CHSrunner

Ok now i know that a lot of people are against this route but i have to ask. I ran into a some extra cash (ok a lot) and i want to re-lift my 4runner. I used to have a full OME set-up that net around 3.25" front and back. I was running on 315/75/16 toyo m/ts (35") and that was fun but i want to go bigger while i have the chance. I don't have the need for a SAS although i really wouldn't mind it, just don't have the time or equipment. That being said i want a few opinions on this set-up:

Front:
6" Fabtech tacomca lift (drop bracket i know)
2" strut drop spacers (bolt between strut assembly and frame mount)
Keep in mind this rig will be off road but just light stuff no rocks in SC

Rear:
2" lift LC coils (OME 851) to net ~5.5" lift
LC OME N71E shocks
extended bump stops and brake lines
Adjustable panhard bar from SonoranSteel

My main questions have to do with the rear set-up. i really dont want to go to a leaf spring set up. Also keep in mind that i will be running 37"x13.5" toyo m/ts afterwards. And don't worry i would regear to compensate for the tires...thinking 5.29's or 4.88's

You must have ran into a ton of money. Sonoran steel is high dolla! I was planning on a Revtec 3'' with a 2'' bodylift on my 98 runner. Well let me know how this comes out.

sounds like an interesting plan, but in my opinion idk if 37s would be a good choice, unless your doing some serious drivetrain upgrades like new CVs and so on. definitely sounds like there would be some rubbing, but who knows with that big of a tire. but by all means post some pics of whatever you do.

5.29's if your wanting 37's. I only know one person succesfully running 37's that wheels there truck.

Just tub the firewall and trim to fit the 37's and save the $$$

I am planning on running 3-3.5" of lift when i swap and just tubing and cutting.

CHSrunner

I think i'm actually going to go the practical route now. Probably go with 3.5" suspension lift, 1-2" BL, manual hub conversion, 35"s with 4.88 gears, and ARB's front and rear, if i have money left over ill probably go for a shrockworks front bumper, and fab up a custom rear bumper at a buddy's shop. more practical and a hell of a lot more fun

crolison

If your gonna wheel why not just tub the fire wall? Save money from the bl and also lowers your cg.

Do you have sliders yet?

CHSrunner

No not yet. not 100% sure where i'm going to get them yet either

crolison

Might wanna check mossyrock fabrication sliders, its what i got and I beat on them a lot

In that case, skip the hubs, ARB's and bumpers, send me the left over couple grand and call it a day.

CHSrunner

Haha that would be quite a nice surprise woulnd't it??

It'd be faster to send the money up this way, instead of allllllllllllllll theeeeee wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to arizona...

One Question have you thought about long travel a-frames?
will give lift and travel!

CHSrunner

Yeah they would but they also make the front end like 3" wider than the back and im not a fan of wheel spacers. Plus i dont want to buy the fiberglass front fenders then have the wheels sticking way out in the back

benp

35's or 37's, its still gonna be tight as hell dude. Hows other car coming?? Haha. Hurry up with that bad boy so you can start on the 4runner

CHSrunner

Haha the other car is.... coming i guess. Should be done and sold by the end of may hopefully
