I've just starting to get my 2000 4Runner modified. It will be mild. Enough to enhance it's offroad capability and set it apart from the mall runners.
![]() As mentioned, don't post in this profile!!!! If you have any questions, just PM me.

Well I put my mild lift on today. TRD coils up front (no spacers) and OME 890s out back. Here is a before and after picture. I got 1.75" up front and 3.25" out back. The rear was sagging quite a bit. I know they will settle some still.
Before ![]() After ![]() Specs: Tundra TRD Coils. Left, 48131-AF100 (Yellow/Yellow). Right, 48131-AF090 (Blue/Yellow) Old Man Emu 890 Rear Coils. (A Coil goes on drivers side) Shocks: Front, Bilstein F4-BE5-2450-HO. Rear, Bilstein F4-BE5-2451-HO. (Yellow Body and Blue Boot) I reused my Bilsteins because they are still in good condition. I like the ride. I bought the springs from http://www.trdparts4u.com/ SS Front Diff Drip. http://www.sonoransteel.com/ I also installed Poly swaybar bushings from http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/4runswaykit.htm . And rear swaybar end bushings from AutoZone.

I took some pictures. They arn't pretty but that's not what were looking at. Just a reminder, I have Tundra TRDs up front and OME 890s out back. I don't have any extra spacers, just the springs for lift.All measurements were made from the bottom of the flair to the center of my wheel cap. Unloaded the measurement was: Front 22.25" ,Rear 23". All other measurements will reflect a drop or rise from these measurements. I added 35# sandbags to my rear bumper for weight. This was as close as I could get to hitch weight.
Unloaded the measurement was: Front 22.25", Rear 23". ![]() Loaded with +210 lbs: Front no change, Rear drop of .5" ![]() Loaded with +315 lbs: Front rise of .25", Rear drop of .75" ![]() Loaded with +420 lbs: Front rise of .25", Rear drop of .1.25" ![]() Loaded with +560 lbs: Front rise of .5", Rear drop of 1.75" ![]() This is 560 lbs of sandbags. This is the placement for this test. ![]() My setup in by no means harsh nor is it squishy when loaded or unloaded. My ride was more harsh with the stock spring/shock combo. Stock I had Tokicos, I replaced them with Bilsteins which gave me a firm supple ride. I was still hitting my bumpstops and Jounce Bumbers (rear overloads) I kept my Bilsteins with my new springs. Great ride. Shocks can have as much if not more effect than springs on how harsh a ride can be. OME Info: "I am giving you the approximate lift heights, your exact amount of lift will vary slightly depending on the condition of your current springs. The front heights are respectively: 880=1.25", 881=1.75" & 882=2.25" and the rears are: 906=2.0", 890=2.75" & 891=3.0" . The 882's are not an ARB/ OME recommended fit, but our experience has shown that they work well with some applications. " (info given from 4X4 Connection)
