[yellowssm]

Here are the specs and pics enjoy :wavey:

2005 Limited V8 4x4
OME 885 front springs
1/4" toytec spacers in front
Superflex rear springs
1.5" Daystar spacer in driver rear side only
Bilsteins 5100's all around (front set at lowest setting)
Spiderstrax 1.25" spacers
Michelin LTX M/S2 in 265/70/18 on limited wheels

It rubs pretty bad but it looks like an easy fix with minor trimming to mudgaurds. I havent driven it yet except for around the parking lot but it feels like it has alot more body roll.

Lookin good!! :bravo: Wow, that Daystar spacer really kicks that back end up the air. Wonder how it will settle? My Superflex coils only settled about .25".

because the driver side sits lower than the passenger side. I think its a couple hundred pounds heavier. The daystar levels it out. A mechanic at work did it for me. I work at a toyota dealership

Lookin' good! How much lift did you get?

 

[yellowssm]

I didn't measure before and after.

I'm not gonna lie - I don't like way the front end geometry looks, especially the LCA.

Did they get it aligned properly again? Should have gone with AT's at least, IMO.

Can you elaborate please? Also he just finished the lift this afternoon. I didn't have an alignment yet. Shouldn't I wait for it to settle a few days to a couple weeks before an alignment? This while will never see dirt so no reason to go at tires. If I ever did go off roading I'd buy another set of wheels and some mt tires

looks good man, needs bigger tires IMO

I wish I could fit bigger tires but I don't wanna lose the gas mileage and don't wanna do more work making them fit

I love that color, I don't think I've ever seen a Salsa Red 4Runner, must be a U.S. only color? or very rare in the part of Canada I live in.

But that lift is nice, probably similar to what I'd do if I lifted, looks pretty good with those tires too. I'm trying to pick out a new set of tires and those might make my list after seeing your 4Runner

I think you'll need tires with thicker sidewall and wider shoulder to help lessen the body roll.

looks good!

70 series is plenty of sidewall I think.

I think he means thicker in terms of plys. Looks good! Are you rubbing at all?

Well if it's more plus then they would have been heavier therefore doing the opposite of what I was trying to do which was lose as little
Mpgs as possible and have a smooth quite ride. It rubs the mudflaps pretty bad. I gotta trim
