Looks good! This makes your stock pictures look like you were driving a lowered 4Runner! I've got the same springs and shocks waiting for me to make the time to install them and I'm thinking about the wheel spacers as well.
Did you find you needed the front sway bar relocate blocks for this lift?

That's a funny picture.
Stance looks great now! Good job both of you for getting that done despite the struggles with the shock bolts.
NCAR - did you adjust the Bilstein's in front, or obtain the lift from those springs alone?
I also lived in NC for awhile - 2 years in Winston-Salem, back in Little Rock now.

Not sure if I needed them or not, ASR mentioned that I might so I ordered them and we just went ahead and put them on. Looking at it afterwards I looked like it was a good decision. For 23 bucks it was a good idea vs getting into the install and needing them and not having them.

NC is a great place to live, not many towns/cities that aren't unique! I am from Asheville, so I've seen my fair share of weird. :hippie:
We left the Bilstein's on the "0" setting and immediately after the lift I had 4 inches of lift in the front (worried me for a sec, bc I was saggy in the rear). It seems the springs are doing most of the work as of now. After the drive home and a days worth of driving the next day I am at about 3.5 inches of lift now and possibly in the running loose a tad bit more which will be ok with me. The general consensus here on the forum with the OME 884's 5100's at "0" and the V6 seems to be about 3 inches in the front.

PT school doesn't allow me to get into my outdoor hobbies much. That only happens around term breaks. It may be a little while before I/ya'll will get to see my T4R in the wild. Thus, to rescue my thread from the impressive streak of pavement pics, I went through my neighborhood after class and found........a man hole....
Grabbed a few sunset pictures.

Got out on a friends farm to crawl around on a little dirt.
*Also, ripped half of my driver front mudflap off today turning out of campus because I have procrastinated trimming to get rid of the rub with turning. Needless to say I trimmed them up a little and moved the inner front wheel well plastic forward a tad. Problem solved.

A little update on the runner, I have been searching for a day to fix the CV boot leak on both the right and left sides. I havnt been able to quite yet due to the fact I am smack dab in the middle of final's. I did however clean up the mess and make sure the boots did not have a hole in them. No holes noted, so I will be replacing the small rings on the inner boots with marine bands and making the fix while referencing this thread from the 120 forum.
In other news I have ordered 4 of the Method Racing NV wheels (black with machined face), along with new black chrome spline lugs.
I have gone with the zero offset. So I will be ditching the Spidertrax.

Very nice! Between the lift and wheels/tires, looks (and performs) so much better than stock!!!

Made the drive to NC very well. Happy with the performance/ride quality, the fiancé even said it was nice. She normally drives the first 6 hours and I the second. So, pretty stoked! :eyebrows:
One question ASR, I still have a little "creek" in the front springs with curbs and what not. You think this will eventually go away/settle? It has been approx a month since the install, just curious.

Awesome! There shouldn't be any new noises, I doubt it'll just go away. If you ever get over this way again we can take a look and see if we can find the cause.
