Finally got to install the lift! By myself was kind of a pain but got it done. And i hate rust and xreas now lol got fluid sprayed all over me haha i do have a horrible lean on driver side(normal) but im still happy might throw in the rear daystar spacer
Ill get more pics soon.
Looks great man! Throw in the rear spacer and you'll be level...mine is perfectly even with it. How much lift did you get? It looks to have lifted a lot. I'm guessing larger tires are next on the list too.

I forgot about taking measurements! Also dont forget im running 1.5 body lift too with out the body lift the rear would be about 39.5 im at 41 now and upfront im about 39.5. And 38 without body lift.i like the raked looked when lifted plus its not hugely noticeable. Also that is on 265/65/17 tires

Wow...you are way up there. Hard to think you're only .5" below mine with 33s and overly cranked coilovers up front. The rear is extremely high too b/c even without the BL, you're even with me. That makes me wish I had one. I would love the extra height but, despite many using them (safely), I'm just not that fond of them.
Glad the coilovers worked out for you too. How's the ride?

I use to not be fond of them but long as its not over1.5 then im good with them.
And it rides great way better than my xreas with 125000 miles i love it

Yea, like I said, I know they're "tried and true" in the smaller sizes. I just can't get the images of those old, huge 3"+ BL mounts sheering off and separating in a crash. The new ones are solid, especially when you get all the upgraded hardware with them. With that said, I may eventually add a .75" or 1" BL.
Great to hear you are enjoying the ride. It should corner much better than XREAS ever did...firm but not teeth-rattling.

The rear shocks are also in now
[/QUOTE]
Are these the part #F4-BE5-B110-T5?[/QUOTE]
Yea that is them. The bottom part of the shock is to small the fit on the stud of the 4runner though so you have to cut the lip of the old busing then push out the old bushing. And put in new bushings ill get the part number of the bushings i used if you want?

Thanks! And yea i will be going with bigger tires hopefully next month.
The battery is good it runs everything i have right now fine. The coldest its been here is about 18 deg and it had no trouble. It was the cheapest battery autozone had so i went ahead and got it i think it has a 4 or 5 year warranty by then hopefully ill be running dual battery setup so it wont matter
