Here's my 2014 Trail - 275/70/17 Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx - 17in ATX Ledges (0mm offset) - Toytec Boss set @ 2.25 Front/2 Rear (I wanted to retain some of the factory rake) - and some anthracite grey plasti-dip on the emblems and bumpers. Tint on front 35%
Budbuilt bumpout sliders are on the way as well as some other parts/protection.
I got the alignment done at High Tech in Chantilly, VA. Those guys took care of me and I worked with [MENTION=99235]Scott@Hightech[/MENTION] who was nice enough to walk me back into the shop and give some pointers for minor corrections after I installed the Boss kit 2 days ago. I'll be sure to see Scott at High Tech if I have any issues in the future, they were great as noted on this forum.

Truck looks great - making me lean towards buying another this color. And High-tech does awesome work.
ya I had the same GROUPON
Went yesterday (a gift from my GF). My "coach" was really really permissive! He even encouraged me to go faster! So cool to floor it on a track!

Hey TE!,
I just put the OME 2.5" lift on my 2012 Trail edition 4Runner. I also have the ARB Bull bar and Warn 10k winch. It all weighs so much that I've gotta go with the heavy duty springs in front and medium in the back to level it out. Now I'm gonna get new wheels & tires. I like how your truck looks. Which of the Level 8 MK6 wheels did you get? The 8" or 9" and which backspace and finish?
Thanks!
Dan

Dan,
My wheels are the 17x8 -10 in gunmetal. They did rub a little in reverse at full lock before I did the body mount chop.
I have the heavy springs in the front and mediums in the rear. The 4x4 labs bumper is not as heavy as the ARB and I still do have a considerable amount of rake. I do have the trim spacers on the drivers side to help out with the drivers side lean as well.

Finally!
Been waiting sooooo long to contribute to this thread :-D. Details are my signature.
Before (100% Factory 2012 Limited):
After:
The Superflex HD springs are supposed to give 2.5". We're guessing they'll settle somewhere between .5" and .75" to end up just over 3" total in the rear. When that happens, I'll raise the front to restore the factory amount of rake.
And yes, before anyone mentions it, I need to finish getting rid of the chrome ;-)

Those SuperFlex HDs give 2.5 with 400 pounds of additional weight. So i would expect 3.5 out of them if you are running empty, since the HD has a spring rate of 204 lb/in.
Great excuse to get a rear bumper

Ok team, need some advice. I've been piecing together my lift for a few months now and finally put it on this weekend. I was the Lone Ranger on this one so it took me pretty much all day. Here's the setup: Toytec Superflex springs with Bilstein 5100s fin the rear and eibach/toytec springs with 5100s in the front. The rims are American Outlaw Bandits 17x9 -10 offset and the tires are 285/70 Falken Rocky Mountain ATS II.
I haven't really had a chance to stand back and look at it until I just got it back from the alignment shop. As you can see, the ass is poppin! At first I though I might have received the wrong rear springs... Maybe I got the "heavy duty" rears instead of the regular super flexes.... But then I notice how low the front lift looked. The tires were also slightly rubbing on the body mount which I thought was a little strange as other guys running these tires haven't had rubbing issues (but every truck is different).
So I just went through my emails and sure enough.... in all of my glorious dumbassery..... I ordered the wrong front springs!!!! :mad2::mad2::mad2:
The toytech/eibach springs look exactly the same, are the same price, and have the same load numbers... But one is a 1.6" lift and the other is a 2.5" lift. Sooooo, what to do now??? I'm almost positive toytec won't do an exchange, I mean why should they right? I haven't called them yet because they're closed for the day but they'll be my first call in the morning. The other option is to lift the truck more using the 5100s. However, I'm hesitant to do so because Spring was a biyatch getting on the shock as it was. Plus I really want to do it right.
In hindsight, I should have just bought the preassembled toytec 3" lift... FML. So, should I bite the bullet and get the right springs (possibly with spacers to get the full 3" in the front) or should I just change the setting on the 5100s?

There are a few dudes in this lifted thread that have superflex springs in the rear and those toytec springs with the 5100 at the .85 setting up front and it looks good. You could try that and it won't cost you anything.
