3rd Gen Suspension Lift - MEGA THREAD

Looks good! Did you keep the factory shocks in the back and just add the spring?

 

MT64 shocks in the back too. OME just didn't have a 1" spring option that I found.

 

@NMTIM would love to know how the ride compares to stock. I had OME on an old 4Runner and liked them. My goal is more plush (vs firm) relative to the tundras TRD OR Bilsteins

 

Definitely more plush and composed than stock. I haven’t had the truck that long but there are some crappy sections of road near my house that I gas through now instead of coast through. I still haven’t had it on wash board but I have a feeling it will be way better. I still haven’t figured out what I want to do with the front sway bar so there is a small amount more of body roll. I have the TRD skid plate so I don’t want to lose the ground clearance I just gained. Stock sway bar set up seems to be working ok.

 

Nice

 

2024 SR5 4x4 with 35" Falken AT4s, Eibach stage 2R, and JBA HD UCAs. Went with Yotamafia extended brake lines, but kept it at 2.5" in the front, so still running the black axles. I have silvers on backorder, so if these break, I've got backups.

Just had a C4 Fab Overland bumper installed as well. I'm guessing I lost about a half inch of lift from the extra weight, but it feels like it's sprung fine for it still. Handing is great, tracks straight, and the ride is greatly improved. I don't get the vibrations and jitters I used to get on the freeway.

 

Build thread or IG?

 

Has anyone had problems with tie rods after lifting? The TRD kit has the sleeves but their about $350 for 2. I plan on running 35s, very very little minor offroading. I do tow a 7K travel trailer and it makes me wonder how much stress will be on the tie rod since the front axle is already heavy.

 

Neither. Just a whole lot of trashing on the truck. Available for any questions though

 

Wheel and tire set up / specs please?

 

Icon 3.0 shocks. 3 inch front .75 rear coils. 37 inch coopers on 17 rrw rr7h wheels

 

What kind of trimming you do to clear, how much rub still happened offroad?

 

Looks good. Question for ya, is the P/N on the Dobinsons rear coils c59-835v? If so, do you know the centre hub to bottom of fender measurement?

 

Chopped frame horn. Pinned liner back, cut a little bit out of the active air dam. As far as trimming goes, about the easiest truck. Zero rubbing off road or otherwise

 

Any mods to the rear track bar?

 

Thought about the drkss but havent found a need with the minimal lift. 35 inch spare clears too.
