OME help

[01Run]

I am a 12 time toyota owner, however this is my first 4Runner. I currently have only a 2.5" spacer kit front and rear with 285-75-16. I would like to get more lift to accommodate a wider wheel. Have thought about combining the OME strut kit with 2.5" lift springs with coil spacers. WILL THIS WORK????? It is a 2001 2WD Limited. Also, is the rear end the same as 4WD?

Thanks for any help.

Look above this thread at the lift FAQ. Read it.

First off you don't need more lift to accomodate a wider wheel. You will need wheel spacer or different rims with less backspacing than stock and probably a body lift. What size tires are you trying to get?

I wouldn't use a daystar 2.5" kit along with a OME suspension. I don't think it is even possible. 3-3.5" is pretty much the highest you can go with our 4runners in the front. After that you pushing the limits of the front suspension components (UCA's, ball joints ect.).

Yes the rear suspension of a 2wd is the same as a 4wd.

Thanks for the input. Was curious if it could happen. Gonna eliminate the guess work and go with the Total Chaos uniball and adj. coil overs with a 1" body lift.

My question on the rear end was for the third member, is it the same as a 4wd. I would like to put in a locker.

Pretty sure that all 3rd gen 4runner has 8inch rear differentials...so yes the are the same.
