Daystar, Toyota 4Runner 1" Leveling Kit, fits 2003 to 2009 2/4WD, all transmissions, all cabs KT09117BK, Made in America, Black

THIS HEIGHTENS YOUR TRUCK BY 2 INCHES, NOT 1 INCHES. br>br>While it's common knowledge in the lift kit industry that the spacer yields roughly double its thickness in lift (in IFS), Daystar leaves it up to the customer to figure out. br>Honestly, the difference between 1" and 2" isn't that significant if you're just leveling and installing this kit, but some of us are looking for short spacers to top off lift springs, and where 1" would suffice, adding 2" would cause issues. Instead, I went to Low Range Offroad and ordered some properly spec'd spacers.

system of reas My truck's front end was raised by about 1 inch thanks to this kit. 5" without jeopardizing the stock (X- X- X- X- X- X Suspension of Reas). br>Installation was a little tricky, but a few YTube videos helped. Having a second person on hand was also extremely beneficial. I didn't want to have to disconnect the stock shock lines, and these spacers fit without dismantlingbr>that system completely.

With some basic tools, I installed on a 2007 4runner sport v8 in a few hours in my driveway. You'll need a breaker bar to remove the ball joint nut and bottom strut bolt, as well as ratcheting wrenches to remove the three nuts on the top of the strut. You do not need to disconnect the xreas line from the shock. The spacer sits on top of the strut, so you don't need a spring compressor.

I ordered this and it arrived on time as promised, but I thought it was the wrong part, so I returned it and ordered another, which was exactly the same. I went to the Daystar website to double-check that it was the wrong part, and sure enough, the part number was different. I sent it back and was given a complete refund. I visited a local four-wheel-drive shop and spoke with the employees. They had it, but it didn't look the same, so the rep called Daystar, who confirmed that it was the correct kit, but that it had been redesigned and that their website had not been updated. The kit should be installed by two people. I was pretty tired by the time I finished 4 hours, so having a second pair of hands would have been extremely beneficial. It's also a good idea to chase all of the studs and clean up the threads.

It's very simple if you have all of the necessary tools. In the garage, it was a good mother-son bonding experience. It increased the height of the front by 2 inches. We raised it 4" in the front using new upper control arms and knuckles. It looks fantastic.

The lift is 2". On my fourth generation (2004), I used springs from an 18 OffRoad 4runner. When I replaced my XREAS suspension with newer takeoff shocks and springs and added the spacer, I gained 4 inches.

It's in my wife's 2009 4Runner, and it's just what she needed. It now appears that Toyota should have built it from the start. Another advantage is that I was able to keep the factory cross link hydraulic suspension system, which would have been lost if I had used "adjustable" struts from Bilstein or Eibach.

It went on fairly easily, and the step-by-step instructions made it simple to see what needed to be unhooked rather than loosening things that weren't necessary.
