3/2 spacer lift
No wheel spacer
** minor** rubbing, nothing a little cutting won't remove
275/70/18 trail hog

Rides great, looks way better in person

I love this set up. Do you have any other pics with the lift and tires? Also, do those tires clear the stock UCA's without any wheel spacers?
Thanks

3" Toytec Lift Installed!

Ever since the 4Runner was handed down to me (8 years ago) I've been wanting to install this lift! 3" Toytec Boss Lift. Light Racing UCA's. Crown Performance Extended Rear Brake Lines. New CVs. Should get many more miles out of the rig! Now just need to fill those wheel wells up with some 285s and get an alignment!

That looks like a lot more than three inches of lift. I'm at about 3. With 295/70/17.

Came out to 4.5" higher all around (center of hub to fender) right after install. Not sure how as toytec ships front coilovers at 2.5" lift and rear springs at 2" lift. Should adjust/sag in due time.

Damn that's weird.

It ain't gonna adjust/sag that damn much. That's a huge b!tch.

EDIT: Is it on jack stands in that pic?

I had to crank my front coilovers way down to end up at about 3" of lift... the adjustment collars are just about bottomed out. It seems like the adjustment range would be 2.75" to about 11" of lift!

Haha definitely right that it won't go down 1.5"
And nope, not on jack stands.

Once I get new tires and wheels, I'll definitely have to adjust. Thanks for your input!

^Good screen name. U got Datsuns?

U have 5100's up front too? The Toytecs must have more lift than the OME895E rears. I have 884's and 5100's in front and no rake.

Are your bilsteins set to 0"? I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of 895e's, but I want to make sure it'll fix the rake. Otherwise I'll go with some stock FJ Moogs. Thanks!

Bil's set to 0. The 895E's actually settled a little. Rear is sligntly lower than the front.

 

[Bago]

Has anybody tried the Rancho Quicklift? i know i'll be removing my Xreas soon and ive been looking at options.

Do the light racing UCAs make a difference in the alignment? Im at 3" lift with 33's and stock UCAs and they seem to do just fine.

 

[ryanking61]

.....

Is that a custom flag mount or did you buy it from somewhere?

How much noise does the spare tire and roof rack add?

Here is my '05 post Toytec Ultimate w/285 70 17 Duratracs:

Sorry about the crappy iphone pics, but the weather really sucks right now, and Mrs. Preacher will not let me take the really nice camera out. As it sits, there is about 1" of rake, which I do not like, so I will probably do a little adjusting in a week or two. The Bilstein 5125's that Toytec sent (due to shortage of rear 5100's, I absolutely HATE (enormous, spongy rebound). Luckily, Toytec has agreed to swap them out now that they have rear 5100's in stock again. 5125's aside, I really love the new suspension as it really soaks up terrain. I cannot wait for my November Big Bend National Park trip and December's Colorado trip to really test it out! My assessment of the Duratracs is on-going. They have only been on the truck about 24 hours, but initially, I noted that they are much quieter than I thought that they would be. I know they get louder with wear, but that's why I have two amplifiers, after all!

Anyway, next purchase will be Shrockworks bumper and LED light bars.

How's that gibson exhaust sound?

 

[ryanking61]

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. View attachment 197294

Not sure if you're keeping them on because you need them, but you should take the running boards off! Really simple, only takes maybe 10 minutes, and makes it look a TON better!

 

[Wile.E.Coyote]

Just put on new wheels:

Bilstein 5100s at 1.75"
FJ springs, Daystar 1.5" spacer in rear.
Konig Six Shooter 17x9, 0 offset
265/70r17 Hankook Dynapro ATM

Before with stock wheels, same tires & suspension:

The wider wheels with 0 offset really push the tires out, I didn't measure or do the math but seems like 1.5-2" pushed outward.

 

[ryanking61]

Now that, is a 4runner. Seriously wish I had the money to do something like that to mine!
