'97 4 Runner Alignment - After Lift

I drive a '97 Limited and just put a 3" lift on this weekend. The front lift consisted of stock front coils from a '99 4Runner and Bilstein adjustable struts up front. The rear has OME906 coils and Bilstein 5125's. I also put the PAN hard bracket and front diff drop on as part of the install.

I need to align the vehicle and was wondering if I can use the "factory settings" or if I should request something different to account for the lift.

Take it to a competent shop and they should be able to align it properly with the lift. If they have to ask, take it somewhere else.

Like wab said..


I just did the same thing, When you tell them truck/ 4x4 and they ask lifted or not they'll charge you maybe 15 bucks more, Im not sure why maybe it because they have to dial it in more..
But yeah, they'll put it to where it should be

Yeah, like they said above--take it to a shop that knows alignments and its not gonna be cheap. It takes time to play with those CAMS to get CASTER, CAMBER and etc into place. Figure about 2 hours book time.

very simple, call the shop asking for a 4-wheel alignment for your 4runner. if they say ok, stay away. it's a sign of a good shop if they say they only do 2 wheel alignment on your vehicle because it's only 2 wheel adjustable. that's how i found my shop.
