Revtek Lift Height??

[Calif-4runner]

I was hoping to get an idea from the experts here. I'm going to look at this 2016 Premium in Oakland.

Sales guy said "It has a Revtek lift" which I assume is spacers up front and shocks or spacers in the rear. From the pictures it almost looks like the front end is higher than the rear. Would you guess 3" lift up front? Seems pretty tall.

Thanks in advance for any insight . . .

I'm guessing 3" in front 2" in back to level it out. Problem is the back is pretty weak and any weight in back just sinks it down, giving the reverse rake look.

I have a Revtek kit in mine, 3”/2” sits nice and level even under load.

I have the same Revtek 3/2 lift in mine, but it's just a bit better than level with no load.
Towing a trailer or even hauling even a minimal amount of gear and it looks like I'm driving uphill.

The Revtek rear shocks while they are taller, giving you the 2" lift, are total mush on mine.
I will end up replacing them with something that can handle the extra few hundred lbs of weight.

Mine is still fairly new, so it could be that they are still breaking in. I’m adding airbags this month to use when I trailer my jet skis to avoid any potential sagging. I have a feeling I’ll be upgrading my lift in the next year or two with an actual suspension lift and UCA’s.

Mine is fairly new as well. (6 months) It looks good to me, rides good to me. I just recently noticed the sag. I'll wait a few months and probably do the same.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Thanks for the reply guys.

If anything I would have the dealership remove the Revtek kit and discount. Spacer lifts bring more problems than benefits. It reminds me of people who cut their coil springs to lower their cars.
