So AZ4Runner you still owe us some pictures. Or was my sceptisism correct that you are just another NE flanky? I noticed you jumped on this thread to say how good NE was, but then failed to post any pics as you promised. Then a few phantom posts of the same thing, and then to just dissappear in thin air.
Seems like another classic NE move to me. Prove me wrong and post those pics, almost a month now.

Bulldog's rig is looking good with a new OME setup.
Sorry if this is a dupe post, but bulldog, have you posted about this on the yotatech site?

Here are those Photos
Hey BullDog-Yota...Sorry about the delay. I haven't checked out the forum in a few months. Been too busy to offroad let alone check up on the latest 4Runner gossip. I've posted photos a while back on Car Domain (all that I've taken as of yet), but they definitely show my rig with the lift. I've been lovin the lift and haven't had any troubles. Actually, I've had dozens of compliments and look forward to more. Thanks for responding to my thread earlier though. You can check it out at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/803521

I think you are in AZ, I might be going through there sometime, then we can go wheeling.

Lets see if I can dredge this thread up again.
I have a 3rd gen 4runner but have a friend that has a 4th gen 4runner. He is thinking of a small lift. I looked under it and...What the heck is up with the shocks? They have a small hose, size of a brake line, running off them. What is it? Can the shocks be replaced? Should they be replaced? What lift can he use with the stock shocks? (springs not spacers)
I have since found out that it is the X-reas. Since the 4runner isn't mine and I don't know what the x-reas is but since reading this thread I think I have figured it out.
Now back to this thread. Any new updates? Are spacers the only safe way to go and save the x-reas?

As the OP I'm embarassed to say that I'm still running the NE spacers (without the relocs). I'm going to try to finally take them out this weekend in favor of the 1" front spacer from Daystar (KT09117BK).

First post here...
I would like to lift my 07 V8 4 runner using these Bilstein Height Adjustable Front shocks i called bilstein directly and they have no idea if they work on the 4 runners? I have also called All Pro Offroad and they don't know... I called ToyTecLifts and of course they said it fits but the female that answered the phone couldn't explain why Bilstien doesn't advertise this? Thanks for any help

Finally got my nitrous spacers out. Man the rear is riding better now and I wish I hadn't waited this long.
EDIT May 1 2008 Solution #4 (the winner!) OLD Man Emu 3" kit designed for 4th gen 4Runner
Slee sells this. My local place ordered the parts and did the install this week.
