I think wheelersoffroad.com has a lot of stuff. You can contact that guy with anything you're looking for and he can get it. Good guy, and recommended.

i don't know about their reputation, to be honest. i haven't ordered any parts for my 4runner in a few months I'm broke, i know their website has been around since iv had my 4runner around 2005ish, they do have a good price on air lockers hopefully someone has dealt with them before.

Looks like you've got the OME rear springs and the shocks. Did you order it from them? How do you like them? If you've got any pics of your set up I'd like to see them.

I'd really like to get the whole kit. I need the torsion bars and the steering dampener and those other little things.

I didn't see anything for older 4runners....that's probably part of the problem.

Before:





After:




this is Dakar rear springs, BJ spacers, OME shocks and Steering stabilizer. I don't have the T-Bars yet, but I'll be going with them after I get my front bumper built and the winch installed. Witht the lift, the ride quality is AWSOME, and the ammount of lift is IMO just perfect for 33's (still deciding on which tires to run). Best of all, loaded down the thing feels amazing.

So are those 33's or 31's?

I just got two more of the 31's I already had because one had an old tire and the other one was shredded. I just don't want it to be too high.

i think the best way to do it is at a off road shop of you are not planning on puttin it on yourself and most will price match any online offer... imo

Yea, I think I'm gonna try to check at the local shop this weekend and see if and what kind of prices I'll be looking at.

I won't be doing the install, so it makes sense.

I could do the shocks, and probably the leaf springs, and the steering dampener. but the T-bars I wouldn't want to tackle.

Thats good to know. If they were 33's I would have known the set up wasn't gonna work for me.

It really doesn't look a lot taller than mine, and while I think even my tires seem kinda small, it doesn't look bad.

If there were more tires in 33x10.50 I'd go with them on down the line. I can't afford to do gears and lockers right now so I just stuck with 31's for the time being, and they'll look alright with the new set up. if i decide to buy it. Gotta make sure it's not gonna cost more than I have.

Got mine from them. Seemed reasonable.
