Nice rake now, it'll probably drop a bit once it settles (and I get my rear bumper/carrier done).

That's a sweet 4runner, pretty much exactly what I'm hoping to do if I can ever manage to find one
 
Yup! LOL! Next up, changing out UCAs again (SPC), and selling my old stuff.



Thanks man! You'll find yours soon!

Even though our rigs are really similar, I always feel like mine doesn't look quite this good lol. I suppose you get desensitized to your own stuff.

I need to get those 701's and then 14" 700lb springs for the coilovers. May as well have them rebuilt instead of just swapping the springs too. I feel like the stock springs on my Icons are really preloaded for where I'm running them. Never ends man, never ends.

I posted a while back asking whether to get the OME 884 front coil springs or the Eibach 112-620p's (paired with bilstein 5100's). I ended up going with the Eibachs and love the way it turned out. Set the billies back down to the 0" position and threw the eibachs on and received exactly 2.5 inches of lift in the front (also added 1/4" top plate spacer to drivers side) and rides much better than it did when I was preloading the factory springs with billies set at 2.5". If anyone is interested in pics I can post them later.

Desensitized man, I'm the same way haha.

730lb springs up front for me now, a tad stiff, but they're fresh and I'm not done adding weight quite yet. The 701Vs are surprisingly not too bad, even empty (for now).

Where did you get that grill? I want one lol.

I made it!
 
I joined this forum in 2008 after buying my Sport off the lot (first new car in my family). Planned on upgrading it at the time - started humbly w/ Weathertech mats. Then life happened, as it does.



Fast forward to 2020 - I've got a meager 99k miles on the old gal, and X-REAS is shot, and tires need replacing. Perfect time to begin what I'd "started" in

08.



Toytec 3" Ultimate, Chaos UCAs, Stainless brake line extension, SCS Stealth 6 Gunmetal 17s, Toyo A/T III 285/70/R17 blacks (lurked long enough to call them 33s). I'm in love.
Dang she looks good!

Not sure I ever posted it since it got lifted.
It's going through some changes coming up soon...

Right after I bought it (2014)

^ Thanks!
I kind of lucked out when I bought it.
In the original ad, the seller didn't take very good pics.
And I think that's why it was for sale as long as it was.
But it was one-owner and he took immaculate care of it.
Garage kept, dealer maintenance all down the line.
And sold it right at the 100k mark, as he did with all of his vehicles.
I didn't know it was green until I saw it myself in person.
If he had taken better pics, I think it would have sold long before I saw the ad.

Got some pics? I just ordered 5100's and trying to decide which front springs. Is your truck v8 or v6?

Yeah let me upload some this afternoon, I have a v6 and got right around 2.5-2.7" of lift, I heard toytec say they really don't settle much. I'm super happy with them the rear still has about an inch higher of lift so I retained the forward rake (which I wanted)

Sorry for the delayed response. Here are the pics I took. Plan on getting larger tires very soon to fill the wheel well a little more. And like I said before I have retained a little forward rake by a little less than an inch. I plan on replacing the rear springs in the future as well, I currently have the FJ springs with 1.5 daystar spacers in the rear.

Awesome looks great, those springs seem to go nicely with the 5100's. I might end up goin with the eibach's. Might go with heavy springs in the back because I plan on having a couple hundred pounds of weight back there with a sub and and hopefully bumper
 
Very late to the game and still pretty stock. 07 V8 Limited 2WD

Did a 3 inch lift today with a Toytec/Bilstein kit.

Tires will be picked up soon, closer to Black Friday.

Just finished the suspension on my wife’s ‘07 Limited. KYB Strut Plus coilovers up front, KYB shock absorbers and Moog coils for the rear. Lifted the front about 2”. Turned out excellent, I’m very pleased with the ride height. I know it will settle a little over time. The truck rides better than ever! Tires are 265/60R18 Wildpeaks.
