Northern Virginia Roll Call

This can go downhill quickly lol

 

Ha for real? I assume they might have the same ride quality as what you currently have? Atleast that install would be pretty easy to swap out though.

I mean for $1250 shipped, I can get the full Toytec Boss lift... the cheapest Icon kit (not even a full lift, just front coilovers and rear shocks, is $1500.... plus I'd have to spend another $100 on an AAL and $30 on a diff drop

 

Or uphill. It's all perspective really.

 

No diff drop

 

What does $1250 include?

 

front coilovers, rear shocks, AAL, diff drop

 

Dude I say go ahead with your spacer idea in the interim. In the big picture with suspension, I would hold off until a meet of some sort and ride in some other folks vehicles. You might be surprised at how much you value good suspension after testing some out. We could easily make a weekend wheeling trip at some place close like petersmill with them opening back up and then you can see what capabilities you might want to invest in.

why no diff drop? I have run a diff drop on every single Toyota that I've lifted and never had a problem.. and I like my CV angles better as well

 

You need to checkout @HeadStrong Off-Road . For 350 more you could get UCAs and a full leaf pack and that's with the front shocks assembled.

 

that might not be a bad idea... SO MANY OPTIONS!!!!!!

I miss the old days where there were like 4 companies that made lift kits.

 

@TacoCat, do you have these front coils? If so, you might be able to shed some light here...

what suspension? Bilstein?

 

diff drops are a good idea. also the suspension you posted rides pretty nice an is a good system

 

Since you live by a few people already, I have no problem rolling up your way on a weekend just to add mine to the mix so you can get a good all around test on what you might be interested in. Amongst many of us, I think we got all of the suspension systems pretty much covered.

Yes. Adjustable 5100s in front, extended travel 5100s in back.

 

You can just do the boot slide mod so they wont rub

 

Yea I have the Toytec Ultimate lift kit on my 4Runner... which has Bilstein 5100 series front shocks and Toytec 521600 front lift coils and I have been pretty happy with them....

 

I dont want aftermarket UCAs, I have heard horror stories with alignments not keeping etc... and honestly, I dont think I need them... not to fit 285s and for some weekend off roading

 

Horror stories? What UCAs were mentioned?
