Getting ready for a Body Lift!

[JustAnotherT4R]

Ok its about time i get working on my 4runner, since the Gf gave me the go ahead that she is spotting the money to finish it off. i been searching the whole T4R.org for answer and nothing has really came up for the past few weeks.

got a some question about doing a 3" BL.

i know 4crawler sell them. i know what i need. i am curious any other 3rd gen did this yet and what problem did they run into? like did they need to buy more piping or longer brake line?

this is used with a 3" suspension lift that will be running on 18" wheels with 33" tires for now.

Also who makes Stainless Steel brake line that are a few inch longer then stock? nothing shows up in a the search.

I dont do any hardcore off roading.

any comment will help pos. & neg. about the lift, but anything about me then save the drama for yourself.

Thanks

I have the same setup right now (3" BL 3" Susp), except I'm running 33" tires on 16" wheels.

I didn't install the kit myself, but I believe you will need longer brake lines. www.northwestoffroad.com sells some sweet stainless steel lines or you can always check out www.performanceproducts.com

I had my truck back the next day after dropping off for the install.


I'm pretty sure all the info you would need about the body lift should be at www.4crawler.com

that was fast responds. sweet thanks for the info. how you like the way it drive and feel with the 3" BL and 3" sus.?

 

[Ill4Runner]

It's awesome man, you'll enjoy it. No complaints.

 

[JustAnotherT4R]

did you buy a panhard bar drop bracket?

 

[Ill4Runner]

Diff drop? Yes.

 

[JustAnotherT4R]

i should have been more clear. its for the lateral bar to keep your rear even. this is the product

I did not buy that and I've never had steering issues. First time I've seen that.

 

[Ill4Runner]

Just an update. I've paid attention to my steering when I've gone over railroad tracks here (believe me, they are not taken care of) and I do not have a counter steering problem. My wheel holds steady.

Save up for a hood with a hood scope.
I think with shipping and handling you can get the hood for around $340...

It comes in black primer so.

I want to do this particular set up myself.
(3" BL, 3" Sus)

But I hear the feel of roll over is greater.
Is this true?
