yes that is a downey sticker on the back! there was also one on teh front middle of the hood. that truck was way up there! It was a 4x4 also. I wanted to ask the owner about his truck and talk to him, but he was nowhere in sight. I saw the springs, they were black, but i think they were the downeys. i'm sure they ar as the stickers are all over his truck

it was. i think he raised both front and back the same, and since the rear is lower normally, it raised it proportionally

I'm surprised he didnt have anything bigger than 31's on there

That truck is way up there, huh? I don't really like the wheels though.

Did you notice how the front was lifted? New crossmember or new a-arms? Maybe the guy had a Trailmaster or Procomp suspension lift, and then he added the Downey stickers later. My Trailmaster coils were a dark, gunmetal gray. Seeing that 4Runner kinda reminds me of how my truck looked with the 4" Trailmaster lift and 31" tires.

P.S. I just noticed that he doesn't have manual hubs, so my bet is that he doesn't have a Downey lift.

I think you should have stuck a yotatech.com sticker on it.

I think it sits even, but the 2nd gens look lower in the rear, because the cut-out for the fender is higher in the front, one of those optical delusions....

I thought only the 1st gens front fender cut-out was higher.. hmm but after taking some measurments (not extremely accurate) seem you're right. I didn't know that.

That is a nice looking 4Runner anyway, even with 31's, I'm surprized. Bigger tires definately would do it good though.

looks like a 2nd gen with a 4" lift with 31". you can hardly see the drop brackets in front.
