Superlift for 4Gen 4Runner
- Thread starter Seatown
- Start date
Seatown you'll have to clink on the links in my other post to see the photos of before and after. If you guys are wondering what the tape on my garage floor is I have arear camera that's part of the nav system and when backing in my garage all I have to do is keep the line on floor lined up with a mark I have painted on my bumber on the line on the floor. Keeps me from having to watch the rear view mirrors as they barely clear the garage door. 2"+ is all the clearance I have.

Hoggy, that looks REAL good! Isn't it funny how 3 inches makes all the difference? Good work!!
CJ3Flyr, to tell you the truth I don't know. I ordered the kit over the phone from 4wheel Parts and I litterally just dropped my rig off today without seeing the kit. I'll give them a call tomorrow to see which one it was. I'm guessing it'll probably be the one piece w/o the top out spacer; from what i've read the older 2 piece style needs to be requested and the availabilty may be hit or miss. I'm hoping for the 2 piece, but i'll find out tomorrow.

We'll have to get together soon to compare Seatown. I'm planning on being out of town most of this weekend but maybe next week sometime. My runner rides more like a truck now in that it's a bit stiffer and road feel is a bit more. I notice a little more engine vibration through the steering ( mainly at low engine rpm) but all in all it's much like I expected. I'm happy overall with it and I can still add a bumper and winch later with the springs I went with (885's in front 995's in back). ARB does NOT recommend the 886's anymore as it turns out they're too heavy even for bumper/winch. This according to Central 4 Wheel Drive who did the work. I didn't know this neither did the young man I had order the kit. So when it arrived the manager told me about the change and I decided to stay with the 885's. They recommend 883's for stock ride and 884's for winch or bull only and the 885's for winch and bumper. But the ride is firm not bouncey and I'm used to hot rods with stiff suspension any way. ARB needs to change the info on their website to the right numbers so other don't get the wrong springs and shocks. Any way that's why mine ended up being 3+" instead of 2" like I expected. Being 3" higher rather than the 2" I expected turns out to be a free plus if things don't start wearing out too fast. Just for everyones info. I still recommend Central 4Wheel Drive in Kent, WA. They were willing to do everything needed to make me happy and the overall work quaility was very good.
