With 37s on it?
You getting a raptor now?

 

Just put 37s and 4runner parts on your Tacoma
And raptor parts @Bandido

 

I measured up the front end... +2LT and a little massaging the coil bucket... would fit.

TBH probably easier on 2nd/3rd gens in every way

 

New here, new wheels, GO VOLS

 

Except I don't have a Tacoma.
And my wife has a 4Runner already.

 

What can I do to improve ride quality?

 

What is ride quality issue you want to address?

 

Just smoother? There’s almost 100k on these shocks. I’d like to lift it about an inch and have a smoother ride

 

What load rating are tires and what air pressure?
How long since tires were balanced?

I suggest ruling out tire conditions before stepping into the wide world of suspension.

 

just had discount install them last weekend, 265/75 bfg ko2s, e rated I believe. I guess they didn’t balance them right? I get vibration around 75 and my passenger seat wiggles

 

I'm so sorry for you.... ROLL TIDE.

 

I’ll buy your sliders if their bolt on

 

You aren't far off. It's back on 35s now though.

They are not, but I'll make you a great deal on them. $40,000 for the sliders, but you get a free 4Runner with bumpers, suspension, skids, 35s, and all kinds of other cool shit.

 

If it doesn't shake until 75, it's not that bad. E rated is a heavy tire.
See if the tire pressure is high. Drop to about 35 and see how it rides?
A better balance might help, might not.

 

Local dealer has a tundra with $20k added for accessories.
*Aftermarket steel bumpers & skid. Lights are crooked in bumper and skid is a joke. Skid looks like 1/8 steel with crap welds on the mounting tabs. Tabs have no boxing or gussets. Likely fold over on first hit.
*20" rims & 35s.
*Big light bar.
*Lift. (spacers/blocks)

LOL. Parts were only about $6k from what i can tell if they paid retail.

Spacer lift reused all oem suspension. Check out this part so they could reuse rear shock with the big block on the axle.

 

Had them rebalanced and still get a shake at 75, more so in turns on the interstate. What would be considered high pressure?

 

I always run about 35 psi. Tire shop (Disc. Tire) once put them at 45 and it rode really rough. But i have always ran load C or passenger tires. E is a stiffer tire. Other guys here might have advice on that.

It could be worn shocks if you think tires are in good shape.

Hate to see you get new shocks and still ride rough is why i suggested checking tires first.

Edit: vibration on turns at highway speed might be an early sign of wheel bearing. You got 100k miles on it you said? My prerunner had one go out a bit over 100k. Had a light vibration only at highway speeds sometimes.

Let some other guys chime in though before you start to worry about that.

 

possible high road force in tires, tire pressure, worn shocks, worn bushings, worn wheel bearing, worn tie rod ends can all contribute to a vibration/rough ride (air pressure not for vibes). play with air pressure. also, jack the front end up and check for play in suspension components.

 

I made some of those so I could retrofit my Bilsteins when my Fox blew out lol

 

Yeah, but your's are legit and can hold up to wheeling.
