Lift Help/Questions

[Jallen48]

I am going to lift my 2011 TE soon. I wanted to know a lift that would make the rig sit level or maybe even squat a tad like this:

I do not want the lift to make it sit like this where it might be level but it doesn't really appear that way:

NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE RUNNERS SITTING LIKE THAT! I AM NOT MEANING TO STEP ON ANYONES TOES!I JUST PREFER MINE TRUCKS TO SQUAT OR TO APPEAR LEVEL!



I am new to the 4runner game but not the lift game haha. I was wondering if I got a basic revtek, rough country, pro comp, etc. lift that has the spacers for the front and the shocks for the rear, if i replaced the front spacers with bilsteins 5100 shocks and cranked them up to the max height and left the rear shocks the revtek etc. if that would make it level? Or if I would just be better off to get the toytec ultimate lift? Also, What year fj cruise lifts are compatible with 5th gen 4runner lifts?

Thanks for any help!

I think the Daystar levelling kit is what you're looking for. Or the Blistein's. Great to see another member from the Carolinas! I can post links later, on my phone at the moment.

You could piece a kit together with random parts. OR you could just buy a toytec Ultimate or Icon stage 1 And have a much better product that you could then adjust to what you wanted. You will be much happier in the end.

^ What he said! I have the Toytec Ultimate 3" lift kit on my 2011 SR5 and love it, it's adjustable to your preferred look/height and rides great. Go with Toytec or Icon and you wont have any regrets.

lift

I just put on the 5100's and drove home about 5 mins ago. My truck sits just about level. I put the front adjustment at 1.75" lift. I can post a pic if you want later, but I agree with you - I like the level look too, and I live in an area where getting off road is unlikely at best so I don't need the 2" of lift all around. I just wanted to get better handling, a level ride and fit some bigger tires.

Speaking of that, does anyone know how big I can go with this set up. I'm thinking 285's might be a little big without the 2" up front.

Also, I'm wondering if I need to get the sway bar relocation brackets for my set up. The guys said they had a hard time getting the sway bar back on, and they also lined up my truck outside of Toyota specs. Everything was green except for my left front caster, it sits at 2.4. I'm not sure what it is supposed to be at, but the right front is green at 2.5.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
