What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Are you hoping to add a 2" lift with the shocks, or do you already have a 2" lift and just replacing the shocks??

Springs hold the vehicle up and the shocks hold the tire down, putting it loosely, meaning just adding shocks will not give you a lift, that is the job of the springs.. Yes pressurized shocks will indeed add a little height, but if you add a 2" longer shock to an otherwise stock suspension then you take a risk of bottoming out the shocks before the bump stop and damaging them beyond repair...

Another words, the shocks and springs need to match...
Also remember, the parts guy is just a salesman and normally not very technical, whereas the mechanic does this and knows what is required to do the job...

 

These are 5100s with less clip settings in the front, and some stickers. Check the price of 5100s likely cheaper unless youre also going for the look.

 

I assume? I was late to post this as I actually did it back in November but haven’t been on the forum much.

 

Haha, this is after hours at the school I work at. The dumpster is emptied on weekdays so I was good to go.

 

I love the red grill emblem, does it interfere with the TSS??

And do you have a link or remember where you got it??

BTW, Bad Ass looking truck!!!...

 

Hey its all good man, Just goofing with you. It is a nice looking truck. Cheers.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

No, I do not have a 2" lift. I was researching the Bilstein 5100 Leveling Kit and it uses the OEM spring.

Figured this kit from dealership does the same.

If I need to get matching springs, I'll order them through the dealership.

Bottom line, I'll be doing this purchase through the dealership after getting all the particulars and confirming 2" factory setting on the TRD Shocks.

Dealership will be doing the install.

If there are any issues, I'll take it back to the dealership for follow-up maintenance.

 

2017 doesn't have TSS...2018 and up

 

I'd recommend 2020+ oem leds or these...

I went from the factory 25mm offset to a 4mm offset, essentially moving the wheels out 0.90 of an inch and haven't experienced any issues on tight (steering wheel lock) turns thus far. It's not a big difference but the look is great bringing the wheels/tire out even with the fender.

 

Not bad. Mine is like half inch out of the flare line.

When I get the AT tires, they probably bit bigger than the ones I have now which they will look better when I get them on. I plan to have them on within a month or two. I will post pics with new tires on my thread soon.

 

If he isn’t, I’ve got a second one for sale.

 

@Puppypunter is still making them. Dave is not.

 

Thanks. The grill emblem is OEM. I plasti dipped it red.

 

Gave her a wash after removing the TRD OR stickers

 

Swapped in a CarPlay unit from a 2020, relocated the CarPlay USB to the center console, and swapped the (3) switch panel from my 2016 to a newer version. Waiting on a dual USB port and need to wrap up the heated seat wiring.

 

I am. Shoot me a PM if interested

 

SEMA 4Runner wheels?

 

You don't need new coils. These are specifically designed to use the stock coils as a matter of fact.

 

yes I believe they are ...
