Before and After Pics of Minor Suspension Upgrades

Looking for some good before and after pics of those 3rd Gen Runners that came with shorter springs (2000, 2001, 2002) that had mild suspension upgrades performed.

Currently looking at several options for replacing stock coils... I'm undediced about shocks, will depend on what coil I go with.

- 1999 4Runner coils
- Performance Product 1" coils
- may just keep stock coils in place

I also plan on jumping up to 265/75 tires as well.

I've found some good pics while searching... just curious if anyone has any that are handy that they could post.

Thanks all...

Didn't take any before pics, but check out this thread for after pics of my rig with the performance Products springs.

Paul... I've looked over your original thread several times, found it while searching. Love the color of your ride.

Are you still at 37 5/8"? Or did the springs settle further?
Can you confirm that the pics posted are with 265/75 tires?

Thanks for the pics/links...

I measured today & in 4k miles the springs have settled to just under 37 inches from ground to fender lip which would give me the advertised 1" lift from my starting point.

*bump*...

Curious if some additional folks could post pics of their 4Runners.

Looking for Runners with ~2 inches of lift on 265/75 tires.

many thanks...

Thanks Rock Slide... the build up of your Runner is impressive. It's obvious you put a lot of time/thought into the project.

The pics were great... hoping some other folks post as well. Trying to get an idea of how well the 265/75 tire fills out the gap with a minor lift.

The 4Runner looks great! I'm not familiar with Performance Products, but I'm glad to know about them.

Don't know if they are available.
