I put on a set of 32 inch BFG All Terrains over the weekend and the sagging rear of the Yota was mucho evident. So a call was made to summit racing for an Add-A-Leaf kit. Got to my house in a day and then it took bout 2 hours to install. Not bad i got about 2 1/2 lift on the rear and now it is raked forward a touch which i like much better. I didnt want to spend a bunch on a lift kit since i will eventually swap in a solid front end.

Before



After








Kind of funny, the Add-A-Leaf will stiffen up the rear suspension, but going down the road it seems flexier. Thats Odd.

 

Looks better without a doubt, and for $45 too. But who balanced your tires? You have enough weight on there to open up a gym.

 

not really odd, actually. but you'll eventually have to fix the rear whether you SAS the front or not.
looks good though.

 

OH yeah i will have to respring it all reaoud when i SAS, but for now this will last till i can save up some money or have my wife finally get a job.

Actually those are not weights, they are the spots the old weights were on the rims. When i instaleld the tires, i yanked off all the old weights and had like 2 pounds of lead. I think the lazy people who installed the tires left the old weights on and then added more. Like maybe 3 sets of tires worth. I took them all off. And you know the BFGs are pretty balacned right now. But i need to get them done because there is a little vibration at higher speeds. Once i get the new weights on i will repaint. I also removed the spare tire and now i can see all the way under the truck, kind of odd.

 

Nice 4runner, looks good. How does the add-a-leaf ride?

 

With only ride, it rode fine, a little loose on the rear but nothing dramatic.

 

Dude, I love your 4Runner, it looks so good.

 

Looks good! Is that the stock paint/color on your runner, I like the color with the black, it looks and definitely a well spent $45

 

were did you pick them rims up at and how much?

 

looks alot better.

one thing i loved about savannah was summit was only a couple hours away. next day shipping automatically

 

man savannah ga im there summit got any rims that will fit a 88 4runner 15x7jj-8
i think it is on my rim?

 

whats the part number for the add a leaf? i like that and i so need to get this done just like you a temp fix untill the sas is done!!!

you should pm me the part number though thanks man

 

very nice

 

Man that fourrunner is in good shape.

 

What is the part number and brand? I was looking at Summit yesterday and they had Rancho, Skyjacker, and whatever else. I'm sick of looking at my rear end and need to tighten it up!!

 

I will post up the part nubmers when i get home tonight. THe add-a-leaf was about $35 with the 9 buck handling fee. It was nice that it came from Savannah

The paint is factory, I ned to get at the hood and roof. Surprising the 4runner has zero body rust except for the Hardtop L trim and the spot under the windshield frame which i need to get at, but i was so happy to get this truck. I took the top off but had to put it back on just because i didnt have a soft top yet and i was not going to let it sit out in the rain and possibly rust. I want it to look nice, until the trail starts to put some nicks and dents in it

The rims are actually just some white steelies i painted satin black.

 

sweet buddy thanks

 

and i think you have the same rims i have mine where white and i painted them gloss black though lol

 

OK, the Summit PArt number is EXP-13120

It it 2 leafs plus a bag of 4 spring center pins, 2 large and 2 smaller. You cut them to fit. Also presoak your current center pin with penetrating oil or have a torch handy to heat up the nut to break free the rust. Also when i put it together i couldnt use the washers that came go before the nuts on the ubolts. The new leafs will only really allow you to get just the nuts onto the ubolts.

 

any pictures from under this bad boy i wanna see how you put them on
