looking to lift my 4 banger and make it semi trail/ campable

need some advice on a good setup specifically for adding around 650-700 lbs. of constant weight. any suggestions? im glad i found the 4 banger forum. TIA

 

700 hundred pounds of gear might be a bit much for a 4 cylinder and a lift basically just allows you to run larger tires which, if you did, would bog your engine down even more. Keep it stock and add a lightweight camper top with a cot inside and some decent tires. Good luck.

 

This. I don’t plan on increasing the tire size cause I don’t wanna drag ass in traffic.

 

I've carted my honda foreman 500 in the bed for the past 3 years. It weighs 500 lbs and I freight more gear ontop of that as well. She does just fine. Now if I added aftermarket headers and a suspension lift she'd prob do it even easier. I'm not looking to go 80. I'm looking to be capable with the least amount of weight.

 

Regear and air bags if your sagging a lot. Helped my 5 lug, my newer 6L I dont think needs them, but its regeared to 5.29 (auto) just for street driving with 31"s.

My 5 lug manual liked 4.10 on the stock tires, 4.88 with 31" and again, street driven.

 

I run a dakar heavy duty pack which is rated for 600 lbs i believe but they get squeaky when dusty I recommend a custom leaf pack by Deaver or the like

 

I was leaning towards deavers for sure. what are you running for shocks and coils?

 

Bilstein 6112 5160s

 

Love the setup! Single cab is so compact, and the all black-gray looks great. What size tires? Are those wildpeaks?

 

I recommend Dobinsons leafs and whatever front lift you choose.

 

I second the above. ^

Just curious, where's the constant weight distributed?

Goingout on a limb here, but @ARCHIVE hammer hangers, @Crikeymike Dobinsons 111 leafs, and MRA 352 coilovers. possibly, airbags in the rear. 4:88 or equivalent type gears GL!

 

Thank you and yes sir they're the wildpeaks 265 70 17 on 4runner pro wheels e rated
