Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

[Porqupine82]

Sure thing HOJeepster. Your 4Runner has been one of the many inspirations for my build. Here are a few pics that I had already but I would gladly take more if there are specific ones you would like to see. The install wasn't hard except that it didn't fit perfectly so I had to mess with it some after the install. I wish the bumper was 1/2" wider so that each side was spaced away from the body by 1/4". The sides of my bumper touch the rearmost fender flare brackets on both sides and a little extra width would eliminate that. I could lower the bumper to get a little more room but I would have to make some spacers to do that. I ended up wedging some rubber bushings between the bumper sides and the body to keep the sides spaced out a bit. In the first pic you can also see the driver's side bumper side is angled up. I used one of the spacers from the old trailer hitch to align it.

This is the thread I followed for the install but newer bumpers are a little different apparently as there are no angled brackets that bolt on in wheel well area and the tire carrier spindle is welded on now.

I love the bumper but as with a lot of custom fabricated stuff there always some tweaking...

Looks great

3 inches of lift,2 in the rear and tires that weigh 73lbs a piece. Plus the v8 full time 4wd
13.5 mpg sounds about right lol

Damn, are you modded or stock(ish)? I'm asking because you should be able to get better mpg then that if you are trying. Stock, I could get 22+ (highway) mpg if I was really trying. Avg was about 17-18.

 

[wracks03s]

do you have a better shot of those wheels? and what is the width and offset? thanks!

 

[tc05runner]

17x9 -5 offset

Yea, if your 13.5 is direct form the on board mpg display, that's about right. Over size tires will through off the calculation. If that's so, you are probably getting a little better the 13.5 in actuality. I'm diggin your ride and love those Method's!

Yeah from the display! And they're American Eagle alloy wheels lol I got them because the look exactly the same as methods which I had before but I saved a few hundred bucks going with these ones

 

[tc05runner]

No I'm not the stick out about about 1/4-1/2 inch from fender with the tire.

No problem it's probably my favorite style so far.

Just purchased 5100's and toytec springs front and rear. I'm looking to fit 255/75/17 cooper at3's. Anyone have any suggestions on where to set the front spring seat? I was thinking the .85 position as the springs will give me 2 inches in the front?

According to this, that tire size fits stock. Bilstein recommends lowest notch if using lift springs.

Deciding on Rear Coil Options

2003 SR5 V6 120,000miles
I just put Icons on the front. I got them pretty much new from Trdmedic. They are great and I love the ride. I also had a friend that was selling very lightly used icon 1-3" rear monotube shocks for cheap.

Now I'm trying to decide on the rear coils to go with. I don't want much more than 1" of lift in the rear so I was thinking of Sway Away 1.5" rear coils... But I have to get at least 1" to use the icon shocks, and avoid the coils from becoming unseated at full droop.

I'm going to go to 265/75/16s so I also want wheel wells to look nicely filled. There are my measurements from center of hub. And a picture of what Old Dolores (yes, that's her name) looks like right now. Any help? Suggestions? Pictures of a similar set up?
