What do you guys think? Any suggestions? I think I am gonna add some sort of roof rack next. Eventually maybe a little lift, as well as Billsteins.
 
I am thinking of getting those perf products springs. Are you pleased with your setup? Were there any alignment issues with camber or anything?

I was a sport compact owner before I bought my 4runner, therefore, I know a lot more about lowering than lifting!
 
i like my setup, yeah... i want to go higher in the near future (probably in the next 6 months or so), so im gonna add some spacers in.

no alignment issues of any kind :)

Lee, dumb question. Can you add spacers to the PP springs? I have spacers but was thinking that high performance springs would handle better for on-road performance than stockers. Maybe I can keep my spacers and still upgrade to PP springs. I can get height and better handling...

The problems with spacers on any springs is that they preload the spring and stiffen the ride.

there was a lot of talk on yt about this recently.. how adding spacers to progressive springs would make it undriveably stiff and would just result in you switching the springs out.

however, a yt member said hes been running a daystar spacer kit on his pp springs with no resulting stiffness...

apparently the daystar is particularly good for this application.. and it comes in i believe 3" and 2.5" form....

so, ebelen, im not sure on your spacers, but i know that at the very least daystar spacers do work with pp springs. my assumption is that the ride may stiffen, but not as bad as a lot of people would think. most of the naysayers have no experience with either pp springs or pp springs and spacers.

ill letcha know how i like the ride when i get around to ordering and installing a daystar spacer kit.

Lee, were you going w/ the 2.5" or the 3"? If the 3", I have a similar lift kit (Revtek). I'd love to know b/c the stock springs are "floaty." I like the more stiff suspension anyway.
 
thats my thought too.

im thinking ill do the full 3", giving me basically a total lift of about 4".

i cant do that yet because id need to do the panhard, brake lines, diff drop and maybe steering extension(?) as well...

so i need to wait till i save up.

at the moment im working on sliders... i JUST got the money together for them, so they should be purchased by friday :)

Cool. Let me know how it works for you when you do it. I'll wait for others to try it first. I was thinking of maybe just doing a BL instead. As gay as it sounds, I only want more height for appearance purposes, not all the off-roading you do.
