Need suggestions

[fachseh]

Hey guys,

Fairly new owner of a T4R, (bought a brand new '07 in may).

Well, it's been a whiel since I've done any 4 wheeling, and I'd like to get my runner ready.

I'm just looking to do some light to moderate 4 wheeling, nothing too crazy.

With that in mind, I was thinking of doing a 3/2" lift, and upgrading my tires.

I currently have 265/65SR17 Micheline Cross Terrains (came with the vehicle). I noticed that many members liek the Revo tire.

On to the point, any recomended Lifts? Tires ? Bull/brush gaurds?

Thanks!

The 3/2 spacer is good.
Daystar probably makes the lowest price one but good quality.
Allows you to fit 33" tires removing the mud flaps and maybe some other minor mods.

Another choice is the Daystar Comfort 2.5 lift. What I run.
Can fit 32 inch tires. 265/70/17

Everyone will say dont get a brush guard, they really dont do anything in protecting your front end. But if you dont need a full on bumper like arb then its a good choice. Check ebay for some cheap push/bull bars.

Tire wise - the revos have a good rep. Other popular choices are the Nitto TerraGrappler (what i run) and the BF goodrich A/T

Did some more reading on here. Seems, the 3/2" cornfed lift is pretty popular.

Question, about how easy is it to install these lifts yourself?

Any special tools required?

I'd hate to pay someone else hundred of dollars to do something I could in accomplish in a few beers, err hours.

The revos are nice but if i were to do it all over again i would have got the nitto grapplers

A lot of people on this forum do run the corn fed so i would guess its a good choice. I went with toytech (toyteclifts.com) and am very happy with my decision.

As far as install goes itll take you all day. Youll have to have a mcpherson strut coil spring compressor but any of your local auto parts stores (oriellys, autozone, advanced) should rent this to you for free with a deposit that is returned when you bring back the tool. I did mine myself and the hardest part was getting the shock tower back in place. A little tip: the bottle jack that comes with your truck is extremely helpful when trying to push down lower control arms or rear axles, it became my new best friend. Another thing that helps is an impact wrench (i borrowed an electric one from a buddy) and metric sized bits of course.

If you decide to do it yourself I think you will be happier with it. Just don't force anything and you'll be ok.

Also I don't know about cornfed but toytech has a front differential drop kit to ease the angles on your cv axles that you can get from them for 30 bucks plus shipping.

As far as tires go I have owned revos on different vehicles and I have the very highest opinion of them.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. not sure what route I'm gonne go yet, but the Wife asked what I wanted for Christmas, and I said a Lift kit, so we'll see what happenes

if you don't have a xreas system and want to lift, i always recommend the OME setup.

it's better than the spacer configuration and way cheaper than a coilover setup. a good well rounded configuration that is proven to do well on and off the trail.
