lift // tire question

[Res957cue]

i was looking at a toytec 2.5/1.5 complete leveling kit off there website, is that all i need for the kit or do i have to buy new shocks and other stuff also to make it work, i seen other 4runners here that had that kit and shocks off that site, also i am going with nitto terra grapplers for the new tires, what size tires could i put under it? i am going to order the wheel spacers to, i like the look of the tires being set out past the fender. thanks in advance for everyones help.

Some members did baby steps by going w/ a Spacer Lift & many members Did It Right The First Time.

I currently still have my Daystar Spacer Lift...after 2 month, I was ready to upgrade. I haven't upgraded yet, because the wallet won't let me!!

Anywho...I was reading about Daystar Spacer Lift for over a year if not two. I landed a Used Daystar Spacer Lift Kit & was hyped up to install them. If you don't know how to do suspension, you'll easily spend $300 on labor alone. Good thing I have a friend w/ a shop, I was able to help w/ my supervision as a peace of mind. My goodness...all that work just for a slight increase. If I did it all over again...I would go straight to Coilovers.

I have the Daystar Spacer Lift & I was drooling over it for a year till I finally caved in.

It definately looks nice, but it's the same travel as stock, because you're just adding a spacer to extend the stock strut/shock assembly.

I actually help do the install & it's so much work for so little improvement.

I don't regret doing it, because if I didn't do it, I wouldn't have known this information.

If I did it all over again, I'd go with...

• OME

or

• Overland Warehouse Radflo 2.5

*****

I didn't replace my UCA, because I stuck only stepped up to 32" tires, if you were to step up to 33" or higher, then you need them for clearance.

As for alignment...only the Toe Angle for the front are adjustable, and my Caster Angle wasn't out of whacked too much, my vehicle is traveling perfectly straight.

If you need photos or have questions about the Daystar Spacer Lift...please let me know. Actually if you need a Tutorial in installing a lift, let me know.
