No worries - thats what we're here for, to help eachother out.

I on top of the above OME parts, I also have 1.5" ball joint spacers from SDORI, a 1" diff drop and 1" body lift from www.4crawler.com - if you get a BL from 4crawler also get the radiator drop brackets. I ordered them but forgot to install them and the fan was rubbing big time on the shroud.

I'm going to measure the rims this weekend and get you that backspacing number. Let me know if you need any other info.

Hey lofreqjeff,

Dont you also have 2" Downey rear leafs and not stockers like the po?
Nice looking runner by the way, never seen it before.

x2 on the backspacing, i wanna get some spare wheels to mount winter tires on. My current wheels stick out past the fenders alot.

Thanks - I love my 4Runner!

I guess I need to update my sig - I don't have the Downeys anymore, I back to the stockers. With the Downeys and the ZUK coils it was too high in the back and I didn't want to crank the t-bars anymore - plus at the time I did all that work I had 31" tires, and the height in the back looked way too high for those small tires.

The wheels/tires I had on before these were stock 95 Tacoma 15x7 rims with Goodyear 31x10.5x15 MT's and a 1" wheel spacer:

Old vs New:


I'll definately measure the rims - I have no clue about the backspacing - the place I got them at told me the BS was 19 - whatever that means. I think I'll yank one of them off tonite and measure it up for ya'll.

I have the OME springs w/ bj spacers in the front of my 4runner. I ended up w/ closer to 3 to 4" of lift in the rear over stock. Even with the bj spacers and a slight tbar crank, it still has a noticeable rake. It would easily clear 33's, I'm intending to go to 34 10.50's pretty soon.

yeah, if your shroud is missing, you shouldnt need the radiator drop bracket. I got a 1.5" body lift and didnt need them

this might be a dumb question but when i was looking at shocks they dont specify if they come as a pair or just a single ....i know the OME ones are like $90 so is that just for one shock or for a pair?
