Got my 1” Body Lift installed a couple weeks ago. Purchased the steering extension from 4Crawler Off Road.

I also took a page out of Steve’s book at Sonoran Steel and installed a set of rear fender liners to cover the gap created by the BL . I then sprayed undercoating over the liners and the wheel wells to make every thing blend together. More info on what Steve did can be found here: Click Me.

I’m very pleased with the overall results of the BL and Fender Liners . Pictures below:

Here’s some info on the rear fender liners that I used to cover the gap created by the BL:

- Wheel House Seals (2), Part No. 65675-89111
- Clips (9), Part No. 90467-A0003

These Liners have 5 holes in each. I had to create an extra hole on the passenger side fender…so I used a total of 6 clips on that one. However, for the driver side fender, I only used 3 clips. I used 2 existing clips that hold the gas tank filler cover to the body.

looks great, your 4runner gets better and bigger looking every time i see it.

 

Looks awesome!!

 

Nice job man, but did you really need the steering extension? Just wondering cuz altough my truck is a 1st gen, I didn't use an extension for my 1" BL.

 

Ditto on what Sloan said...

How long did it take to install? and did you need anything unusual (toolwise)?

 

looks awesome! but x3 on the steering extension. I put on a 1" from 4crawler and had no need for one although i do have a 2nd gen.

 

On his website only 3rd gen's (and newer) call for an extention with a 1" BL. I got one with the kit I ordered last year from 4Crawler. Easy Install!

The Lift looks great RockSlide. Nice Rig!

 

and whats with the liners???

 

I think the liners are just to keep it looking pretty in there...GREAT idea, IMHO...less dirty stuff showing

 

The gap with the bumper doesn't look bad either, I was a bit worried but looks fine. I have a T15 for my 96 T4R so I wasn't sure about the 1" BL but now I am. Do you have a suspension lift as well and if so what are you running?

 

how much did the 1 inch body lift cost? how much does it usually run to have them installed too? i have been debating about a very small lift like a body lift. i wonder if they make a 1/2 inch body lift lol.. the only reason why i want one is so that my 265/75/16's wont rub at full flex and the wheel turned.

 

yea gap guards always make stuff with body lift look ten times better IMO, i had a friend with a tahoe with 2 inch body and the gap was terrible.

the only think you need now for your truck rock is to get rid of that ugly auburn sticker and tag on the back and you'll be good

 

My 1" lift cost me $95 from 4crawler. Install it yourself it's easy and you get good knowledge. Also, you put it on so you'll feel better about it and the best part, IT'S FREE!

 

and the front! Hard to believe a barner's truck could look so good! j/k Nice job man!

 

looks good! are any of your harnesses stretched bad? i was wanting to try the same setup but i have an automatic and was woried about levers and brackets being to far streched.

 

if you have any tools it's pretty cheap to make the lift yourself. i think i spent about $20 on UHMW, and maybe an hour on the jigs to slice and drill it.

dangit, i had a pic of all my pucks but i have no idea where it is. oh well, they look identical to all the other ones :d

 

looks really good man, the gap between the bumper and the rest of the body is not bad either which is a plus!

 

very clean runner!

 

i've been considering the 1" BL for a lil time now, but with my new ARB it sits so nice flush... i feel like i don't want to ruin that, how are you dealing with it? or are you just over it.. hah... i have 275/70/16 and still rubs with my SAWs... dunnno so i wanted to get a 33" mud tire, and i figured a 1"BL would give it just enough room to be happy... anywho looksgood!

 

Looks good.
