Very nice kit, 2015 Trail edition, which I installed in my driveway in about 2 hours with 5 wrenches and a jack. Fit 285/70R17 tires without issue, but I had to shave the inner fender a hair. Next to a stock trail, I'm showing a picture of mine with just this kit and larger tires. All of these photos were taken after the kit was installed.
This was a perfect fit for my Lexus GX460, which was manufactured in 2011. I liked how the bolt pattern stayed the same, which meant I didn't have to adjust the lower strut arm's rotation. Once I unbolted the front KDSS sway bar (there are two bolts on both sides), it was a breeze to install. Make sure you understand how to turn off the KDSS system near the driver's seat, which is located under the car. It's impossible to do with the sway bar in place, so after two hours of attempting to reinstall the longer strut, I unbolted the sway bar. If you don't, it'll be impossible to reinstall the lower strut bolt - Despite using a massive pry bar and a 240-pound man to lower everything. Remove the upper control arm (two bolts near the bottom, not the nuckle), the sway bar, and the longer strut will be installed. Make sure the axel system is secured to prevent it from popping out. To reinstall the KDSS sway bar, I used vice grips and ratchet straps. A hole and one on the arm it attaches to are located at the top of the sway bar brackets, allowing you to use a screw driver to torque the bracket around to line up and install the bolt. Vice grips with needle noses hold the top of the bracket together with a 1/2" gap so you can move it around to get that bolt in. Once I knew what I was doing and the sway bar was removed, the second strut/spacer took about an hour to install. Take a look at a few videos on YouTube. You don't have to strip down to your underwear, as some people do. When he Jacks up the rear right axel to lower the left to get it out, watch the YouTube video "ironman 4x4 foam cell pro suspension install Lexus gx460. " The back took about two hours. I used a floor jack to get the left side back in place for the bolt after installing the right side of the rear sway bar. br>br>Would buy again.
runner. I had a hard time getting the front strut out and back in, so make sure you disconnect the sway bar end links on both sides, which allows the bar to move out of the way. I think removing the tie rods would have been much easier, but I followed the instructions and left them in place. The upper ball joints are simple to install; simply smack the carrier part with a hammer really hard; there were no instructions for the rear ball joints, but they were simple to figure out. I only removed the shock bolt at the bottom and the sway bar at the top, and when the axle fell down, I used the vehicle bottle jack on the drivers side, positioning the jack on the axle and pushing up on the bump stop to provide the clearance I needed to remove the spring and replace it with a spacer. On the passenger side, the axle had sunk far enough that the bottle jack was unnecessary. Great job, kid; the car now appears to be in working order.
I got myself a 2019 SR5 4Runner and parked it in my driveway. The instructions that came with the spacers are nearly useless, and they don't even cover how to install the rear spacers. br>br>In order to figure out the front, I had to go to YouTube and watch a lot of videos. It took me 3 hours to finish the front after bumbling around and fighting the brake lines. It took less than an hour to complete the rear, and it was simple. br>br>It made me smile the first time I drove it; The ride is the same, but the increased height makes it feel more like a real rig. The 265/70R17s are currently in use, but the 285/70R17s are on their way. I'll be taking it to the dealer later today for an alignment, but it drives great and tracks straight without any adjustments so far. br>br>I heartily recommend this kit!.
So, my girlfriend owns a 2021 Toyota 4Runner Off Road Premium, and she absolutely adores it. She has been thinking about lifting it after seeing some decently lifted ones. She isn't a car person, but she does seem to enjoy lifted 4runners. br>br>We talk about the benefits and drawbacks of lifting, potential ride quality changes, road noise with knobbier tires, and possible trimming and cutting. She was still undecided as a result of this. br>br>In order to get a feel for the look and feel for her (without spending a lot of money), I decided to put this kit on. Add a 5" front and 2" rear lift, as well as 285 70 17-inch wheels. We won't be able to go more than 3" without deleting KDSS because she has it on her truck. br>br>As a result, the ride quality suffered a little bit with these on. A tad stiffer in the front and a tad stiffer in the back. The rears are stiff, especially if you hit a speed bump quickly. Apart from that, I don't have much to complain about. She is pleased with it as well. For us, the slight abrasion is well worth it. We intend to purchase an actual lift kit in the future, but these will suffice for the time being. It may or may not prematurely wear out some bushings in the future, but once the real kit is installed, all of them will be replaced. br>br>Having said that, I give this product a five-star rating. Again, it's not the most efficient way to lift a vehicle, but for the money, it's unbeatable.
On my 2014 4Runner Trail with KDSS and 285/70r17 Nitto tires, it was a breeze to install. This is an excellent appearance. Factory ride was kept up to date.
The installation instructions aren't as comprehensive as they could be. To get the coilover assembly to drop out so I could put the spacer on, I had to disconnect the steering rods, which was not mentioned in the instructions. It shouldn't be too difficult for you if you're mechanically inclined. The photos in the instructions were also largely ineffective. If you've driven a truck before, this shouldn't be too difficult. After the lift, I put on 285 Falken Wildpeak MT01 tires, which rubbed on the front bumper a little. To get rid of the rubbing, I had to trim the front bumper inside the fender about 1/4 inch. It turned out pretty well in the end.
