Installed 7" lift in my 4runner - Now on 37x14 Iroks PICS!

Fitted some Cruiser Coils and 3" bodylift yesterday on my 2nd gen 4runner for a show'n'shine I've got next weekend. The 3" bodylift is only temporary for the show, but the Cruiser Coils will be staying. They ride much better than my previous 2" coils and 1" spacer setup, and should be heaps better when all loaded up with camping gear. They gave a tad over 4" lift to the rear, and I think it has a nice stance now with the back a little higher than the front.

I'll also be fitting 36's on BLING rims for the show which my local tyre shop is lending to be. I was just going to use my 37's, but I think 36's will look cool enough!!

Heres a prevous thread that shows my 4runner on 37 Iroks.

And heres the pics of the new lift!!!
Before New Springs and 3" Bodylift (bout 5" lift)


AFTER - 7" Lift and still drives great!! 8)








My sister-in-law...she hated this photo, so I had to post it up

Wow, that looks sweet...

I think the 36's look kinda small for that much lift.

Do you still have the stock trailing arms in the rear?

Is all you have in the front the BJ spacers with cranked T-bars? If so they must be cranked pretty good right?

Your tires/wheels add the greatest looks to your rig. That and the V8, custom interior, and the sister-in-law.

Aside from that, do those handle well in mud? The runner I mean...

He makes a good point. You should put some pics of that thing being wheeled. Or maybe some video too.

Yeah stock arms in the rear....the top arm near the fuel tank has a nice bend in it now but, so will have to fix up that soon.

Yep, just 1" BJ spacers in the front, it is fairly cranked, but I still have 15-20mm off the bumpstops, which have been trimmed a little.
