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

Looks nice.

Is that not a 4x4? Im surprised you can get a 2WD in canada. Here in the northern untired states, difficult to find one from a dealership thats 2wd, though used dealers usually start to import older vehicles from down south, so maybe that one is originally from southern US?

It's 4x4. No 2wd were available at dealerships in Canada so I hear. When I first started looking into the 4Runner I was surprised to learn there was a 2wd option. Seems like all SUV's should have some sort of 4x4 or AWD option if you ask me.

I have only had this for about 6 months ans love it. Spent over a year looking for the right one. I came from an X5 with 350,000km and overly expensive broken gadgets on it. The 4Runner is way more truck like in the ride but I like it a lot.
 
Ahh gotcha - yea I was surprised when looking at the badging - usually they say 4x4 next to sport runner badging. Let us know any updates
 
Tires Update

Howdy,

How are you still liking those Falkens? I need to replace the GY Silent Armors on my 07 LTD, going back to the same stock size. These are looking like a good option.

Thanks,
Ben

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.

2005 V8 4runner

Before- Stock

During- Bilstein 5100, 265/70/r16 Falken Wildpeak AT, Black Tacoma Wheels, Off road grille lights, Blacked out grille and logos. (Kept Bilstein shocks and lights for final build of course :))

After- OME 885 front, OME 895e rear, 285/70/r17 Falken Wildpeak MT, Method 305nv wheels, new lower control arms for alignment, LED headlights and fog lights. Relocated fender liner, trimmed bumper, slight forward alignment to avoid body mount chop. No rubbing!

Will get more pics of the final build!

Did this set up retain the factory rake, or did it level it out?

Thanks!
 
Got around to upgrading my 2008! Loving how it turned out.



Ripped out the old XREAS (which went surprisingly quickly...) and put in

Toytec/Bilstein 5100 on the front, Toytec Aluma Series on the Back with Superflex springs. SCS Ray10 in Matte Dark Bronze with Falken Wildpeak AT3 at 265/70/17. Had to do a little bit of trimming of the front mud flap and push the fender liner up a bit, but all in all nothing too crazy.

Kings 2.5 all around with 550 lb springs up front and bilstien b12 1.5” rear springs and 265/75 16 k02s on stock Tacoma trd wheels. Got some wheels with a -20 offset ready to be picked up

Damn, I want some pretty blue bling in the wheel wells lol. How’s the ride with that light a spring? Generally people run 650.

Right on man, thanks. I actually had 650s in the front originally and it was way to stiff for a stock weight vehicle, even for a V8. When doing research, most guys are running 550-600lb springs with their kings to achieve that legendary Cadillac ride and king actually recommended 550. I’m glad I went with the 550 instead of the 600

New FN Wheels and Toyo 285 70 17 AT3s. Lift was added, also.

Few questions for you.

What's your current lift height at?

Do you plan on raising it with new wheels?

I'm debating kings and dobsinons MRR but really want a comfy street ride. Do you daily this and are you focusing on street ride quality?

I didnt take before measurements but I’ll m sitting at 22” front and 23” rear (center of wheel to fender). I’m thinking of transferring the tires over to the new wheels and run it like that until the tires go bad so I won’t be adjusting the height until I get 33s.
This is a daily/weekender family mobile that will never really see any kind of real action, just fire roads and light trails. I know some people that prefer a stiffer ride on the street but I love the feel of the kings. Definitely has a lot more body roll but feels so smooth on bumpy roads

Heard. Thank you.
 
Just got some vision manx 2 and 285/70/17 Toyo open country At III's put on. Had to do some trimming. Alignment almost back in spec with stock UCA's at Firestone Tech said.

5100's all around set to bottom. 885 in front, superflex in rear. Almost want to put a top plate spacer to bring the front up a bit more, idk yet. What do you guys think is that a good idea.

Replaced rear suspension with Dobinsons long travel and upgraded from 275/70/17 to 285/75/17's. The 34's fit no problem with BMC and a hammer to the pinch weld
