Hey folks,
Earlier this year I sold my 2006 V8 2WD (which I rather liked), and sort of regretted it, so I'm picking up a new-to-me 2006 Limited V8 4x4 this upcoming weekend, which I got for an excellent price.
Of course, now I have to mod it again.
It has the typical 4Runner front-end rake which I can't stand, so I want to level it out. Last time I used the Daystar 2.5/1.5 kit, which I thought had an excellent stance, but this time I want to do something a little different so I'm thinking about FJ coils on Bilstein 5100's (which seems to be pretty common).
I can't seem to find any threads on what settings people are running here, and if they're running a spacer or not. I don't need a huge amount of lift (planning on running 265/65/18 rubber), but I would like it somewhat level.
Given the new truck is a V8 4x4, what settings would folks recommend up front? Would it make sense to put a spacer on top of it, as well?
Any pictures of this specific setup? I can find some with V8 2WD trucks, but those aren't quite analogous.
Thanks!
:reddance:
Edit: One more question, would it make sense to re-use my stock shocks? I'd assuming put in new ones, but the ones in the truck I'm picking up have 54k miles on them.
