good grief, philsey, this picture is at an angle! LOL

I should take a pic of mine, but I'm lazy. Maybe this weekend.

HwyChile, Billy's have a lifetime warranty, don't worry about leaks. Mine are set to .85 in the front, and love it. If you want to completely eliminate the nose dive, the stock springs have to go.

It would be awesome to see a pic. Thanks.

Did the front last year, time to do the rear. Arrived today, going in tomorrow.

Just out of curiosity, who makes a slightly stiffer spring that won't lift the vehicle? I prefer springs that don't lift--just slightly stiffer. I would use the shocks and set it to .85 at most.

Hey just visited an offload shop today discussing leveling my trail. His recommendation was a daystar 2.5 spacer. After extensive research on this site and reading every thread imaginable about bilstein 1500's I think it's the way I want to go(i had spacer on my 06 SE and wanna try something diff).The biggest issue I struggle with is wether to go .85 or 1.75 setting? I don't really want to spaceer the rear.

Also does anyone know a decent shop in Vegas? Or where have you had them installed? This is the first mod for my new 4runner and want it to look good. Thanks for helping to beat this horse.

Hey neighbor, looks I'm late to this party... The lift isn't too bad to do yourself...

The first link below covers a lot of the questions I had when first looking into it... And the other two links are great write ups to walk you through it, if you decide to take it on yourself or at least see what you would be getting into. Just a heads up metaltech's Black Friday sale is coming up which helps the cost. As for the instal I asked the local 4wheels parts shop on Tropicana and I think they told me $500 in labor since already had got the parts from metal tech. No first hand experience with them though.

You should try hooking up with a forum member in your area to do the lift install yourself. I believe [MENTION=83218]Vegas[/MENTION] installed his own lift. Not that I am volunteering anyone, but there are always people willing to help other members out on this forum.
