since i don't think toytec makes anything but the spacers, you might want to mention some solutions to the following questions:
where should someone get the front differential drop spacers to run 3" of front lift? what do you recommend as a fix for the panhard misalignment after lifting? what about the e-brake relocation bracket? what about an extended rear hydraulic brake line?

ok, good to see that they at least offer the correct parts.
on the panhard, you should consider a drop bracket, drop bar, or adjustable bar in order to correctly re-center the axle. once the rear axle is recentered, then you will gain a slight bit more of rear flex since the OEM hard rubber bushings won't be binding *quite* as much. the ultimate solution is some custom rear lower links with rubicon express joints and a custom, adjustable-length panhard with better end bushings. on the front lift amount, be careful at 2.5" with CV breakage at droop. at 3", it's just a matter of time before you rip the cage out of the inner joint. not if, but WHEN. 2" is the magic number for the front. at that point, everything still works like the toyota engineers designed them. over that, and you reach a point of diminishing returns (loss of droop) until you hit 2.5". after that, then you hit of point of eventual failure of components.

bamachem,
although I have thought about a panhard drop bar, (for a long time) mine alligns so close to spec, i get it (4 wheel) aligned at least once a month, in the summer, its every other week, (thank God for the 3yr alignment from firestone) so thats why I never really worried about it. on the front lift, I appreciate the comments, but am aware of the CV angle, and they can break, if you go to high. thats why I love yotatech, most people are very willing to help out and offer some thoughts, ideas, suggestions, and are nice and polite about it. as said earlier, this lift works for me, and Toytec has great products, GREAT customer service, nice prices. |

So there is accurate information posted on Yotatech, a longer or corrected trac/panhard bar has nothing what so ever to do with a vehicles front end alignment. The stock rear links are not adjustable so it would be physically impossible to 4 wheel align a 3rd Gen 4Runner.

Can this be retro-active? I just found this thread, but I ordered my kit last week and got it this week. I would have liked to been able to get the discount. I went with Option #2, and I hope to have it installed by tomorrow evening. I have the rear already complete, and 1/2 of the front. I am also using the stock Sport wheels and with the tires (285 BFG AT) mounted, it does not look like I will have any upper control arm rubbing issues. I can post some pics once I complete the install. I am planning to leave the front spacer out and see how everything works after the springs settle. If I need it, I will install it later. Let me know if they will work with me on the price since I bought it before I found the discount.

I got my lift finished yesterday, and everything went on without any problems. I also emailed Toytec, and Dale told me that he would give me a credit for the price difference. I would recommend that anyone looking for an economical lift system give them a call, since they are quick to answer questions, and easy to deal with. I'll try to get some pictures later this week so you can see what Option #2 looks like with no top spacer.
