Did my 4th Gen Daystar lift
Did my lift on my 4th Gen with XREAS this afternoon/evening. Took about 10 hours (including going to get some tools) to do the front and back. I will post a good writeup and pics sometime this weekend. Can say axles work much easier that IFS, so all you axle biggets you are right.
I got 2.5" in the front and 1.75" in the back (spacer were supposed to give 2.5" front and 2" back), I'm happy as it did level out the Runner nicely.
So fender measurements:
Before
Front 33.5"
Rear 35.75"
After
Front 36"
Rear 37.5
I'm happy so time for those new Revos
SPot the difference
PS: Special thanks to 4route learned a lot from her mistakes , also to Good Times and Biff, their advice and pix helped a lot to understand what needed to be done.

Thanx, your experience helped plenty.
I didn't have a 17 and 19 wrench in my toolbox :pat: Couldn't believe it when I looked and wanted to work on a Japanese truck

Enjoyin it so far, feels the same when driving (took it for a quick spin tonight). It might just be my imagination but it sound like there is slighty more road noise in the back now. The rest feels the same, but will see in the next week or so.
Need to take it tomorrow for alignment and start looking for 265/70/17 Revo's

He'll prob post up some photos of his new happily lifted 4runner!

SD4Runner ... I'm sorry I wasn't there when you called! I wanted to call back but by the time I got your message (I went to play guitar with a friend and left my phone at home by mistake) it was around 6pm. If there's anything I can still help with, just let me know - I have a lot of homework to do, so I will be at home a lot and have my phone with me.

The only difference is the placement of the front spacers. We also had to replace the rear shock.
The body metalwork didn't give us much room to work with in tightenting the shock upper bolts. We managed it with a little patience, but wouldn't want to deal with it again (right biff and goodtimes?)
