Yea ive been on here, and 120 a long time and i have never read about putting a 1.5" just on one side, ive herd of a .5 or a .75 but 1.5 seems a bit ridiculous to me lol, Suspension will settle, give it a good month or so, you might find your RR will sink a bit and may look funny so adding another spacer there may come into play

This is the best way to do it. I've had mine like this for about 6 months and it sits pretty much level.

Thanks buddy, we are both ecstatic. I've been told it's the coolest, scariest thing you'll ever do ha ha.

I like the look of the vehicle with a little rake personally. I know mine is more than a little though

Well, were getting some snow tonight, not much but some. The only resort open is boreal and only on the weekends. Were blowing snow here at northstar, getting ready for the 18th! Should be a great year!

Well I read a lot of posts about adding the 1.5" daystar just to the driver rear and most people get 1" on the drivers side and .5 on the passenger side. It was kinda weird to me why it would raise the passenger side also but it has something to do with the suspension. A member named phodog on toyota120 has a few posts about it. My measurements were done in my garage but honestly I don't know if it's leveled. Also I'm sure my suspension will settle some. I will measure again tomorrow at work. Plus the issues some people are having with my lift would probably come into play if I was off roading but I'm 99% sure it will only see streets and highways unfortunately lol.

I was a little skeptical at first but I ended up doing the same thing with mine too after I installed my lift. I was 1"+ lower on the driver rear after everything settled. Because the rear coils are positioned slightly more inboard, it doesn't lift the DR a full 1.5" and also slightly lifts the PR (I gained roughly 1.15" DR and .20" PR). I have since driven 4,000 miles on the lift and I just measured again yesterday...the rear is perfectly level side to side.

Very nice lift! Looks bad ass. Maybe I'll get there some day . I really like the red color too. I have white, but would have gone red if it had come along. Best regards, Doug.

Sweet looking truck! At some point I may take off my spacer lift and go with Bilsteins.

I haven't trimmed yet but it shouldn't be too bad (I hope) These tires are almost 33's I think they are 32.7". You probably won't need any trimming with the size you're going.

I had to trim. I just did JA's fender mod. I do have slight touching on the driver side front mud flap turning to the left. I will take a heat gun to that specific area to try to remold it.

Update*

Now that Ive got an alignment the vehicle feels much better handling wise. I love this setup!

How do you like them Michelin's? Do they ride good and quiet? Best regards, Doug

Yes smooth and quite like everyone has said. I would highly reccomend if you're 4runner is a highway/city cruiser like mine lol

I replaced the Michelin Cross Terrain with the MS2s. They are very quiet, but now I only hear wind noise. They have a lot of sipes so I'm hoping they will be ok in the snowy/icy conditions. Being more of a Hwy/road tire, they actually look kinda rugged - treads that slightly stick out on the edges or maybe because I also went up one size. 265/65/18

 

[STAYGOLD]

did you stuff that 265/70 in the stock spare tire location?

looks great btw.

Yeah picked up a used tire in that size for $40 and since it was worn it fit right in with a little elbow grease

 

[STAYGOLD]

great, thanks for the reply. im still debating 275/65 or 265/70... thoughts on why you chose the 265's?

Just trying to get the best gas mileage

 

[jaybird93000]
