What did you do with your 4runner today?

Spent the weekend in Froostproof,Fl

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Does the dual usb switch charge from both ports or is second port solely audio? I don't have a need for an audio port but I would like to have two usb ports to charge from.

The dual usb (that doesn't say "audio") is purely for charging two separate devices. I didn't hook it up to a DMM, but it claims that both outlets are 2.1 amps, so could charge a phone or tablet.
 
So what kit did you get?

And ditto on what [MENTION=111383]TORCH[/MENTION] said..."How do you like this setup? what are you measuring in the rear now? Thanks "

Thinking on changing my setup also, 2.5-3" medium-heavy spring load.

Medium coils. Figured I'd change them out once I build a rear tire carrier.

I shaved down one of my 1.5" Daystar spacers to 0.75" and placed it on the passenger side.

It helped corrected the lean a bit, but needs some more minor tuning. This isn't my original idea, I think I read someone did this on T4R, but I really liked it and like the extra lift. I tow a popup trailer and use that as a base camp in the Rockies and Moab so this was important to be able to keep ride height decent while towing but also have awesome flex when I have no load on a trail.

Flexed it out for the first time a couple hours ago and I'm definitely sold:

BTW - the ride is almost plush right now. I feel spoiled.

I know I need new shoes and should have some in a few more weeks.
 
[MENTION=96286]rick13[/MENTION]... Looks great, looks like you got plenty of flex with the setup. I started with a 3/2.5 spacer lift and changed the front suspension later. Still have the rear spacered. I cut the passenger 1/4" off and added
2-10mm to the drivers to even the lean. Added coiled shocks in the rear for weight.
They pushed up another .5". My springs have too much sag to them now for support.

Just looking to get into a 3" sping lift or have to add a little spacer with them, and handle some weight also. I've added 200lbs to my back and possible more in the future. That's not counting my 200lbs of gear camping or 7k. rated trailer.

How much lift gain do you think these give?

Edit... You didn't get the front on the top of the rock.

So you are still using the spacers? hmmm. May have to add my spacers back to my icons and just get longer rear shocks. May be the cheaper option but we will see.
Anyways, really like this setup! I wish they had a 3" rear spring that wasn't HD. I may call them and see what they think I just don't want the rear end to be too rough when I don't have any gear back there.

BTW- what did you use to cut the spacer?

Took some measurements again last night (remember there is a 1" BL on there):

Rear - Grnd to Fender - 41.5"
Rear - Ctr Hub to Fender - 27"

The rock? Yeah, and I didn't want to push it since its just a poser rock and I've never wheeled the 4th Gen...so I still need to get a feel for how she rolls.

TORCH - Yeah, that was some fun stuff cutting through the spacer. I used a hack saw, then my recip saw, then decide to score a perfect line around the circumference with my Dremel, then went back with the recip saw. Mostly just melting and peeling. I did try my grinder with a simple cutoff wheel, but that got stupid sloppy. It took a long time, but I'm glad I spent the time trying.

Hope this all helps...not trying to thread hijack.
 
Took a ride up the south fork of the Sacramento River on Monday morning. Got my kenwood DDX 372 in that afternoon. Haven't taken a good picture of that yet though.

 
Got new BFG KO2s today, twice. They mounted 3 load range E and 1 load range C. Figures I only looked at the one load range C before leaving the tire shop. 1 hour later, I had it on the alignment rack and seen the load range E on the other side, ugh.
