I'm official now!

Picked up a 2014 trail with entune and kdss... Pretty decent deal for 1500 under invoice.

Super stoked, kinda missing my 335i sedan, but can't wait for mods!

Thinking of

A/T tires and leveling kit together

HIDs

Any other ideas?

Thanks all. Can anyone explain what I need along with the bilstein 5100s to level the front? A set of springs?

Congrats bro!

All weather floor mats are essential for kids/outdoors. They have saved my ass more than I can count. Weathertech is what I have.

Read up on HID's.. There are a few people that regret it, read the "bad idea mod" thread. The stock headlights are really wide and provide a good visual. maybe add some led fog lights instead (rigids) ??
IF thats in your near future, make sure to pick up some OEM switches right now , group buy!! lol

Regarding your leveling question, use this in the search box and type what your looking for after 'site://toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs'

such as site://toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs Leveling front. It's one of the stickies as "alternate search".. I don't blame you, because it took me maybe a year to realize it was there lol.

Have fun!!

thanks for the heads up. After reading some of the threads, I'm still a bit confused when it comes to the bilsteins, coming from modifying cars, a height adjustment (lowering) came from compressing the coil over springs or simply installing lowering springs... i'm trying to figure out how the bilsteins adjust height... do the springs sit somewhere differently on the shock body as opposed to stock ones? Or do I need different springs too?! :wave:

You don't have to get new springs to get a lift with the bilsteins. Many do, but not required. Bilsteins in the front will lift using the factory springs, in the back you have to either get a spacer or new coils. Many simply level using the 1st setting on the bilsteins and nothing in back…others lift both front and rear which again requires either a rear spacer or new rear coils.

The spring perch is adjustable via a spring clip that fits into grooves on the shock. These pics show the clip in the 2.5" position which is what I'm running.
