Hey all, new to the forum here. Not used to this forum style, so I apologize if I use it wrong! The only other one I'm on is twinturbo.net, for my 300ZX TT, and it's laid out completely different than this.
My 4Runner is an '02 SR5 4WD with about 120k miles. Stock at the moment, except for the sound system, tires, and I switched to the 99 style grill. Right now sitting on 31x10.5x15 all-terrains. However, they are bald and I need new tires asap. That's why I'm here! I've been wanting to lift it, and I figure now is the perfect time.
My plans are to lift it 3" with front and rear Old Man Emu coils. On top of that I want to do a 2" body lift. I will also be getting the radiator drop brackets, steering shaft extension, and a front differential drop kit. For tires, I'm planning on running 33x10.5x15 all-terrains on the stock wheels (for now).
My question is, is this doable? Am I missing any supporting parts? Are there any issues with doing this? Obviously gas mileage will decrease, the speedo will be off, and the center of gravity will be higher, but are there any other major issues I should be aware of?
Also, with this lift, and keeping the stock 15" wheels, could I run 35x12.5x15 tires? I don't mind a little rubbing, or hammering down the pinch weld, or not being able to make u-turns, but I do need to make rights, haha.
All info/suggestions are welcome! Thanks, and I look forward to learning more here.
On a side note, anyone in the area go to the Uwharrie 4x4 trails? Got the annual pass last year, it was a blast! (This is why my tires are bald...)
