Dude, that look really good! They must be 33s 'cause it looks like my lift:



Anyway, I found that the front tire rubs during articulation. A 2" BL will be coming soon and you'll probably head that way as well...

Great Job.

Hot!!....Looks just like my 4runner. I'm hoping to get some pics up soon, but I haven't gotten the tires on yet. I've also painted all the chrome black and it looks some much better. Good job.....you're 4runner looks sweet.

now you need to upgrade to some nice Warn manual hubs. gets you some good extra gas mileage too. highly recommend it. it will save you some cv boot repair money. best 150 bucks spent.

Dig the look. The colors really work well on your truck. The lift looks good too.

Hey thanks for all the great comments guys!!! Yea these are 33x12.5 R15's! I got the rear 3" lift from Downey and they included everything I needed to give me close to stock sus. geometery. Warn Hubs are next on my list and also 15% tint all the way around! Yea I can tell that I might be rubbing on full articulation but I don't know if I wanna run a 2" BL maybe a 1" but im not sure yet! I would rather get saw 25mm torsion bars and crank up a little bit before getting a BL anyday but I don't know what to do with the rear. After installing the BJ spacers I do notice the front end to be a bit more bouncy but its not even that bad. I had a previous tread when I painted my bumpers in the general topic section of this fourm. Search for, "Cheap Line-X look." I used 3m undercoating to paint my bumpers! These are the only pics that I have of my BJ spacers at the moment I'll take some more!!!

another question, do you rub up front when turning all the way? and what backspacing do you have on the rims? Just wondering becuase I still need to buy rims and tires, how much do they stick out of the sides of the fenders? I was thinking of getting 4 in backspacing...

I have the torsion bars at stock height they have never been adjusted well maybe for an alignment but thats it. My rims have a BS of 3.75" and no I don't rub on full lock turns! Right now with this setup, the front is just a bit higher than the rear!

I was expecting my 14" Magnflow muffler to be a little bit louder, but other than that I can feel the rumble at low rpms and I'm happy with it!!
