Metal Tech's
Are those metal tech's with full length dimple die? Could you take a few more pics? Looks great!

Those sliders look like Budbuilt's with the bumpout and full tread plating

Very nice! I've been trying to figure out how to integrate red into my ride.. I like yours!
Very nice, I am going to get the same with full tread but I can't make up my mind about to powder coat or not. Can you post more pictures of the sliders for us? There are limited pics with the full treads online. What is your impression of them at this point? I don't do much hardcore offroading and the main reason I want them are for heavy duty steps and door don't protection. But it's nice to know if I do venture Offroad they are there if I need them.
Thanks!

That isn't my rig. I was just saying they looking like budbuilts. I have shrock on mine. Maybe he will be able to chime in here with some other pictures of them.

Bilstein 5100 kit with stock sized tires...
This is purely a "pay it forward post" so other members who are trying to decide how to lift their 4Runners can check out my before-and-after photo (attached... I hope), much as I have sifted through tons of posts and photos on this forum to compare photos and learn a bit about suspensions before finally going forward with a lift... this forum has been an invaluable source of info!
So for those who are at least for the time being sticking with the stock tire size; here's a 2011 Trail Edition (KDSS) with 265/70/17 Duratracs with a Bilstein 5100 kit... shocks front and back with rear All-Pro Offroad 2" lift springs (front Bilsteins set to 1.75).
The Duratracs went on in June 2011, but the lift was installed yesterday by the Sherwood Park Toyota dealership with the 'after pic' taken same day... it brought the front up almost 2", and the rear is up almost 3", though I'm told the rear springs should settle down to 2", as was the expectation... I've sent an email to All-Pro to see if they might give me an estimate on how long it will take the springs to 'break in'. Once it seems to have settled I'll try to take another comparison photo and edit this post.
Considerations:
A lot of people here aim to level there 4Runners, which looks great! But I wanted to stick with a rake that's relatively close to the original 2" rake, because when my T4R is loaded with the gear and supplies for a family of 4 to go camping/fishing for a few days the back end droops close to level, and I don't want a reverse rake when loaded with cargo. I drove a '95 4Runner for 15 years with stock suspension that had a saggy rear when fully loaded with cargo... I hope to avoid that with this truck.

Damn that looks really good! :cheers:
I'm planning on similar setup with 1.5 inch rear coils. Can't wait to get installed and post pictures, but pretty sure i'll have to wait until the end of the year.

Thanks man... I'm pretty pleased with the look and ride with the new suspension.
When I bought this truck almost 2 years ago, the dealership said their affiliated Pro Truck center would install a lift, but when I went to book it they wouldn't touch the Trail Edition... just as well in hindsight as they only worked with spacer lifts and from what I've learned here I'm glad I ended up with a suspension lift from another dealership that could handle the job.
Cheers
Thanks for the before and after pics. I wish more people would do this. Very helpful seeing the side by side.

I've seen others comment that they wish they would have taken "before photos" and I would have liked to see similar comparison pics too, so it seemed like a good idea... for myself and to share here.
