Just wanted to share my experience with everyone. I ordered my body lift from 4crawler and I am very happy with the results. Install was very smooth with the correct tools. One thing to look out for is ensuring that all of the body bolts are loosened up enough before trying to jack up a side. Might want to spray them down with some PB Blaster the night before, too. Well, on to the pics...

Before:




And After:






And just for fun, here's an interesting pic of the STi...

 

Looks just like my 4Runner. Nice job, how long did it take you? Did you rub before the BL with the 285s?

 

Install took about 2 hours. No rubbing before the BL. I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your Pro Comp 285's when you get em' on.

 

Wow, I didn't realize that a one-inch body lift could make that much of a difference in looks...good job.

 

those pics look great..what kinda camera do you have?

nice 4runner and sti also

 

your 4runner and stretchASU almost look exactly alike!!! dead on almost

very nice

 

89macrunner: The before shots were shot with my old canon 8.1mp s80 point and shoot. After pics were taken with my new Sony a100 DSLR. I am still very much a newb at photography, though. Thanks for the compliments!

neliconcept: Wow, they really do look alike.

 

It looks like it only jacked the rear up from my perspective, truck looks beautiful though.

 

wow amazing what a 1" body lift can do!

 

sssssssssssssssssexay! i'm getting my 2" on in a week or so, can't wait now!

 

mmmmm thats a sexy subaru

 

Thats my favorite

 

Matthew,
Great lookin Runner!
Quick question for ya though.
What suspension lift did you have on there with the 285's and stock wheels prior to the BL?

Thanks a million, I'm fixin to susp. lift mine this summer but want to keep my stock wheels with 285's also. (same wheels as yours)

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

DSN46: Prior to the BL I just had Fabtech coilovers in the front and LC coils in the back. If you search some of my other posts you'll find some pics of a-arm clearance and ground clearance. I have no idea why 285's will fit some 4runners without rubbing and not others, but good luck. They'll look great!

 

Thanks Matthew.

hey how much did you pay for the coilovers, did you buy them alone or with a system?

 

LOOKS AWSOME! You are my twin. I just need the BL now.

I purchased the vehicle with the suspension lift in place. My rear shocks are also Fabtech's so it seems as though the coilovers were part of a system. I really haven't been able to find much info on these specific coilovers/lift combo on here.

 

Looks great!

 

Nice 4Runner bro...sweet camera too!

Looks like the 1" BL worked out nice for you . 4Runner continues to look sharp.
