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

You can custom order any size spacer from him too if you want. More expensive that a poly spacer but will last longer.

I would like to find some new coils for the rear, but cant find any that give a true 1" lift in the rear. Something with a little higher spring rate, but only 1".

Id also recommend looking at a 5th gen oem coil. That’s what I just went with. About an inch taller (one extra coil) and slightly stiffer than the 4th gen as the 5th is heavier. Plus being relatively newer will have less sag and more of its original height/ compression- rebound and physical characteristics

Plus they are easy to find for cheap
 
Dobinson..

I would like to find some new coils for the rear, but cant find any that give a true 1" lift in the rear. Something with a little higher spring rate, but only 1".

C59-323 rear coils. I know in the dobinson threat there listed a stock ride height but i gained a little over an inch. Im using the OE isolators as well.

I paired um with the dobinson shocks as well in the back and bilstein 6112s up front for a 2/1" lift. But im only on falken 265/70/17s so YMMV
 
But are they a true 1" coil? Wheeler said the T13 coil would only give me a 1/2" lift and the reality was 2".


I think I got a true 1" but I don't remember my stock height numbers any more. I would have been happy with 1-2" but I wasn't too picky about checking the numbers. I'll let you know my hub to fender measurements tomorrow when I get a chance.

I just picked up some 5100's I plan to install next weekend. Currently, I have a daystar 1'' leveling puck on the front and Im level at all 4 corners. I plan to set the 5100's to 2.5, which should increase the front height by about 0.5". To eliminate rear rake, I wanna raise the rears by about an inch.

I know my options are FJ, 5th gen and various aftermarket suppliers. I cant find fj or 5th gen springs near me, and everyone has different information about spring height change. Can anyone point me towards something yields roughly 1" rear lift?

2004 4Runner SR5

I put on an Icon Stage 7 lift (Thank you Black Friday sales). I had to do some adjustments to the front coil overs to get the ride height just right.
I put on Vision Nemesis wheels with Milestar Patagonia M/Ts in a 285/70R17.
I had some good rubbing with everything stock, but after some trimming, it stopped unless I was under decent compression while in a turn. I also did a body mount chop (just used some steel bar to fill the area I cut).
Overall, I am very happy with this, although it was a bit on the pricey side. I saved for almost a year to buy the lift, wheels, and tires.
I think that I could fit 35s in there if I wanted to do more trimming on the fender area, but it would be tight and I feel like a regear would really be needed at that point.

Who knows, when these tires are toast maybe I will try...

Looks really good!
 
2008 4 runner

The car is a 2008 4 runner v6 2wd. With Trd pro wheels and nitto ridge grapplers 285 70 17. I also have spider trax 1.25 inch wheel spacers.

My suspension set up is all mismatched . I originally wanted to level out my car. So I purchased a bilstein 5100 kit with rear 1.8 springs. I was gonna use the front stock coils and put it at 4th notch. Then I decided to purchase some dobinson c59300 front coils. Ran that set up for a few months. So later on I wanted to go higher. Somewhere along the way I purchsed the dobinson upper control arm. That opened up possibilities of going higher. I recently purchased the Dobinson c59-677v coil so I can run 3 inches. I moved my bilstein 5100 to second clip using the c59300 coils. Im currently at 23 inches up front and 24.5 rear. Im planning on raising the front up some more I dont like the rake it has at the moment. Ill up load pics soon

Looks nice! :pimp: I really like the way the white on 4th gens.
 
Well finally upgraded my suspension, originally had TRD Tacoma front 4600 bilstein struts/springs with 1.5" Daystar spacer on stock rear springs with 5100s. Was equipped with XREAS but removed that when I installed the above stuff. So on to the new stuff, Rocking Toyotec 2.5" springs with 5100s on the front and 5100s with 2" Icon Springs rear. Went ahead and swapped my 265/70 Cooper AT for 275/70 Cooper STT MAX's.

Damn, that looks super clean, would you mind if I asked what the height front/back is by this point?

Thanks man! not at all, current measurements from ground to flare lip is:
DF:36" PF: 37"
DR: 37" PR: 38"

So driverside sits about 1" lower to the passenger side which can be corrected with spacers. Which il do eventually.

Man this looks great. How much rake do you have with this? Also, what headlights are you running? Thanks!
