Newly Lifted!!

[Toyo_Runner96]

First post, and just lifted today. After many dissapointments and conflicts, I finally got fed up and decided to get my lift proffessionally installed. Had to drive 4 hours to Chicago to a mechanic I knew, but I believe it was well worth it. I'm very satisfied with the height achieved, now all I need to do is install my diff drop. Is that really easy guys?

Well on to the pics:

Here the fronts are getting done

Here he's cutting off the rear shock because it was even impossible using a strap wrench

Here's the finished project at a rest stop:

I took a look at the cv angles, but I don't know what exactly is bad, but it doesn't look that bad I think. The fins are almost touching when the wheel is straight. Plan on getting alignment done on Monday.

Right now I think I'm too exhausted to be excited. 8 hrs of driving in one day is a lot

My hometown was about 4 hours outside of Chicago. It is right in the middle of the State and it is called Mattoon. Just curious if you live South of Chicago like I did or perhaps in another direction?

My hometown had a lot of corn and soybeans, but not much else.:rolleye2:

And yes, the alignment is set for tommorrow

Living in Michigan is a real GOOD reason to own a 4Runner. Especially with winter coming on.
