Greetings fellow 4R enthusiasts
I was fortunate enough to pick up a 2004 4R SR5 V8 4WD with 112k miles for $8500 a few months back, in great shape. I’ve done some minor stuff to it myself, but am now at the point where I finally want to get a Shrockworks front bumper (no winch for now), new wheels/tires, and a suspension lift.
I am a novice when it comes to trucks; this is really my first dive into doing something like this. I want to get into off-roading more aggressively and def want the thing to just look cool in general.
What I was looking for from the 4R Prodigies out there is shopping advice/installation advice:
1. Suspension lift selection - with the net of plus ~110 lbs on the front due to bumper, what do you recommend for a lift kit? I found the below on YotaMafia; seems like it makes sense for the front heavy setup but I am all ears for suggestions. Going for 2 - 2.5” ideally; just suspension lift, no body
4th Gen 4Runner Dobinsons Lift Kit (2003-2009) - YotaMafia
2. Any recommendations on order of installations?
Ie, lift/tires first then bumper, vice versa, or all them shits at once. I’m having a custom shop by me handle all this
Any other advice generally speaking is welcome. Thanks in advance!
