What did you end up doing to get them back on?

Now off to go camping and find a trail or two.  :D

Yesterday my gramps (80 yrs old) and I started the transformation.  In 5 hours:

Replaced Alternator (was over charging)
Oil Change
Running Boards Removed
Removed Bumpers
2" Body Lift Installed



I took it to America's Tires afterward and they installed:

15 x 8" Steel Wheels
35 x 12.5" BFG KM2 (including spare)

I got SAW 2.0 coilovers and rear OME stuff at home ready to be installed!

1/2 body lift might work out well.  I did 1.25" on my 4runner (was ok).   

You'll like the bigger tires off road.  I just remember enjoying my 4runner more with the smalller tires.  Maybe proper gears and larger brakes would have changed my mind.  The important thing is to have fun.  Oh and don't tell your wife how much stuff costs.  Ignore

One of the reasons to do the BL is because the body just barley touches the sliders right now.  It makes noise when I drive.  I don't want to find out how that will play out off road.  So the i'd get the body up off the sliders a bit.  Also the front bumper is very close to to body also.  I was actually considering a 1/2" body lift just to resolve these two potential problems.   I don't think a 1/2" gap would look bad....


About the tires rubbing... I should have just listened to you and got the 265/75/16 but I had to get all ambitious and get the 255/85's!  :)

You should be able to get a full 3" lift.  I used the HD OME rear springs and got 3-3.5" lift.  The front coilovers are adjustable.  I thought mine rode best around 2-2.5" lift.  I put it up to about 3" with the 33s.

Keep posting the pictures!  Cyclops

Because I have the 99 longer springs.  Essentially my 4runner is already lifted 1.5" stock...

I'm sooo missing my truck.  Ignore
