[MENTION=103267]Saker[/MENTION] - I love those sliders! I have factory “tube running boards” and every time I get in or out of my 4runner, my pants rub the step... not ideal when the tubes are wet and dirty and I’m wearing my fancy work pants. Your sliders look tighter against the body so I assume this annoying rubbing against the leg issue is gone? Do the sliders stick out far enough to function as a step, though?

Yes, they stick out about 3-4”.
Enough to step on and wipe the top down after washing….
Wife even uses them sometimes to get in/out.

&
EIBACH Rear Shocks, 0-2" Lift

(Spacer offset the 1/2” of height I lost when I moved my rear tire and installed my [MENTION=602811]ctnewman[/MENTION] rear tire carrier.)

What lift did you go with on the front? How do you like the Eibach vs the 6112 on your old 4Runner?

Raised the front 2”.

As far as the overall performance of the coilovers & shocks in a short period of evaluation time driving over the same areas, these coilovers dampen the harshness of highway bumps and depressions extremely well compared to the Tokico OEM equipment that comes on the 4Runner.
Nose dive is reduced tremendously, cornering feels more controlled with less body roll.
So far I am very pleased.

Hard to compare against 6112’s at this time.

Just installed the Eibach pro truck lift w E rated Coopers 285/70/17 on my Son's 1st gen Tundra, quality stuff and the ride is pretty darn good. Got the BF deal, but even at $655, it's not a bad deal.
4Runner is lookin good!
 
Lots of really cool mods Saker! Im just now back to the boards after a couple year hiatus! I may pick your brain a bit here once I get the new rig settled.

Thanks!

Picking my brain is no problem, you can PM me if you feel necessary.
