    I gave up my Super White Tacoma PreRunner and decided to give it to my son (lucky kid) and opted for a new 2014 Super White 4Runner. Yours looks great, however, I'm curious as to why you have a vibration after you lifted yours. I lifted mine 3" using a ToyTec 3" spacer in the front and replacement lift coils in the rear and it rides perfect without vibration of any kind. Saying it's common seems odd because my lifted 2010 Tacoma (Toy Tec) doesn't vibrate either. I'm not promoting ToyTec but I've had terrific luck with the kits. Again, your 4Runner looks great, and good luck on getting that handled.

    Thanks, and I'm not sure why it's doing it either just between 25-30 mph I just can't track it down. You have an awesome ride there I'm digging your wheels, cause all I ever see is black wheels on the white ones. Looks great

    Unexcusable for a new new truck that they put a cheap lift on. Bring it back ,speak with the service manager and demand they fix it or remove the lift and credit you back the cost. I didn't realize putting bigger tires on will fix vibes:rolleyes:. Did they at least consider re-balancing the tires to eliminate that?

    I dropped the back down 1/2 inch and put my 5100's on today the vibe is gone now. Don't know if it was because the original 2" spacer or if dealer didn't install the tears righ? Anyway I let a local shop do it this time and she rides fine

    Glad to hear the vibration went away. Seems to have been something from the original install and possibly the balancing or alignment and not necessarily the height. Regardless, I'm sure you are happy now that it's smooth. Take care.
