Looks good, those rear coils gave you a real nice lift.

nice ride... cant wait for mine to look like that! Just gotta find the time to put it all on. You got any pics of the cv's?

tigertowncruiser

I'll try to get some tomorrow. The angle is not bad , but when i put the lift on they shot grease everywhere. it doesn't anymore , so its either all gone or stopped lol . if they start making noise or anything ill replace them with lifetime warranty reman cv's. If i could find the right size cv clamps here i would replace them , but i put zip ties for now and they stopped leaking. it took me a friend maybe 10 hours to do the lift. Now that i have done it , i could probably do it in 4-5. I wasted time trying to get the strut assembly put back in the front without taking out the 4 bolts holding the lower ball joint on and not disconnecting the sway bar, both of those make it way easier. I spent time in the back with a coil compressor , as i didn't have jacks to lift the frame high enough where i could just slide the coils in , i could take the factory out easier , but the fj80's are tall. I was planning on having to do some trimming and such , but i have no rubbing at all so far.

I want to get a roof rack like yours but then it won't fit in the garage , the factory rails are only about 2 inches from the garage door , maybe i can do a 2" bodylift and still squeeze in lol.

did the tires rub up front at all? Mine did, I diid a little trimming & its all good now!

Looks good!
I can't fit mine in the garage with the roof rack either, but my garage is more of a shop and the runner lives outside. If I want to clean and wax it, I just pull the rack off; though I might need to air down the tires to get in with the 1.5" body lift I just did.

Looks awesome! I'd love to hear what you think of the new BFG's, I'm thinking about getting those next.

I really like the tires. I am just hoping they last for at least 20-30k. I am coming from street tires so they are alot noisier. I dont have much experience with mud tires , but i did have a fj80 landcruiser with 35" km1's and i think the km1's were quieter. I have read everywhere that km2's are quiet but i really think on the landcruiser the km1's were quieter. Its not unbearable , unless you are driving without the radio on and at highway speeds it gets annoying. they are probably better than most m/t's . i hear alot of trucks roaring and humming down the road and my truck definitely does not sound like that. I have not been off road with them , so cant comment there

The new BFG 's are awesome IMO. I have the same KM2's in a 35x12.50R15. As tiger said they are quiet compared to other M/t's (my last set of goodyear MT/R's were flipin loud!) I only drive in dirt on my set of KM2's and they are just as good as those MT/R'
s or even better.

Do you know what gears you have? Auto or manual. Noticable power loss, plans to regear?

I really like your setup and am thinking of doing the same. Ive got an auto with 4.30s so I think I could swing the 33s as is.

Cal01

looks good. what shocks did you go with with fj80?

tigertowncruiser

I have factory shocks , they are nearly fully extended. thats my next step , new shocks all around. I got used oem fj80 shocks with my rear coils , but i am almost positive they are blown so didnt want to waste time putting them in.

clydehatchet

now that your runner is lookin good, park that porsche in my driveway.

delio

nice ride I know what mine will look like when i put the lift....hows the drive line angle..

Ocean Racer

That looks really good.. I want a 3 inch lift for my '99 runner, just starting to look at whats out there. Whats the best bang for the buck? Got a ton of miles on my runner already.. I have had several big lifted F350's.. Legal lifts.. Won't the police mess with SUV's taller than 28" from bumpers down?

xskydivingdudex

wtf there is such thing as a limit on how tall ur truck can be from the ground?! thats CRAZY... in texas i have nvr heard of anything like that and well none of my friends have ever had probs with that so im assuming its all state regulations. Most of my friends have big lifted trucks (fords and chevys) ranging from 3"-10" lifts. I personally only have a 3" lift on my 4runner tho.
