ROOFGOOFS 1999 4RUNNER lift thread

Ok, finally figured out how to post pictures correctly (Thanks FilthyRich)
Comments/Questions welcome.

Here are a few shots I took today. What you currently see is a 4Crawler 2inch BL with 265/75/16's.

I took some measurements today too (before the suspension lift)
I will add more once I get the thing lifted more.

Enjoy. Clicky to make the pics larger.

FRONT

BACK ( GOT SLIGHT SAG- SPEAKER BOX IN BACK)

The lift will comprise of 2.5 inch front Toytecs.
Rear 891's with N86...or LC Coils.
1 Inch Diff drop kit from 4Crawler.
285/75/16 tires on Rock Crawlers (black) 16x8's with 4.0inch backspacing. White letters IN.
(I am keeping my stock Limited wheels and 265's/75's for backup)

Already bought N86's 2 weeks ago. Thanks though.

I was hoping I would have my suspension lift on today, but my friend that works at a dealership can't do it tonight. Crap !!!

I appreciate the offer. It doesnt look like I will get my suspension lift on for a few weeks now (after the holidays)
I'm probally going to do the LC coils in the back now, instead of the 891's. I hate looking at my parts laying on my garage floor!

You must have a bit of sag cause I have no body lift on new OEM shocks and springs and I have 36" to fender up front and 36.5" out the rear.

Update Update Update !!!

Here we go.... With ALOT of help from a JEEP buddy with the perfect tools the lift is on.

Today: OME 891's with N86 rear shocks, 2.5 inch front Toytec front spacers, front 4Crawler differential drop kit AND custom made rubicon front disconnects made by my friend. A front OEM connector broke during the install and he took HIS diconnects off of HIS JEEP and cut them to size, redrilled and put them on my fronts which work great !!!

CV angles are great! No vibrations, and seems to run pretty much the same as I had stock. I plan on adding a panhard drop bar hopefully soon....I am broke and need tires and wheels yet.

Hope you like....more pictures to come. I started to storm outside now its SNOWING ! Pretty nuts.

Here is his ride... pretty cool.

Some cutting, grinding, and drilling and I got Custom Rubicon quick disconnects.


Check out my custom Rubicon quick disconnects.


ALL DONE..... Now, all I need is for a generous person to donate some wheels and tires to a poor blue collar worker



Alittle dirty, but my Jeep friend pulled it off... he also guides for JEEP and at Paragon. Thanks Stan !
