well guys, having and being on yotatech for about a year, i have finally lifted my 4Runner!!!!

i went with 2 1996 landcruiser coils in the back (one longer than the other) and ball joint spacers and torsion bars adjustment in the front.

i also ended up getting new wheels do to the rubbing problem experienced by other people with the stock steel wheels and the ball joint spacers.

some of the pics include the pan hard drop bracket that my dad made for me based off of the downey one that WSU4Runner let me borrow

feel free to ask me any questions

and thanks to MadChemist (david) for letting me borrow the spring compressors. WSU4Runner (geoff) for letting me borrow the drop bracket. WaterBoy (jesse) for helping out with the ball joint spacer install. SMR4Runner (mike) for the power bleeder. and my 3 other friends who helped me out throughout the weekend.

 

Looks awesome Kevin! Congrats!

 

Looks really good! I like the new wheels!

 

Doh the site is blocked here at work. Guess I'll have to wait till I get home.
Congrats on the lift Kev.
How did the Power Bleeder work for you?

 

wow... how much lift did that give you dood?

 

Booyah!
That looks a heck of a lot better now.
Your neck is going to get sore staring at when you're walking away now

 

Nice looking rig. I dig the new wheels. Black is the way to go :rock:!

 

thanks guys!! but when i was sitting at les schwab waiting for my alignment it dawned on me how much larger it is and my tires are too small!!!!! hopefully i'll get some 33's this summer some time.

i don't know exactly how much lift i got cause i didn't take before and after measurments. friday night when we started we were just like hey! lets put the lift on now and forgot to take pics and measurments. meh!

power bleeder was awsome mike thanks!!!

i'll be helping WSU4Runner put on the exact same lift this weekend, so i'll make sure to take measurements and stuff.

 

You need to ditch that stripe and get ya some 33's!

 

i like my stripe thank you very much!

 

You beat me to it...I was gonna say somethin about how small those tires looked on there. Even my old 31's looked small with a just 1" BL, if you got some 33's on there it would be killer!

I love my BFG M/T's...overall an AWESOME tire!

Hey Kev,
The lift looks great man. Feels great driving down the road sittin' higher doesn't it!
Wait till you get it out on the trail. You'll love it.

Mike

 

Congrads on the lift and new wheels/tires, when I got mine done it was a feeling like no other

I really like the black wheels on the white Runner

 

Truck looks great!! I have been itching to install my spacers for weeks now. I will have the same problem with the small tire issue. Unfortunatly I bought new tires just a few months ago.

 

Nice!

 

Looks great man. Do you have a part no. for those cruiser coils?

 

nope, no part # i just bought them used off ebay! but if you look around on different land cruiser sites, you can find them used for pretty cheap. just make sure they're FJ80 coils.

 

IT looks great man, Im jealous.

 

Looks like it's time for Tinkham I like it

 

yeah, i ordered my new shocks yesturday, so as soon as they come in, i wanna go to tinkham!!!!! but i don't know if i can make it up the hill climb with the snow left on it. hmmmmm too bad selectable lockers cost a lot. maybe later this summer for those.
