Nice....can you take a better pic in good light to see your rig with the 275's? Also what type of spacers? Daystar? How high are you now, to top off roof rack? Ty

The spacers are Daystar 2.5/1.5, and fit just fine. They actually came off Brock's SR5 when he upgraded his suspension. My 4runner drives just like stock , real nice with the KDSS and now just sits a little higher.
Hopefully, this picture is a little better. I'm headed to FL for a long weekend tomorrow mid-day (not really sure why since the weather has been phenomenal the past week) but will take some more pictures and measure when I get back mid-week.

thanks....where did you get it done, I see your in Mass or did you do it yourself. If someone else did it, curious on what they charged you, Ive got quoted for about 150.00 plus alignment. Thinking of doing just the rear spacer with 5100 in the front and 275's (dest. at) or cooper at3. Not sure how stiff it will make it, want 5100 in the rear but thought that might be too much on the stiffness factor.

I was toying with doing the Bilsteins instead but I love the way my Runner handles with the stock suspension. Then Brock gave me a great deal on his spacers and I couldn't pass it up.
I did not do the install myself, I used Brian at BDR Automotive in Holliston, Ma. I paid about double what you were quoted for labor, but then again I've known him for a long time, and he does real quality work. He previously was working at a high end Rover aftermaket 4wd drive shop and he owned a lifted 3rd generation 4runner so he is familiar with our vehicle. Since he has set-up his own shop about a year ago I wanted to throw him the business.
He also just installed CBeit's overland warehouse suspension, tires, etc and I hear that came out wonderful as well.
He did tell me that the install did take more time than he thought it would due to the KDSS so if you have that you might be in for an extra hour or two of labor??? He performed my alignment too, so when I picked it up yesterday it was all done. With the spacers, it drives just like stock..with the exception of the E rated tires (LOL). Just sits a little higher, and def looks real good to my eye.

at least it fits in your garage, cbielat! it looks like a really tight squeeze.
what's the minimum height of your garage? and your new max height of the 4Runner?
