it'll sacrfice too much.

Thanks
