snwboarder919's 2002 4Runner Build-Up Thread

alright so after months and months of waiting i finally got the time, money, and a very generous friend to get my toytec lift on my 4Runner! This Toytec Ultimate lift kit consists of Bilstein 5100 front coilovers, OME 891 rear coils, rear Bilstein 5125 shocks, and a front diff drop kit.

Here are some pics from the install, enjoy and tell me what you think!

before


and after the install




heres a bunch of random pics during the installation


i kinda look stupid in this pic but what a difference! :jester:



heres the rear assembly

Looks great, don't you love that toytec top spacer?

A couple questons:

What made you go with the 891's?

Did you leave the trac bar connected when you installed the rear (it looks like it in the pics)?

Did you have to adjust the front coilovers? If so, were they hard to adjust? (Mine were a PITA to turn)

i didnt happen to get any pictures of the front diff drop but its pretty straight forward on installing it yourself

my friend talked me into the 891's by saying that they would sag overtime and when they do it will be the correct 3 inches they should be at. i dont really notice a difference in the ride so im good with them
if your talking about the pan hard bar then yes, we did keep it connected during the install, but we disconnected the rear sway bar during it so we could get the coils and the new shocks in.
and lastly i havent bothered to adjust them yet, i was hopefuly going to do that this weekend, but my friend has the same set up as me and he was tellin me his were pretty tough to tun also. he told me to put some WD40 on the threads like a day before i do it and just let it sit and soak in, and that should help out somewhat with adjusting them.
