I've had a few people do this. But here it is with new tires.

Jason,

I think he was asking about wheel spacers versus suspension spacers.

I must say I do like the RED. That is very rare these days on 4Runners. I like it.

looks really nice. not to hijack but for all of you guys with bigger tires, is a speedometer recalibration always something you do or do you run the risk? my sister got something slightly larger tires on her montero sport (no lift, just tires), and she was running aobut 5mph over that her speedo said. she got a ticket for it

Most don't do it, but a portable GPS system, like a Garmin, will tell you your exact speed. If you can borrow one, you can know for sure.

They dont really rub unless I take like a sharp turn over a bump. I plan puting a spacer on all four wheels sometime soon. Over all Im very happy with my 4runner as of now.


My 4Runner before anything.


My 4runner after the lift and with old tires.


My Runner of Four after the lift and new tires.








There ya have it. I plan on doing the front Dif Drop and panhard drop sometime soon. I hear its a must.

How did your cv's hold up with this spacer lift and how was your ride quality?
