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

Lol, no drama honestly I just got out of the Army and I've been doing everything I can find around the house and on the 4Runner looking to occupy my time before I start my new job. You just provided me with an opportunity to have something else to do... Until I realized it was a horrible idea lol. No worries

Cool. Just so you know, there are a couple different styles on ebay for cheap. Some will even color match for not much more. Been thinking about adding one to mine. Not something I would normally want to add to a lifted SUV, but my last one had one and I really liked it.

Yea ill prob try to look for the smaller one. Mine looks alright from a lot of angles except for the one I took the pic at

Looks good. Does she rub?
Whats the story behind your license plate? (if you don't mind m asking)

 

[morphious]

That's why I mentioned it ..mmm.
You flipped/rotated yours steering/tie rods ..but then again I have play in my driver side tie rod which was new I installed moogs on both sides just before my last trip.
So really it's rather hard to say are you high or am I low.
But I will fix mine this week and take it back in to see what happens then

FYI, I figured out why my caster is currently so high, because of the spindles my rear end is now about 1.5" or so lower than the front adding positive caster. I am currently in the process of figuring out what I want to do to raise the rear. What is your current rear suspension configuration?

A test fit, 1/4" clearance to body mount and lots of contact with the already pushed forward liner at the front. 1" body lift and some trimming to start on tomorrow.

Thanks guys!

Nice! What do you alignment numbers look like?

Here's the numbers:

Caster- L- 4/R-4.5
Camber- R-0/L-1/2+
Toe- 1/16 in

She definitely rubs a bit—typical spots. After the alignment though, it solved more rubbing issues than I thought possible! I moved the fender liners forwards a bit, but still need to go another couple inches. That's the only place it rubs as of now. Will remove the rear mud flaps this weekend.

Hah, and the license plate is just jumbled photoshop! Sorry, no interesting story to be told.

Rear: 5100's, FJ springs, 1.5 daystar's from floor to wheel well 39.75" height

Front: 5100's, FJ coils, 4" lift spindles from floor to wheel well 41" height

This weekend I will be ordering either the All Pro 3" rear lift springs or Icon 2" lift springs (people are seeing 3" lift from these)

17x9 -12 285/70r17. Added a 1" body lift, trimming on front bumper corners, and body mount chop for no rub during parking lot testing.

 

[mabeair]

my 07 4runner have had it for about a month started with daystar 2.5/1.5 and fj springs, bought another set of 17" factory wheels with spidertrax spacers and 265/70r17 bfg KO2's hoping to do more in the near future.

You had to trim even with the body lift ? That's very weird. All I had to do was trim plastic. I don't even need the body mount chop and I have 295/70/17 Toyo MT. And I have fully locked and turned it all the way I have about another inch or so to clear

Yep, it can be different based on alignment and wheel width/offset. At this sizing the arc the outside edge of the tire travels along left about 1/8" at the body mount and plowed into the fender liner hard in the front. I would rather trim more and have tons of clearance than tear up something unexpectedly.

Well that makes sense. I didn't think the alignment would be that much different.
My wheel is 17x9 -5 offset but back spacing is the same.

Finished with my 1" BL, prepping for 35's
