PEACE !

 

LT,

Welcoem to yotatech! I have one of the only lifted 4runners Check out my site, PM me if you have any questions

Hello Again,


Lets first start off with, if you have tons on money to blow Go this way:

FabTech 6" Tacoma Lift (Front only)

All-Pro Leaf spring kit for the back (6" Kit)

Fabtech kit is about 1800 or so...
all-pro is about 800 in total with all parts needed for the lift kit.

With that set up, you would be able to clear 35's...

Or you can go with:

Pro Comp Front Lift kit 4" with Downey add in 3"
All-Pro Leaf spring kit for the back (6" Kit)


Your looking to spend around 3,000.00+ if you want to go a good way, most of the guys here will say go with a SAS, but if you do the front alone will be around 3k... or more...


Let me know if you have any questions!

 

Most of us 3rd Gen guys only run 2-3" because of the CV joints. If you go much higher than that with a huge differential drop you asking for a major headache. With that much stress on your front end you will be tearing up your CV's and destroying ball joints. I would stick to the smaller lifts like most of us run unless you can afford to do a SAS. Good luck

 

Dood , Breezey, that is one of the sickest 4runners i have seen ! That is exactly how i imagined mine ! I love the rack on top and the sliders. Which lift are you using and what about what was mentioned about the CV angles ? what size SSR's are those ? are you locked also ? man, nice job ! what is SAS ? I like the pro comp/downey/all pro solution does that leave 7" in front and 6" in back ? How much are these components ? and are they all that are needed ?

 

I have a total of 6.5" on my 97 4Runner. I have 305/70r16 (33x12.5) BFG MT and have plenty of room for 35s.
To clear these I got:

Old Man Emu shocks and coils (2.5"-3")
Cornfed Spacers (1.5")
Roger Brown Body Lift (2")
Wheel Well Grinding (1" for uptravel)

This cost around $800 and I did the work myself

 

Hyperlite:

Did you opt to go with the soft, firm, or firmest shocks/coil set?

I cant make up my mind on what to go with...

 

I wish we had mud like that in Texas...(sorry OT).

 

Hijack on:

Hyperlite:

How do you run that high of a lift up front without CV issues? I understand that 2" is a body lift. But, still 4.5" in the front is huge on the CV's.

Hijack off:

 

Hey all.....

My CV were not at a bad angle at all... I have decided to do a strait Axel now, www.toy4runner.com for the lastest updates on that.

I spent around 11,000.00 on my truck over the summer. This time around, I am spending around 6,000.00 ..

 

Ouch, I thought I have spent a lot........

 

Breezey "I have one of the only lifted 4runners"

:wtf:

Please.....get serious....




Jim,

Hyperlite included the gain from his tires as well (I think?)...

 

I think he was being a little ummm...sarcastic

 

He was being A LOT SARCASTIC...Dave just hasn't had his caffeine yet today or something...

 

I hope so, otherwise that was one of the more retarded comments I've read on yotatech.....

Which reminds me, got an email from Steve Schaeffer yesterday, I think he misses the board....

 

 

I don't know what happened, I've only heard rumors, but does he get to come back from being banned or whatever? I find more good info on his site...

 

I think he's banished until the 25th of Jan.

 

Weird...he's not on the memberlist anymore, yet EClayton is

 

What's the deal with EClayton anyways, never heard the whole story?
