Hey heres my truck after being lifted. Its aprox a 1'' lift, not much but I cant see why I would need much more. I went were my friends F-150 couldnt go with ease. Its an Eibach Pro kit and I just turned the torsion bars up a little. The wheel well clearance is with 32x11.50 tires.








Sorry for so many pictures but I love my truck :-D And yes thats my RX-7 in the backround

 

Nice start to your 4Runner build-up!!

Yes a even stock 4runner with good tires can do really well off-road!!
Keep us posted with your build up!!

 

Nice. My truck should have about the same stance by next weekend. (1.5" shackles/t-bar) Now take off those running boards.

 

Yah I thought about removing the running boards, But the other ones I see in town you can see the tranny/transfer case and all that junk hanging down. Id rather loose 3/4'' off clearence and look good doing it lol. Im thinking about getting some 1.5'' spring spacers and the ball joint lift. Is this a good idea or not, Ive heard that you might have to drop the front diff with the balljoint spacers? One more thing; After turning up my t-bars it seems to be really jerky, If im turning and hitting a bump it turns a lot harder and bounces around. Gets a little scary on the highway.

 

I would go get an alignment, that should take care of the squirely front end. After i did my ball joint spacers (and slightly lowered t-bars) my front tires were noticably off (not sitting square on the ground \ / vs | |) when looking straight at it.

The Runner looks good, bet it feels a lot better having a it sit a little higher than all the other Runners out there.

 

Yah I like where it sits, and thank you. I had it aligned twice now. Im going to go back and complain about it soon. They said my wheel bearing sare going out though so that will throw it out of alignment a lot faster. So if they really are time for AISINs heh.

 

nice runner, whats with the missing holes on the back?

EDIT: I saw your thread about the holes, nevermind.

 

More like 4" of clearance! Truck looks good though. I just recently took my boards off, because I was starting to hit them. I didn't care about hurting the boards, but I have seen some nasty pictures where they get bent up and into the doors and do worse damage.
