SteveO's 4Runner has been Slammed!

[SteveO]

After nearly two years of tweaking and modifying, I have come to a point where the suspension is pretty much set.

When I first rolled the beast out of the garage, it was really BIG.

I have since changed out the shocks, adjusted the pressure, and I have a awesome car-like ride on this flexy beast. Here are some before, after and "the difference" shots.


BEFORE, or
just after the SAS and after nearly 2 years


Here is the difference between the two:



What the steering links look like:

wow. 8" of drop. i'll bet that feels extremely different...

[SteveO]

Yeah, it doesn't lean as much in the corners. When the guy at 4Wheel parts put in my commuter tires (before the drop) he was a bit spooked taking a corner into the front 4Wheelparts parking lot. It really does ride like a car. I rode in my wife's '06 Civic, and could feel every bump in the road. In the 4Runner I don't feel every bump.

Wow, that thing is tall.....even after you "slammed" it.

With 35" tires, I can get into a 7' garage.
With 37" tires, I need to throw a few sand bags in the back to get into the 7' garage.

I suppose the whole reason people lift vehicles is to run larger tires. I'm happy to bring it down a bit, and still run larger tires. The Fender trimming really helped.

are you serious? i can barely fit in a 7' garage with my 33s. damn i neeed to lower mine a bit

[jimbo74]

it actually looks a lot better lower than the picture o nthe left.... just looks liek a mall rat in the picture on the left

[SteveO]

Yeah, I'm serious. Just to make sure, I went out and measured the garage entrance. It measures 6'11", to be exact. I creeep in very slowly.

Looks like a Mall Rat......for comparison, got any pics of an official Mall Rat?
