Your 4runner looks great!! Love the roof rack. Also love the 3rd gen wheels, just bought a set for my 4runner!

Thanks man! Let me know if you need an extra wheel for your spare.. I have 3 because I had to buy a whole set to get my spare

The only thing i need to do to the rear is maybe add a small 1" block for more clearance. Im bout to post up some pics of the flex in my lift thread wiht my old tires on there in a minute.

I have the 1.5 lift Downey shackles. It sits pretty level but I need a little more height (my skids show it

) and I will be going 33x10.5s when I wear the 31s out. I figure BJ spacers and leaf packs like that will get me enough to do till the long travel. That's good to know about the torsions.. I think with the spacers and stock bars I should be good with flex.

I don't know how they would prove that you knocked them off. I would just email them again though and tell them that the big ones look so awesome on my truck you want some

. Feel free to send them a pic of mine.. Maybe they'll give me a break on the 33s

Ok, got some pics of the mounts today. They still have some fiberglass dust on there but whatever. I'm gonna put some washers and nuts on top of the thumbscrews to make it a little more theft deterrent.

Also got my shovel mounted up last night.. Now just need to get the bolts to mount the Hi-Lift:

Hopefully those pics of the mounts make a little more sense now. Let me know if you have any more questions...

Thanks. Yeah, I just set it where I wanted it and drilled through the existing holes in the Yakima mounts. As far as sealing I just put some silicone on the bolts before I tightened everything down. It seems to be sealed but I'm gonna keep an eye on it to make sure.

The front is much stiffer and it makes the ride a little rougher. but b/c they are bigger and cranked a little bit then it doesnt allow the suspension to reach full droop. That is also what i have heard a few times here on YT, so try doing a little searching and see what you come up with.
