What lift are you running? & Why?

I went with the OME lift (see sig. for details.) Basically I chose this lift because I wanted something better than a spacer lift but didn't have the 2k to pony up for a SS lift or coilovers. Spacers work great for some people, but IMO they aren't for someone who actually wants to wheel and I do in fact want to wheel. I would kill for a nicer set-up like some coilovers and LC coils in the rear, but after wheeling a few times in Ohio I've come to the determination that for what I am comfortable doing (I have minimum protection and still owe on my 4Runner so I take it somewhat easy) any more of a set-up than what I am running would prob be overkill and wouldn't help me all that much. I'd like to get the OME shocks to enhance the performance of my current lift but in flat Ohio, you need ground clearance and good tires more than a flexy suspension.

hey trd_4runnin,

are you running this kit? > http://www.toyteclifts.com/index.ph...ategory_id=71&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=72


or can someone confirm what he's running?

cause i'm also looking for a lift. i thought it through, and for the trails over here, coilovers just wouldnt be practical (plus, rocking crawling isn't like other places..all lava rocks. haha). i'm also on budget, so the link posted above and a diff drop kit looks like a debatable option comparing to the spacer kit. i'm also planning on lifting on stock shocks for now, since it still feels healthy, and i dont flex them to the max


any thoughts?

I believe thats what he's got. But I went with this cause you should get the shocks done at the same time. 882/891

with the coil only lift, (http://www.toyteclifts.com/index.ph...ategory_id=71&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=72),

Yes you can, as long as you don't require a heavier spring up front to compensate for additional weight up front, ie a bumper/winch.

thanks for clearing it up :bigok:

I went with toytech ultimate kit, front coilovers and rear 890's. I chose this set based on other forum members. I am very happy on the outcome runner runs smoother over bumps, railroadtracks ect..... Although I have yet to take it out off-road I am sure it would perform well.

 

[Mr. B]

nice choice!
that kit looks really well made!

just too much for my budget
