Tilt limit

[Mursenary]

Anyone have knowledge or experience on the general tilt limit of the 4th gen? Mine has a 3" lift, currently with factory backspacing.
Several times now, I've driven AZ backcountry roads where the tilt was severe enough to cause quite the nervous pucker factor.
Thanks, and happy New Year!

I've had the 4Runner with my 3" lift kit and 33" tires at about 28~30° tilted to the left and it didn't seem to care too much (mine does not have Side Curtain Airbags, so I don't know whether or not that option does anything.)

I've had mine do the teeter totter on the tilt, panic mode for sure.

As far as it effecting the side curtain air bags... doesn't effect them, just impact.

Looking the system over a bit in TIS it seems to require two signals from roll sensing sensors that show inertia/velocity concurrent with a roll over and/or a side impact that could possible roll the vehicle. The RSCA (Rollover Side Curtain Airbag) Cancel switch simply disables this particular sub-system of the SRS.

But it doesn't state any specifications for maximum angles or anything.

[MENTION=66389]BlackWorksInc[/MENTION] Thanks for the info, I have the tendency, when I remember, to hit that button when getting a little tipsy. I figure if it does lean over, wish not to have to replace them when she decides to take a nap.

From personal experiences with multiple different vehicles off-road 1st gen 4runner pick-ups and the 4th gen they will actually lean a lot more than you would imagine before they roll most people will call it quits long before the vehicle will come to the tip over point. I've flopped and rolled a few times in other vehicles and I figured out I puckered up well before it went over.

This is a good post I really considered doing research on this so I can make a red zone on my lev-o-gauge
