So I'm getting a 4Runner very soon, and I'm trying to decide on a lift kit. Options are Radflo, King, Fox, and Icon. Anything else I should be considering?

I'm looking for the front to be adjustable up to at the very least 3" and I want a very tiny bit of rake.

From what I've read:

King: Up to 2.5" Front Lift, Rear provides no lift? What are some options to lift the rear besides the Icon 2" Springs?

Icon: Up to 3" front lift, Rear Coils provide 2" of lift? But do they settle? Does running the Icon 2.5 Reservoir rear help prevent the rear coils from settling? If u would have to put a number on it, how much do the coils settle with the 2.0 Icon Rear Shock, and how much does it settle with the 2.5 reservoir shock?

Fox: Up to 2" front lift, rear shock is listed as between 0-1" lift? Is that correct? Do the rear Fox shocks provide any lift? Again what would be some options to raise the rear about 1" if the shocks actually do nothing at all?

Radflo: between Up to 3" lift in front, Rear is up to 2" lift by way of shock? Does this mean the shock is adjustable like the Billstein 5100? Or is the shock just dependent on whatever coil I use? BTW I talked to radflo, and they say they are in the process of developing a spring to use with their rear shocks now that Overland went out of business.


Just trying to figure out my options if I want between a 2-3" lift, not sure if I want a 2 or 3 " lift because I can't figure out if I want around 31.5" tall tires for a 2" lift, or 32.5" lift for a 3" lift.

check out some of the build threads on here, they have some nice setups, you might see something you like.

Yeah but the pictures are taken imidiatlly after the work is done.

Does the rear settle and sag eventuall For some of these rear setups?

My main choices are 2" Rear Spring Coil from Icon or Toytec, or 1.5" Rear Spring coil from Camburg (read bad things about sway aways)

And will a really good 2.5 rear shock prevent the rear spring coils from eventually sagging
 
My rear only settled a small amount. And that is with weight in the rear. I will get more settling when I get my rear bumper.

:lookout:

Oh and a spring will sag regardless of the shock. And shocks in the rear don't lift the truck, that is the springs job.

Shocks do not carry any weight regardless of their size or type therefore will not prevent sagging front or rear

My rear hasn't settled any yet and I carry about 200lbs of gear. My front Icons are adjustable from 0 to 3 1/2"

It will not matter what brand lift you get. Or what shocks you'll get with the lift. The tire size will determine what lift you need. I would not be concerned with any sagging or whatever 1/4" will drop after settling. That is not going to matter. You need to prepare for what tire size you want.

As others have stated...find a truck that "looks" good to you and PM that guy. Do not be concerned with which shocks to go with, yet.

Welcome to the forum. Now go get that truck!
 
Cool thanks everyone.

I think I'm gonna go with a 2.5" raise in front, and a 1.5" raise in back, with tires about 32.5" Tall.

Looking forward to this :)
 
I noticed we have some 335i guys, Here is my current toy.
