Lift kit observations

[4route]

Re: Lift Kit help

I'm in the Fort Worth, TX area and have the 2"cornfed spacer kit.
Still looking to find a good mechanic to install it.
Can anyone refer me to someone who knows how to install this kit in my area? My 04 4runner has the XREAS on it.

Jason Burtman referred me to a Nissan dealer but I would prefer
a good Toyota mechanic or a Toyota dealer to install it.

I'm not really a do-it yourself mechanic. Plus the install turns out to be a lot more dificult than the instructions indicate.

Thanks.

If I still had a garage, I'd do the install for you. Unfortunately, I moved to an apartment that has no garage space whatsoever, so my wrenching is a bit hindered.

That said, talk to the guys over at TTR ... try to get in touch with Chris King, he is the club president and also works with Phil at Toyota of Dallas .... they love wheeling and wrenching, so there's a good chance they'd be able to help you out:

Or, just call Toyota of Dallas directly and ask to speak with Chris King or Phil in the parts department:

Do you think the 1" in front would look nose high if I just left the back alone ???

No. : )

jason, do you have any pics of a 4runner with just a 1" front spacer lift? how much are the 1" front spacer lifts anyway? thanks

1" wouldn't be enough, you'd need at least 1.5. Shoot me an email and I can go into more detail.

I have 265/70/17 Firestone M/T now at stock height and I havent experienced any issues with rubbing personally. They come out to be about 32s so that works for me maybe down the road i will upsize to 285s but i dont want the hassle of having to deal with wheel spacers and trimming as of now. I have a toytec 3/2.25 lift im about to install so ill try to get some pictures and let you know how the tires fit. With the more aggressive tread pattern of the MT i think they will fit the wheel well fine with a 3 inch left but we shall see....

Iron Clad Lou,
Here is a picture of my old 2003 4Runner with a Daystar 1 inch front lift and stock size Revo's. I've since traded that 4Runner in for an 06 SE and may install the same type of lift on it.

Yup...that is exactly what i would do if i got a 4th gen 4runner...just a 1" front lift to even out the 4runner without putting too much stress on the CV's. Getting 32" tires, sliders, and ARB rear locker...that would be it for me.
