Pics of my new lift

[Bandit Runner]

Well, since I haven't posted here in a while, I thought I'd share my latest pics of my truck. I had to go the cheap route for now, with OME 890's in the rear and Daystar 2.5" spacers in the front. Soon I hope to replace with SS 1.2 lift. I got just over 3" in the rear. I was a little disappointed with the front as I only got 1.875" lift. But overall it looks a lot better, because the rear was sagging pretty good before, and now the rear is about 1/2" higher than the front.

Install was more difficult than I thought. Thank goodness my neighbor had tools, knowledge, and experience. We tried compressing the front springs, but gave up and I ended up taking them to Midas to assemble the fronts. 40 bucks was well worth it! We also broke a couple of the stock skid plate bolts. The rear wasn't too bad. After about 8 hours, including running to Midas, we were done.

Anyway, here's the pics:

love the black 4runners! yea having a shop assemble the shocks is money well spent haha. i tryed at first on my own...you feel like EOD when you are cranking the spring compressor down and i still failed lol

Did you put those sliders on after the body lift?

[boogyman]

looks nice. I think the front is at a good height.

Thanks for all the kind words. To answer a few questions:

The ride quality doesn't feel really any different than before - no better, no worse.

The mudflaps were some generic truck/SUV ones from AdvanceAuto, I think I paid like $10.

Yes, I put the sliders on after the 1.5" body lift.

Thanks,

Bandit Runner

Those are nice rock slider tubes or nerf bars, if thats the correct term. What brand is it? Does it bolt to the factory runnig board locations?

[Lee]

theyre called 'rock sliders' and they are welded to the frame (or sometimes bolted, most of the time welded).

you can find them at a lot of offroad stores, like trail gear for example.

Thanks, they are 4xInnovation rock sliders that I had customized. I inserted diamond plate into the openings. Here is a build-up link with more pics of them:

As Lee said, they are welded directly to the frame. Let me know if you have any more questions.
