I got a lot of sqeeks coming from the front end coil assy is this just the coils settling in or was i meant to grease something somewhere? It didn't look like it my trucks sounds like an old pick up cruising down the road! What can i do to fix this or is it just a waiting game?

Yeah mines pretty bad man happens on the smallest bumps and is loud like some f150, i can make it happen on both sides just by pushing on the fender. I've read about everything from sway bar spacers to just some silicon spray, i'm going to try the spray thing tomorrow i just got my duratracs put on today and going back for the first alginment since lift and tires went on. I'm hoping between the spray and alginment it goes away, i want my truck perfect never owned such a nice machine it's all been jeeps and old broncos, i want to keep it as clean as possible on all fronts lol heck i spent $35 on a stupid light switch for my fogs just to keep it looking factory. Lol but don't mind me i'm an idiot lol i was pissed when i got some rims for free from discount tire today cause the tires wouldn't clear on the stockers, free rims and i was mad i couldn't have my 5 stars, lol i am a fool, lol.
 
well they actually cost me $62 for all four with gorilla locking lugs, i walked in with $1200 the tires where $1138 otd, so just wanting to make the sale they cut me a deal, they are a little "flash" for my taste but i think they may grow on me a bit. anyways for that sort of money i can get some other rims and sale those for a bit of a profit

ya i think they dont look quite right with the color of the 4runner but i think they are pretty nice rims overall and for $62, cant complain! But ya dude u should just buy some wheel spacers and get those stockers back on if u really want them and u can sell the rims...

yeah completely agree, too bad the shop didn't sell spacers and this really ended up being the cheaper option until i can order up a decent set of spacers and fix a few other things i need to throw money at lol.
 
i think u should trade me ur new rims for a set of my wheel spacers! haha *wink wink* but ya dude they arent too pricey for just a set, u dont really need them for the rear but u can get them.
 
Haha..don't be duped into trading those nice wheels with xskydivingdudex...jk! he wants them coz they're really nice...even I want them. and besides where else can you get rims for that price? those Duratracs are sweet, they're the MT's of AT's, my brother's getting those same rubber. By the way I wouldn't worry much about the squeeks, mine does that too but it's more like gas hiss sound from what I can tell.
 
Ouch blcktpgsr... haha im indifferent about them bc i think they would look much better on a darker colored 4runner but i think its just my personal preference bc i think silverish and black rims look best on the color i and Izzard have. Chrome looks kinda weird in the mix.

Yeah I guess it just a personal preference thingy..like what they say..to each his own......... and you do know I was only jokin', right?
 
Yeah he was going to throw some all chrome wagon wheels in for free but i asked what about for a little extra and you hooked it up with those, yeah i don't really know how i feel about them, hopefully i'll scratch them up a bit and they wont be so bling you know i'm they type of guy that takes the stickers and tags off of my clothing when i wear it, lol i'm worried about the spacers no balancing right not that you balance spacers but you guys know what i'm saying.

And as for the front end squeeking it's seriously like a old pick up or leaf sprung trailer, i'm going to locate it on monday when i got a dry place to crawl under it a see what the deal is
 
lol ya i know u were... i dont take anything too personal on here bc if u take life too seriously, u might die! haha but ya i agree to each his own but i was just saying if he didnt like them then he could buy some spacers and sell those and have a little extra money to play with.
 
ya izzard i know wat u mean but its actually not that bad... i have wheel spacers and my ride is fairly smooth, the only thing that isnt causing it to be perfect is the fact that i took my 4runner when i first got it lifted to an 18 wheeler mech shop to get my alignment and well the toe is slightly inward on one side.
