I've only had the truck since Thanksgiving and have been itching to finally put stuff on. I just snapped a couple pics to show what I spent the weekend doing. Rear are Land Cruiser springs and OME shocks. Front are 882's and OME shocks. I'm still waiting for the rear to settle a bit. I will take better pictures when I get the tires and wheels mounted. Procomp 1059's and BF Goodrich 285's getting mounted on Tuesday...more to come...

Dragster look!




Not the greatest pic, but you get the idea...

Nice looking runner, congrats! I just put LC coils in the rear. Mine were only 7.5 wraps and I was surprised at how much lift I got out of them. I think my rear sits more than 2" taller than my front with the 3" cornfeds.

i can't remember which LC coils i got. I'm at 39.5" at the rear fender height and 38" for the front right now. Nice looking truck too...seems like it was the weekend everyone was lifting!

Great looking rig. You did basically the same lift as me. Judging by your measurements, you got the shorter LC coils. If you got them new, they will settle some over time. Mine sagged just under an inch from new until now. The LC's and OME 882's are perfect together.

Thanks, I think it was your rig that finally swayed my decision on which lift to get. I was on the fence for a while with which rear setup was going to match the best. I was actually going to keep the running boards on like yours, but sliders are next on my list.

What size tires do you have on in the pics? 265/70/16?

jdmaccord6

You are correct, they are 265/70/16 tires in the picture.

I take this back, my tires are 265/75/16's my new ones are going to be 285/70/17's...sorry for the mix up

E30RUNNER

well the lift looks great and I like the color of your rig. Make sure you post some pics with the new tires and wheels and some new measurements

BajaRunner

Wow, how many wraps did you have on the LC coils? They seem high! Are you going to put an adjustable panhard bar in the rear?

Get some more pics before you put the other wheels on just to show us guys what the lift looks with the smaller tires.

That's a sick setup man.

I think it was the 7 wrap coils? Yeah, it was way higher then i expected when i finished. I already put in the toytec panhard drop bracket so the bar is corrected. I made sure to try and get everything i needed to do it right before slapping random parts on there. I do still need a few things like extended brake lines and extended endlinks which should be getting in this week.

Finally took a couple more kinda horrible pictures of the lift with the stock wheels and with the new wheels...Still a lot more to do with it...enjoy...

In the first pics the rear is substantially higher, then in the last few pics the truck is even. What did you do to the front? Is there a body lift? I have a rev tec lift in mine and just had the ome rear springs and shocks installed. I had them leave the spacers in the rear but now I am alot higher in the rear. I was wondering if I could do something to the front to increase height? or should I just remove the rear spacers? Anyone with info feel free. Also the rear feels really sloppy. Im gonna assume the best bet would be to take out those spacers. The springs are compressed more than they should be and probably is effecting there performance.

I would be willing to bet that the pics with the rear of the OP's 4runner higher than the front were taken before he got the front lift installed. As for the rear of your truck, I would be willing to bet that with the rear spacers installed on top of the other lift, the panhard bar needs to be lengthened. Unless you really like the nose-down look, I would just remove the spacers. IIRC, the revtec lift in the front is for 3", and going any higher than that isn't recommended on the 3rd gens due to the changed CV angle.

jdmaccord6

the first two pictures are just with the rear lift on. I finished up with lifting the front the day after. Depending on how many miles are on those front springs, i would just swap out for some new longer springs instead of leaving in the spacer.
