The pics above are without the front top out spacers, if you add them, it's sits pretty level, but if sitting level is impotant to you, this is NOT your lift.

That would be System 7. Which will not perform as well off-road, but sits very level.

Hey Steve;

Thanks for all the help with the lift!! And I do have the Top out spacers in the front!! I like the 'rake' on the truck!! Awesome rear bumper clearance!!

here are some pics:

My honest oppinion is I wouldn't run 265/75s with that amount of lift in the rear... I would go tundra coils front and OMEs or somthing to that affect in the rear... I had 1"PP springs and 265/75 when I got the truck and that lookes good... but 3.5" in the rear is a lillte to tall for 265 IMHO.....

Hope this helps!

Here's my '02 SR5 with LC coils in the rear. BTW, it's got a Daystar 2.5" spacer lift up front. The LC coils gave me about 4" of lift when I started, but have since settled about .5" or so. The coils were new.

The rake is acceptable to me and I've had many comments on how great it looks now.

I realize this but am picking up a newer 4runner for a daily driver. So I am just asking how much something like this would cost, thanks.

The 305's fit well.... just had to trim the bumper flares on the inside bottom corner!! And I'm about to do the pinch weld on the back side of the wheel well!! then everything should clear!! But I think with a 1" body lift there will help that!! And can't froget I have 8" wide rims to handle the 12.5" Tire!!

If you need any pictures i'll be happy to take some for you!!

the spacer is the one that sonoran steel supplied, i believe that bamachem manufactures them, it looked to be about 5/8th inch thick.

I have 2 per side from SS with the diff drop, and its just fine! I eneded up with two 1/2" spacers and the rest of the SS lift works awesome.

I would not run two spacers as it is quite dangerous, the chances of pulling a cage out of the outter Cv is very likely. The only time this would not be dangerous is if you are running the shortest stock black shock. In that one and only situation it woild be fine.

You did get the spacers from me, but no one else will. I forward your order to Andy, so you paid me, I paid him and he sold them to you.

I can't sell just spacers or studs, that is the deal I have with Andy.

I have tube that goes into the end and hold the bushings. This will not be a problem in the future as I personally build the bars here now.
