I just been thinking...

Is it possible to mix the daystar top spacer with the revtek isolator(?) (the one that goes between the top-plate and coil). I guess what I am trying to accomplish is 0.5-1.0 inches of extra lift. 3.5-4.0" lift.

forrunnabilly, I know you got your own custom top spacer. Just thinking if this is something people do...

If the 4th gen Daystar spacers are the same as the 3rd gen spacers I would say yes it is possible. However, you may experience CV joint failure at that lift height very quickly. Just my $.02.

Timber-

I truly feel that you do not want to go any higher than I have in the front. A stocker sits @ 33" from the ground to fender, and I am at just over 39". True, I am running 35" tires, but that still means I have about 4" of lift. My cv angles and boots have held up just fine so far and as I have said before, my angles are still less than 10 degrees, but another issue you may run into is the fact that the higher you go and the bigger the rubber you throw under there, the more difficult a correct alignment is going to become.

I am mixing the revtek spacer with the downey coils in the rear. My custom spacers will be coming out this weekend, and the downeys plus the revteks will remedy the scenario (i hope ). Lance and I are both exploring the coil plus spacer option in the rear. I can get those custom front spacers fabbed for you anytime you want em though. Hope this helps.

Cant wait to see your ride go up.

It is most definitely possible just as Jim has stated. But it is not recommended as you will do more damage than anything else. You'll definitely look good though with a great lift but I think you must worry more about the long term damage that can happen to your 4runner. There are reasons why aftermarket lift developers only make the lift a specific height. It is because they understand the limitation of the truck they're developing, so going beyond what they recommend is not recommended.

Just to let ya know, you can do alot w/ 3" of lift and 285's you know. Getting 4" of lift won't get you that much farther. Keep in mind that when you're on the trail, it's 90% driver skills and 10% truck. I've seen skillful drivers take their truck places I didn't even think it was possible when I saw their truck. So keep that in mind Enjoy your 4runner and learn to appreciate the "stockness" of it so you can be a better driver on the trails!

Good luck!

I get mixed messages from GoodTimes and forrunnabilly about the lift height. I see both your points. I have to make the final decision on my own.

LOL...I guess Lance and I should have told you ahead of time that our true goal was just to confuse you the best we can...

There is honestly no exact or correct answer for this question. I know we are both happy to help you though.
