toytec lifts

[bstevo2]

I am looking to raise/level my V6 2004 4runner.
I've been lurking around the forums for awhile now and just can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for.

Below is the kit I'm currently looking at. My question now is with just installing the kit and not replacing my front/shocks with extended length ones will I run into any problems? I'm looking to eventually replace them after a bit more research and money. I'm planning to go on a trip after installing this kit and replacing the tires (I'm looking at some 265-70-17 General Grabbers AT2's found some for a good price).

Also is the front diff drop kit needed or recommended?

So if it's better to suck it up and buy extended struts/shocks, which ones? Please I'm looking at price, so Bilstein is probably out of the question.

Finally will I need anything else?

Included in kit:
(2) front lift coil springs
(2) Toytec top plate spacers for full 3" front lift with coil springs
(6) top plate studs
(2) 2" Lift rear "Medium load" coil springs
(OME 895)

Diff drops are not required on thr 4th Gen 4Runners. Since you are replacing the springs anyway, I woul dljust go with the OME set up front and rear. Springs and shocks. A 3 inch lift will be too much for the stock shocks. The OME set up is a full kit withthe springs matched to the shocks. I can atest to the fact the suspension works great.


That's my suggestion...and I'm sticking to it. :biggrin2:

Where's the best place to get the OME setup for price? How much more difficult is it to install? Also how much height increase did you get in the front and back? Thanks, Steve

You'll get aproxmetly 3" of life with OME. Check out this lift height thread and then call Ben at Slee Offroad. He will help you decide the correct set up for your needs.
