What are you planning on doing with the two different sizes? One for the Taco?

BTW, the 4runner is looking great and I'm very jealous of the 5 speed.

I'm not sure, the Tacoma already has 265/75's on it but I figured i'd keep the other set handy just in case.

I appreciate the compliments. I can't wait until my shocks come in and I can drive it!! And you should swap yours!!

I wish I could, but I'm not sure I can with the multimode tcase. I don't want to give up the AWD capabilities. If it can be done I'd love to do it, but I doubt it could.
 
Drove her for the first time in months yesterday! Awesome! The manual feels like it has freed up so much power!

Thanks to the lift the alignment has made it nearly undriveable! Time for an alignment!

Here's a teaser pic.

 
measurements

your lift looks awesome. i have the same 4runner, with the LC 8 coils in the rear. i want to do the same exact lift, but am wondering how much the tundra coils will lift the front. do you know how many inches you are from hub to fender on front and back?

I want to do a 5-speed with multimodal also, I need someone to do it first. Be the guinea pig for us!!! Yes?! Ok, great!!!
[MENTION=51788]Swimmerboy2112[/MENTION], your 4R is looking really great. Glad you got the trans figured out. Keep it up bud.

I have the Toytec coils up front but the measurements are as follows;

This is with 285/75/R16's installed.

Front = 24.50"
Rear =24.75"

Toytec for tundra? Or 4runner? With adjustable 5100s? For tundra or 4runner? Sorry for so many questions. I have been reading and reading but haven't seen anyone's lift balance out the lc rears like yours. It's exactly what I've been trying to find. What setting did you set your shocks on?

Maybe it would be easier if I told you what I lifted it with.

The front is lifted with Toytec coils on Tundra Bilstein 5100's set on the 3rd notch from the bottom.

The rear is lifted with 8.25 wrap LC coils and Tundra Bilstein 5100's.

I also have a diff drop installed and I custom made an adjustable panhard bar.

No need to apologize man I like helping and appreciate the kind words!

awesome! that's exactly what i needed to know. toytec adjustable coils for 4runners with the tundra adjustable 5100 bilsteins.

i had been looking at getting the tundra coils (y/y, y/b) and pairing them with the adjustable bilsteins for the tundras, but just wasn't sure if i would get enough lift.

yours looks exactly right. does the lift come from the adjustable coils, or from the adjustable bilsteins?

still a newb on suspension. :)

The coils aren't adjustable, I have these.

Toytec/Eibach front coil lift springs

Man - those are some high numbers. So you are on the third perch from the bottom, the middle one? I think I am at 22" or so on the lowest perch. I have not read many reports of folks using the higher perches with Eibachs.
 
The awesome just keeps coming from you, I still remember drooling over your 1st gen all those years ago. Glad the swap was a success.

Also, those wheels look great with your color!

I bought the fronts used (500 mi on them) and already assembled so I took a chance on hoping they were set for the right height. And now that I look at them more, I think they're on Tacoma 5100's since there are only 3 settings that I can see. I'll look again tomorrow.

I can't put the front coils down otherwise it would look really goofy.

Thanks for the kind words man! I'm still kicking myself for selling it, oh well.

I often find myself drooling over your 3rd gen, it's awesome!

I think these wheels look great on there!
 
Hey bro just some advice you should definitely lower that front end. The max amount of front suspension lift for our rigs is 3 inches, and you at 24.5 in front is way too high. That's around 4.5 inches lift in front and I'm guessing your ride is brutal right now. You'll be blowing through cv's like crazy and also putting way too much stress on other front end suspension components. Those eibachs are meant to be run on the bottom setting, but if you have the tundra 5100s w/ 5 settings I have heard of people running them on the second setting from the bottom. If you're worried about it looking funny I would get some different rear coils with less lift and lower the front. You will be glad you did because your alignment numbers will be much better, your cv's will be much happier, and you'll have a much better ride.
