Labor cost for wheel spacers

[Crossfit4runner]

I wouldn’t mess with spacers in the first place. I’ve had them and tried everything to get my tires not to run. Only option was go back to stock size tires or a BMC. I took them off after month.

Not that you lift the whole truck at once but a 4Runner weighs more than 4000lbs. The 6000lb jack also lifts three inches more than the 4000lb which you may need.

I went with the 6000lb myself.

Hey guys - I know it's easy to install wheel spacers but I do not own a jack for a lifted 4runner or a torque wrench. It might be worth buying them and doing it myself but does anyone know the cost for a shop to do it? I'm thinking a 20 minute job right?

The typical hourly shop rate in California is around $100 per hour.

Yes, it could (and probably will) take as little as 20 minutes, however it would take longer to do the job properly.

Personally not a fan of spacers, but you didn't ask.

You need better friends with tools :bounce:

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the standard bottle jack will work well, even with larger tires. You'll want to place it under the axles which aren't affected by your lift.

So on trails, MAYBE you need a large Jack base for your stock jack. At home though, a nice jack and jack stands from Ace, HD, or Lowes will be plenty useful.

Don't get a Hi-Lift jack. You do not need it.
Also. get a friend or family member with stuff and know-how and see what they're using.

For jacks, I've used my low profile jack on the 4R, from when I always played with lowered cars. For the rear, I jacked it up from the middle of the axle. Gets up more than high enough. For the front, I used the little circle indentation, this barely gets the front up high enough.
In the near future, I do plan to order the Pro Eagle 2 or 3. Or maybe have my friend fabricate a plate extension for current jack.

I see you're in socal, if you need some help, or want to use my equipment, hit me up

I put this on my low profile jack: Off Road Jack Extension 8" OR 15" - Pro Eagle

with this adapter: Lift pad EXTBM - Pro Eagle

I just needed to file the center hole a little larger on the adapter to get it to fit on my low profile jack.

OH SNAP! I didn't realize they made those to work with other brand floor jacks. I used my brother in laws Pro Eagle and thought it was what I needed. Then I saw the price... and just put it on the back burner list of things I want to buy.

Was going to get a friend who does a little fabrication to make me a spacer to sit on top of the jack.

But this will do exactly that. awesome stuff! thanks for the info.

The few times I read about wheel spacers failing was when the user had a shop install them. Agreed with everyone on here, do it yourself, do it right, and make sure to continue checking. If that's a pain for you, just get a big negative offset wheel, safer in the long run.
