I usually don't help French Canadians...



If you indeed go with a drop bracket type lift, (Which is a lot of work to install ....) Along with a 2" body lift, you'll probably clear the 35's for on the street driving.

Any sort of offroad driving which may articulate the front or rear suspension will most likely cause rubbing... Trimming the fenders is not that hard or that noticeable. Even with 8" of total lift, I still rubbed on the rear with 35's...Actually, I rubbed in the front too for a bit until I cut the pinch weld.

good decision, if you cut and tubb all you need is 2.5" of lift and the right backspacing wheels. This is me borrowing some 35's they only rub on the pinch weld and fender, and I am running 2ish" up front and 3ish" out back

there is your pinch weld mod, just hammering in some of the metal so your tires don't rub. 2ish, is slang for 2 inch or more lift, and 3ish is 3 inches or more. i'm sure they probably work, follow SC4Runners link on his signature. thats your set up, or follow crolisins build up idea those drop down bracket lifts are expensive.

This is what i am going to be doing when i tubb my firewall. You can also accomplish the same thing with a hammer, but its gonna take a lot of hammer to pound it back.

I said 2ish", because I don't know how much lift I am actually running. I am running all suspension lift.

Custom made rear bumper

If your gonna go with the procomp 4" lift, i'd suggest lc coils in the rear to get you 4" of lift in the back.

You don't gain ground clearance from a dp lift. The tires in a dp lift provide the extra ground clearance, as with a susp lift provides more gc and then tires on top of that provide more gc. Plus your now driving with a battering ram up front.

I didn't know that the kit came with coils, most people have to use a taco dp lift up front.

I wouldn't be worried about cv angles at 2-2.5" of lift, i have leaking cv's (been leaking a while) and a front locker and still havent broken one yet. I think that day will be soon, i believe one is starting to click, but i dont care because they are manual hubs and I got 2 spares.

the actual drop bracket, since its lower down and creates a steeper angle for skid.

which your stock skids won't work with it (besides the stock skids are not that great). i'd also look into a custom budbuilt skid plate.

i whant 35" because its good in the mud
for the skid plate its not a problem i am machinis and i work in a big shop
the 4runner is really complycate to setup but for me its the most butyful truck
thank you all for thos infos it save me a lot of time and translation whit the dictionary
thank you

Another option to get 315's in place.

I believe a body lift and some cutting is required but not tubbing. See #15 in the FAQ at the bottom of the page. Also get in touch with Steve the owner. He can tell you exactly what is required.
