Sonoran Steel lift install
- Thread starter AZ4ME
- Start date
op2:This is a very interesting set-up. Coming from OME lifts and Icon/Camburg/Bilstein lifts on past trucks, this is giving me some serious pause before ordering a lift for my new 4runner. :crazy:
Have you had your 4runner heavily loaded yet? I'm wondering how the rear height looks with 400lbs+ of gear loaded up.

I have taken our 2012 Trail to Mexico, Fridge, Food, Gear and 5 people and it did great. The Radflo rear coils are 2" lift over stock and 20% load increase as well.
This same lift is on the white 4th Gen 4Runner Dave @ 4WD Toyota Owner is building in the magazine.
Not as much bling, but lots of zing.

What kind of joints on the Camburg UCA's? And how do you think the Radflo's would tolerate Maryland winters where they salt the crap out of the roads? I read some reviews about the Radflo's having some corrosion issues but most of that info was from several years ago.
I really like the Sonoran kit (especially coils and pan hard), I just need a little push in deciding on the shocks and UCA.

Camburg arms have new ball joints in them. For winters like that I would stick with the TRD/Bilstein setup. It will fair better in the salt.

Your front springs are already stripped and at the powder coater.

Please post some pics when you get it installed
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get this setup once I get the money but the more pics the better.

I'll take some measurements and I'll definitely post a few pics. It should be on the vehicle sometime around the beginning of August.

Could be rebadged Eibachs. Whatever tickles your fancy to call them.

They are probably made at Coil Spring Specialties, Coil Spring Specialties
As the ends are unique to the coil buckets, they are not off the shelf Eibach springs. They had these made for the now out of business Overland Warehouse, since I have been buying a lot of them, they keep having them made, they are very nice coils.
Radflo uses Eibach on the front coil over they make, but WE use Brand New Factory Toyota TRD Tundra coils, they are a Progressive rate coil.
Soft on the road and stiff in the dirt.

[MENTION=1795]sschaefer3[/MENTION] What would you recommend that I set the front height too and also how do I know which setting is which (this will be my first lift install so I apologize for the potentially noob questions)? I just installed a winch and do have plans to get a full set of skids too, just no plans to replace the bumper. I would like to go as high as possible without a reverse rake.

Your having me assemble the units so I will set them to the highest lift. 3 7/8" your winch/skids will bring them down to 3.5" which will be a 1/2" rear higher rake. There is a left and right side specific spring so just bolt them on and your done, no fine tuning with a spanner.
