Photos of Limited 4Rs with 1" or 1.5" Body Lifts?

[hulk311]

I've decided to get either a 1" or 1.5" body lift on my truck but I am concerned about how my Limited fenders will look after the install. I'm mainly concerned if there will be a noticeable gap in between. I've searched body lifts on here but did not see any clear photos of what I was looking for.

For those of you with these body lifts can you please post a photo of the front or rear fenders. Or from speaking from experience, how noticeable is the gap. What size BL would you recommend on a Limited?


Also, I've read people on here that they install the BL by jacking up one end of the truck at a time, wouldn't it be safer and easier to install the BL by putting it on a lift so that the truck stayed level the whole time?

Are you talking about the gap between the tire and the fender? Becuase the only gap you should have will be dealing with the front bumper. you can check out my post here if you haven't already ---->http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/63201-bodylift-done-normal.html#post530381 I dont think the limited would be any different. (Any one feel free to correct me if i am wrong here)

I think there is a reason you want to only take the bolts out of one side at a time and just fully loosen the other side. I think that if you took all the bolts out and lifted the entire body, there is a potential for something to shift and the body and frame to become misaligned. Then you will be in the shit trying to line up the holes again. I could be wrong but I can't see any benefit to lifting the whole thing at once.

As far as safty, your only going to lift one side almost 2" max to get the spacers in, and since you are supposed to leave the other side's bolts in, just loosened, its not like the body is going to fall off and crush you. It would be just as dangerous to jack it up to change a tire I would think, except the tires never leave the ground.
