I'm in west covina. Planning to lift mine with Revtek by next month, and like to practice on sombody else's 4runner :smile:

Practice!! Since you'll observe my install, you have to give me the same chance to do the same on yours.

Wow!!! what an experience installing the Daystar spacers. First off all I'd like to thank Goodtimes, he more than proved himself to be a great mechanic, and a hell of a nice guy. Also thanks to Anthony1 for stopping by and helping with the install.

After we finished the front install, I made a judgement call and decided to leave it as is. I like the leveled look of the rig which gives it a more aggresive stance.

Here are the pics we took.

Good stuff guys, looks great!!! Pity it was too far for me to go Good pics.

Seems like it is a little easier with the 2WD, no front driveshafts and CVs to get in the way

I will hopefully go in a couple of weeks, but I will do the rear as well, need the ground clearance for wheeling.

Too bad I couldn't make it Victor. Something unexpected came up and couldn't get out of it. What did you guys do after the install? Did you end up going, Bob?

Biff, I still think you got way too much power.....
It's good to connect the name with the face.

Power is good, I love the option of having a reserve of power just in case I need it.

Thanks, vinnie. Yes the abs sensors went off, but its okay just add it to the cost of install. I still save money over having a suspension shop install it $270 for install and total cost for me was $160 which includes an alignment and having tghe abs lines fixed.
