So I started to build my 5th Gen 4Runner

So I picked up this 2005 4Runner with only 71,000 miles. Picked up Bilstein 5100's thinking I'd level it out because the front end was down significantly lower than the front. Brought it to my mechanic and he changed out my rear shocks but said "you have to replace the coil springs and shocks because there is so much rust I have to cut all the bolts to remove the springs and your springs are in terrible shape." Then I ordered some OME 2884's thinking I'd get the 1.5-1.75" I need to level it. Picked it up today and the front end looks amazing but the back end is sitting about 1.5" lower. Dang, now I have to buy springs for the rear. Also installed LED lighting in all interior lights which I love, and centric hp rotors and ceramic brake pads on the rear. Getting to be a nice ride. I'll get her right yet. Forgot to mention that the "new" Chinese tires that came on it weren't round so I bought a set of Kuhmo Road Venture A/T's but stuck with 265/70/r17's... I really like them, has anyone else run them?

 

Hey man, you've achieved a Carolina Squat. +1000 Bro-stars for you.

 

Is the 5th gen sitting behind that 4th gen?
