So here it is!!! I gotta say, I was in shock with the final result. I was speechless!!! Matt did a fantastic job with my truck.... His fab skills are hands down BAD ASS!!! This thing tracks straight, no bump steer anymore, no drifting, no play in the wheel, no dive when breaking, no airplane takeoff when accelerating. Before, my truck was sky high and drove like ˟˟˟˟˟. When going around turns, this think felt like it was gonna roll.... now I can actually swerve if theres a hazard, before, I might have rolled. This thing handles like it did when it was IFS. It drives fantastic! I feel completley safe with my wife driving in it with our child. Overall.... very happy!!
Final numbers
Frame height----23"
Gap between tire and fender in both front and rear is 12"... Keep in mind, I have fiberglass fenders in the front so the gap is the same but there is a nice 3.5" difference between the front and rear giving me the nice rake I was looking for. I can still go down another inch but Im gonna drive it for a while. I like how it sits now so I doubt Ill be changing it. Front WMS is 71" and no more wheel spacers, rear is 70.5" WMS with 1.25" spacers only because I needed a hub centric ring and the aftermarket Dutchman axles in the rear are not hubcentric. Without the spacers in the rear, I would be at 68" WMS

I am simply speechless...That is the nicest 4Runner I have ever seen! Great job with all the fab work! Do you want to sell it to me now?
