Need Lift Help.

[ldzppln321]

Hey guys I am looking into lifting my 2006 Sport Edition 4runner, i am wondering what the best possible way to do this is. I am wanting to lift my truck for larger wheels to go mudding/trailing. Is going with spacers going to work out for me, and if so what spacers should I get. And if spacers arent the way to go should i go with an OME lift or what? I am also searching around the forums for ideas, so any input will help.



Thanks in Advance

Since you plan on actually going off road I definitly reccommend the OME Kit ..If you are adding a new front bumper Go with the Heavy springs if you are staying stock go with the mediums. The Springs and shocks with the OME kit Will Improve your off road experience Immensly.Remember in 06 toyota lowered the body on the frame 1 inch ...I have an 05 with OMe and its really the best bang for the buck.

Me too! (as in I agree )

well about what would a OME lift cost? i mean i was thinking no more than 600? Is that about right for the ome and could someone post me a link to the full ome kit please? thanks sorry for all the questions.

Thanks!

Someone should mention that if you go with OME then you will be stripping the XREAS from your Sport Edition. Oh wait, I just did.

yah i knew about that already. How much rougher is the ride?

XREAS really won't do much for smoothness of ride. It mainly fights body roll during cornering. I think that most would say that the upgrade to the OMEs will give you a ride that is just as nice. It is just something to be aware of though since XREAS is one of the hallmarks of the SE.

Thanks for all the help AmbideXtrous. I have been looking around and found that the OME kit is about 850? And do most offroading stores cary the ome kits or is it something i would order and have them install? I really dont plan on doing the installation myself.

Is there any way to lift/add ARB without removing the Xreas?

I would say that most would have to order them. Perhaps not. I'd price it both ways. See how cheap you can find them and then make some calls to local 4x4 shops.

I'm not sure what you're asking. ARB what?

 

[Vizwar]

eh sorry.. ARB bumpers. If I have to replace anything to support the added weight would that effect the Xreas?

as the others have stated, OME is a great package and can be obtained for around $800.

the added weight of a winch bumper will really tax the stock suspension. especially if you have the V8. OME has several different springs to accommodate your particular setup. many owners claim the ride quality of OME is better than stock and corners well. Slee, wheelers and trd parts4u are a few good sources for ARB/OME offroad equipment.

do some research, read feedback threads on different 4Runner setups and make your decision.

aS YOU CAN SEE IN MY PREVIOUS post .. I have the OME Kit with Heavy springs ..The added weight of Winch and bumper required the heavy springs ...And YEs The ride Quality is Superior over stock in off road Conditions..The rear is a Tiny bit stiff but has already settled , I got the OME Kit For 700$ Then I paid 350 $ for the install Plus an additional 85 for Alignment.
But it is Really the best bang for the buck .
