Put my lift on and got some new shoes! w/ pics

Finally finished getting all of my lift parts collected last week and got around to putting everything on yesterday. Heres what went on.

Front:
HD black tokicos
TRD Tundra coils
ToyTec top outs

Rear:
OME n86's
OME 890's
ToyTec panhard drop bracket.

Tires:
265/75r16 Cooper Discover S/T


Before with stock supension and 265/75 mud rovers:


After:








The tires ended up having a much beefier tread then I thought they had, which is perfectly fine with me.

I HATE white letter tires out on a 4Runner.

Looks great...I just put 890s in the rear of mine too. Did you put the cones back in on the rear end?

Right now I'm sitting at 38" from ground to fender on the rear and about 37.25" in the front.

I have a 1" spacer up front at the moment with HD Bils and am considering the Tundra coils but I like the slightly raked look so I don't want to put the Tundras up front and "level it" or decrease the rake.

I love your runner though...that 2 tone color combo has always been my favorite.

Good looking rig and nicely modded. I really don't mind white letters out though.

Leaks were from the 2nd gen I had...bad valve cover gaskets. I pressured washed it just to get the oil off but I haven't had time to hit it with stain remover yet.

I did put the cones back in with the 890's. Im pretty much the exact same on the fender to ground distances, but I'm expecting the 890's to settle a little bit.

You could probably probaly still get the rake look you want with tundra coils by not adding a top out spacer.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Took some measurements before and after (center of wheel to center of frnder), here's what I got:
left front 20.5 to 22.75
right front 20.25 to 22.5
left rear 20 to 23.25
right rear 20 to 23.25

After the lift and tires the rear is sitting at 38" from the center of the fender to the ground and the front is at 37.25. Didn't get any before measurments on that.

nice looking rig. Huge improvement over stock. I usually don't mind the white letters out, but I think the black lettering looks much better on your 4runner.

Haven't done any in a while...really not since I got my runner. I used to do blackwater and canoe creek a bunch when I had my Taco.
