3" REVTEK Ordered for the '04
Yes, I am #1,232,323 to jump on the "let's lift our 4th gen's" bandwagon.
My buddy also ordered his. Both should be here Friday. WE will most likely do the lift this Saturday or Sunday (or both if we really suck).
WE live in San Diego , so it's a Socal Lift Party - isn't someone else doing theirs as well this weekend? Board will be busy
Game on!

Seems like a lot of lifts this weekend.
Timber725 in LA will be doing a Revtek this weekend, and I will be doing a Daystar this weekend. I'm North Cal.
So three lifts in Cali this weekend.

Yep,
I'm doing my lift with Revtek kit this Saturday. If all goes well, we should be done on Saturday, and I can go shoe shopping on Sunday.
Like others, I will also try to take as many photos as possible. I found our predecessors to be very helpful on this board, and would like to contribute my experience for others as well.
Have fun guys...

Yup, we will be taking pictures as well - maybe some short video also. This site and others really help ----
Lance, 4route, etc all gave me the confidence to try this.
WE are doing two (2) Revtek lifts, one XREAS, the other regular. So a total of FOUR(4) Lifts in Cali this weekend alone? I may not get my kit until Monday worst case, so we may just do the non XREAS one (mine) first.
NIce!

Out of curiosity,
What tires/wheels are you guys going to go with post-lift?
I'm leaning towards the 285/75R16 Goodyear MTR on American Racing Victor Teflon 16x8.

I'm going to keep the stock Limited wheels and put on Revo's 265/70/17. Not a big change, want to maintain ride as close as possible to stock.
SO when I'm done you will have to look carefully to see the change. I just wanted more trail capability. I found the stock 9" ground clearance is OK, but limiting sometimes. I dont do hardcore trails (still not experienced enough), but dont like scraping the bottom sometimes.

Couldn't you do this without a lift, does the lift give any bebefit other than being able to fit larger wheels?

For a stock 4th gen Sport, would 265/70/17 front and 275/70/17 rear rub in the back (given i don't rotate my tires)? I prefer the back treads to be slightly wider than the fronts, can I run with offsetting tire width w/o any handling problems?

Hey
You should buy me the Camburg Equal-length I-beams for my Ford Ranger along with some Fox 2.0 Coilovers and I'll come to the lift-party and bring the goodies! Oh, a new 5.0 would be nice too

Very cool, SD4runner wish I could make your lift I'm Goodtimes, and I are destroying, I mean helping Timber out with his. . Be very careful when you do the XREAS lift, I busted a speed sensor without even knowing when I did my lift. Fortunately the stealer is taking care of it.

To gain ground clearance at the rear diff, you would need to get larger tires. 33" tires from stock (30.5") gives you roughly 1.25" of ground clearance. If you stick with stock tires, you're gain is 0" in the rear.
However, if you are referring to the increase in approach, breakover, and departure angle then that is true you do get an increase.
