Looks good, love the stance. I would really like to see some pictures and details about the skid plates. Also, I just noticed you have the Maxxis Bighorns. I have always admired these tires. Would love to hear you initial thoughts and eventual long term review of them.

Yes...inside and out. How it mounts, how the liner attaches, etc...

Looks good.......but, 2 inch lift??:shrug:
According to your before and after measurement pic,you got a 3.75" lift in the front and a 2 1/2" lift in the rear.What part number OME springs did you get?
What kind of alignment specs did they come up with for that much front lift. Unless the South American 4Runners are different then ours,I highly doubt they could get the Caster setting within minimum spec and still have good camber readings so you should look into aftermarket UCA's to correct it and give a better,more stable ride.
Also ,anything over 3" in the front and your CV angles are going to be extreme and I would invest in a diff drop to keep from breaking them.
Love that front bumper and that guy is quite the metal-smith!!:nod:

Ill try to post them tomorrow!!
The Maxxis are great, they behaved amazing with 10 lbs of presure on the dunes last week, I have a friend that has had them for over 35,000 miles and they are still good for off roading (not mud). The only con I can find is that they buzz a little when you go over 35-40.

I understand that thats the first reading of the lift, I will measure them again in a week because the springs should "settle down" in that time. I already purchased the Total Chaos UCAs. Im going to Miami in May to pick them up.
Ill try to find the part numbers tomorrow, I still have the boxes in my workshop.
The South Americna T4R is almost the same as the american one, small differences like rims and seat heaters...
Check my post on the bumpers... http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-g...dmade-frontal-rear-bumpers-3-skid-plates.html

Settle 1.75 more inches?! That's close to like 40% of the lift, lol
[MENTION=108414]flarosac[/MENTION], out of curiosity, where did you take the measurements from? I can't tell in the picture but are those fender to ground measurements? Looks good though!
[MENTION=45399]thebwlife[/MENTION], don't quote me on this but I could've sworn I've seen the later generation GX's with a very very similar (if not the same) 18" wheel. Maybe you could search for it that way?

I took the measurements from the bottom of the rims to the fender, this way I will always be able to compare how the suspension is holding up not minding about the tire usage or air pressure...

yea.. that is a lot.. hmmmmmm
lane:What component part numbers are those? These are the OME parts I want to use for my lift. Did I leave anything out? Recommend adding an UCA? Could I do without an UCA? I still need to verify if I need a trim packer or 10mm spacer to level the front driver side. Is the Front Diff drop kit necessary?
(2) OME 884 front coils
(2) OME 889 rear coils
(2) OME 90010 front shocks
(2) OME 60080 rear shocks
(1) OME trim packer for driver front suspension, OME95PF5
(1) front differential drop kit

That bumper wow!
WOW that front bumper might be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, save a little bit of gap between the headlights, but painted to match factory even including those matching wheel arches on the side, just wow I need that in my life..great job to the fabricator top notch work!
