Makeover almost complete

[Moroney167]

Well long story short. Loving the new 4Runner since I sold my 1997 3rd gen. Got 1300 miles on her and finally got to doing suspension today. Wheels installed. Tomorrow is alignment. Now just waiting to get windows tinted, lamin X for fog lights and black my front and rear bumper valances.

Bilstein 5100's 1.75" front (3rd clip from bottom)
Pair of OME 10mm spacers top of rear stock coils (20mm each)
BFGoodrich AT KO2 275/65-17 E load tires
FN F(x) Wheels matte black
Removed factory side steps

First off I'm beyond happy how the truck drives and handles now. Along with obvious looks. Sits perfect to me.

Last, a HUGE thank you to Dustin at FN wheels. Hands on easy to deal with professional guy with no run around. Wheels are quality and came with lug nuts locking tool and center caps. Excellent pricing, and even my very reputable tire shop who I do a lot of wheels with over the years said they were damn nice quality over how many aftermarket wheels they deal with daily. Were actually round and balanced awesome even with the heavy BF's. Now enough of this. Pics.

Stock next to our Tacoma (5100's .85 front stock rear TRD wheels 265's)

Finished

Mind sharing your wheel/tire sizes?
I'm about to take possession of my new 2015 Trail edition and I'm going to want similar wheels and tires

That amount of lift and tire size is pretty much exactly what I'm thinking on our Trail--nice pics!

Looking great. I need to put my lift on so bad.

Few new pics

Finally got out to exploring. Was down in Maryland for vacation. Decided to go down to Virginia to explore the beaches and had a great time. Also got to play with the terrain control which was cool. Surprised I liked it on more than off being more towards doing what I need myself. But with it on the "Heavy" terrain setting it was nice didn't let wheels spin or nothing just got to work even in real heavy sand. Aired down to 15 with the 275's. Spend full day roaming around.

Little update. Didn't like the soft broken in stock coils after 10k miles. Got OME 884 coils for front with 5100's set on stock lowest setting. With SWAY-A-WAY 1.5" rear coils. First day of driving holy crap I like it. Just a little more planted and handles tighter. Former but not much noticeable from stock just less floaty feel. Wife didn't even say she could feel a difference if that's is a unit of measurement or not. And she's pretty sly on all the changes without me telling.

Rear is measured about 1" more than I had it with spacers. And sits just 1.25" taller than front. Front was stock at 1.75" setting on 5100's. Was true to lift. As springs settled I was down .25-.5" from when first done. 884 coils brought back up to approx 2.25 over stock measurement. Lifted me about .5+" more than the stock coils on 5100 1.75

If any that makes sense.
