just finished 3.4 swap with new wheels and tires too

I got my 90 4runner on the road yesterday with the 3.4 swap finally complete. Being that I work at a tire shop I had to get new wheels and tires for it. I picked up some ultra nomads wheels and cooper stt tires in 35-1250-17. I have a 3" body lift and it clears decently now but I am adding a 1.5" ball joint spacers up front for a little extra room and need to add spacers for the rear.

I have the classic sagging rear and would like the truck to sit level. Should I use the 2.5 or 1.5 rear spacers? I know with the 2.5 I need a drop bracket for the panhard bar. Would 2.5 be too far on the stock brake lines and all the other stock rear suspension?

Id go 1.5 man, 2.5 is a lot of adjustment. A lot more than most people think but that just my opinion. Id rather it sit a smudge lower in back than in front

Throw on some LC coils instead of that spacer.

Agreed, or OME etc.

That truck looks good, I'm usually a fan of black steelies but I do like those wheels and I wish my 2nd gen $runner had wing windows.

Get some of these, they will put the back end up and then some.

Before new tires. (31's on it here)

After putting on 33's
