    I swapped to OME HD springs and bilstiens and the nose diving was drastically improved. Hitting the brakes REALLY hard it still does it but it doesn't do a hand stand practically anymore.

    Yep! Just swapping to Billie 5100s and leveling the truck makes a HYOOGE difference on mine.

    Though, I've only done the 1.75" Front / 1" spacer rear in mine so far due to budget. Armor is priority - sliders already ordered, skids next...then once I can afford 285's...up to 3" and the OME springs. Then maybe I can try to follow you down some trails, haha. Love your build btw...totally legit 4Runner!

    Seeing it makes me want to get mine all :militarypress: $$$$$, tho! :evil: . I definitely have goals now!

    Thanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out. I plan on doing UCA's, a winch and a high clearance rear and then I'll probably be done for a little while. I'm also considering vinyl wrapping it OD Green or Matte Black but the cosmetic stuff is secondary. I want it to be functional and as well protected as I can get it for the trails first.

    If you're not in any of the T4R Facebook groups I would look around and join them because I've lucked into good deals on a few things used(tires and bumper)on there. I'm also lucky my boyfriend has a 3rd gen T4R and supports my build(on the Runner and the Cadillac)and bought me suspension for last Christmas. I bought him the sliders he wanted though too so I guess he's pretty lucky himself.
