The story is... my UCA's had around 175K miles on them. A member on this forum sold me his OEM UCA's off of his brand new 4runner because he upgraded to aftermarket ones. So instead of removing my UCA's and installing new bushings and ball joints, I just installed the whole assemblies from a 5th gen that were brand new.5th gen UCAs? whats that about, guess I missed that thread.
...its too clean...

Cool, seems like they can stuff 285's on the 5th gen( I didn't know that) thought maybe something was 'better' with the 5th UCAs.
I have a stock 2018 4Runner. Trying to decide if I should lift or not. I normally travel forest roads and two tracks. Trying to decide if I should just upgrade to better tires and keep things stock or lift and add bigger tires. Cons of a lift are recalibrate speedo and kdss and alignment. I would also sacrifice gas mileage. Most of my trips are hundreds if not thousands of miles. Would I benefit from a lift. Thoughts??
That looks sweet. I have an '08 as well but just a Sport. Do you have a 2" spacer lift in the back to match? I'd love to see a side shot if you have one.
Fox 2.0 coilovers up front set a bit under 2.5"
OME 895 springs with Fox 2.0 in the rear 2"
Goodyear Duratrac 285/70/17
Trimmed front bumper, fender liners moved forward, mudflaps and running boards removed
Method Standard wheels 17x8.5 0 offset 4.75 backspacing
No body lift or body mount chop, stock UCA
Haven't had any rubbing with moderate wheeling
Fox 2.0 coilovers up front set a bit under 2.5".....
Some updated photos of my '07 Limited. Now on VTX Vipers and 295/70/17 Falken MT01s. Toytec Ultimate set at 3" and a 1.5" body lift. I'll be adjusting back down to 2.5" in the front though for more rake, I adjusted it up to compensate for a steel bumper I was going to order but things got in the way:blah:

Your 4Runner looks amazing just like it is! Why would you want more rake in the front? I have more rake than I want and plan to eliminate it when I can save up and buy a better suspension set up.
