Whatcha think about me new 4runner?

Your 4runner looks nice. I have a set of rear downey offroad springs that yielded just under 2 inches of lift on my 4runner. If interested I would let them go cheap. say like $60 plus shipping.

Hm...that's sounds intriguing. They netted you ~2" of lift....replacing what? I'm replacing stock '99 coils...so they're already on the tall side. I don't want to use something that is only going to get me 1/2" higher. lol
 
My 4runner is a 98. It actually sat a little higher in the rear than the front with the stock springs. My 4runner didn't have the common sagging problem. The downey springs got me just under 2 inches (like 1 7/8) over the stock springs I took out.
In this pic it is sitting on a sloped driveway but you can see the wheel gap is the same if not more in the rear. I don't have any other stock pics.

So that picture is stock? Wow, those rear stockers are high. Now I wonder if the downey coils would be too MUCH. I guess I could try them and then if they don't work, I could sell them myself.
 
Congrats on the new Runner,I saw it for sale over on yotatech and you got a solid deal on a nice truck.

I'm not sure how much taller you might get from the Downey coils and this is my rearend with newer stock '99 taller coils which sits pretty high and I have over 36" from ground to fender with my 265/75/16 tires.

i am enjoying the daystar spacers, they made the ride a lot better in my opinion. i would recommend, but if you have the money i would get springs.
 
I have the same suspension setup and the 1.5" daystar spacers worked great for me. Mine sits level after brand new OEM coils led to the same sag immediately after install
 
Well, she's mine all mine. :) Flew to Boston on saturday, turned around and drove straight home. 26 hours. :whipping2 But it was fun and good drive. Here are the pictures from the trip!

Getting ready to leave the 'burbs of Boston (6pm local time)

Allentown, PA....visiting my mom's childhood home. It was cool to see where she grew up. She actually lived in a rowhome where I'm standing to take the picture, but her house has been torn down to make room for the St. Lukes hospital parking lot.

gorgeoussss ride! 26 hours to Missouri? driving slow?

Far western side of MO. My house is less than 3 miles from Kansas.

And, we stopped twice to sleep for an hour each time. We weren't quite prepared to do a straight through with direct driver swapping...we were both too tired in the middle of the night. And we spent a good hour in Allentown futzing around. So 3 hours of non-travel.

Plus we wanted to go through NY City for kicks.....it's kind of fascinating to us midwestern hicks. lol. Enough excuses, we definitely didn't set any records with this one. But we got good gas mileage. ;)
