Toytec "Boss Performance"

Evening All....

I have my FN FX-Pro wheels (Matte Black) being delivered tomorrow and I have been trying to figure out my path forward.

have a '14 LE Magnetic Grey, stock tires are getting sketchy and i want to get this taken care of and get things a little more elevated!

I had been planning on ordering the King complete kit from Toytec, but continued searching talked of constant (20-30k mile) maintenance and that it might be overkill for the weekend warrior with mild trails and fire roads.

so i started looking at the Toytec Ultimate and Boss kits... and then the "boss Performance kit showed up. I did a bit of searching on here and i just cant come up with anyone using this specific kit.

Anyone have any experience?

I was at RSG and that Boss Performance kit is what they were recommending to me (KDSS, light trails, getting out of town sort of thing). The shock/dampener is made by Radflo, if that helps in your decision.

edit: these are also rebuildable. RSG said they have a guy that can get it done over a weekend for you. Drop the truck off Friday and pick it up Monday afternoon.

I have read through the lift buyers guide, it seems like more of a list of options and less of a guide.... just my $.02.

My main question was on the specific Boss Performance lift. The more i look at it, that lift and then add in the UCAs and I'm within $600 form the King kit price.

just trying to figure out if the King is worth it...... I keep reading that kings are the best, but i hadn't seen anything on this specific lift.

Is that a weekend to install? I was assuming i could this done in a day or so, seems pretty straight forward.

did you go with this lift?

Not sure what your question is. Installing the lift would take a few hours. The weekend is for rebuilding the shocks, reinstalling them, and then alignment - mostly because the guy does it over the weekend.

Again, just passing on the information that I got today.

I'm on the fence about what I want to do. Was leaning towards Fox but RSG said that the Fox is a lot stiffer and that these Toytec would be a bit less $$ and ride better for what I want out of them.

I'm not doing anything until Spring bc it will probably take that long for me to install my new bumper/winch/light set up and I want that on before I do the suspension.

He’s just saying that they are rebuildable (serviceable), and that service process if you ended up needing it would just take a weekend from the shop he mentioned.


Installing the lift should only take a day or two if you do it yourself, and you’ll definitely want an extra set of eyes and hands there helping out.

it's worth that extra money. I have friends who own both icon and kings suspension and love them. Never had the Toytec, so i have nothing to compare to

I got what your saying now, I read that wrong.

Thanks for the input!
 
These arrived today, now I’m itching to get them going!

Bit the bullet the King setup is on the way and should be here mid next week. if so, i should have some help around here and we will get it knocked out. I will get it aligned and get the new rubber installed. I'll post up some pics of the install and before and afters as well.

Which King setup did you get? Looking for a kit for my 17 Pro
 
I have the ToyTec Ultimate kit and i'm happy with it. Same wheels as yours but mine are gloss gunmetal. Tires are 295/70/17

That's exactly why I'm going the Toytec 2.5 route when I upgrade - I'm not desert-running or rock-crawling...

That is a goof looking rig! Thats one of the pics i showed my wife to get her to agree to this. She wanted the Matte Black rims and wants to eventually black out all the chrome trim.

FN guys were great to deal with answered my questions via email and text, called me when the order shipped and sent me pics of other 4runners with varying lifts and tires to let me know what it would look like.

I ordered the lift from Toytec last Friday, shipped out the next day and is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Everything works out like it's supposed to and i should have the lift done tomorrow or Wed morning and then off to the alignment shop and some new shoes!
