True, but he's not particularly trying to lift... is he? I thought the point here was to correct sag and get back to stock height, which would not need extended anything. In fact, with the sag that's there it's possible his pan hard is pushing the axle to the driver side, no?
Ok, well there's that opinion, and then here's the other thinking. I ran ball joint spacers from 4crawler for over 3 years. I had no issues with alignment, and the only wear I had was my idler arm, which I had before the ball joint spacers. It was remedied with a idler arm brace, pretty simple...
No they didn't sag, I'm sure it takes years which is why they all look saggy now. I just went to the OME's cause I wanted extra lift (+1.5"). If I still had a 4Runner and needed spacers, I'd hit up 4Crawler here: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/CoilSpringSpacer.shtml. I know the site looks...
A new set of stock coils will get you out of the saggy butt mode. I went that route first when I bought my old '94, then I later ditched those and enjoyed the mild lift OME coils. I could be wrong but I believe 80 series coils will give you more lift than you want. I have to say though, there's...
Great looking truck, I really like how the bumper fits within the stock valance. It's hard to find one of these without that lower piece damaged or cut off, in my experience. I bet someone wants that bumper.
I hear you, that sure does look nice. I'm debating something else for when my treadwrights wear out, but the price is just so damn good I may go with another set.
That OME kit should work just fine, there's nothing to do with the steering but the steering stabilizer if you opt for it, but I'm guessing it just goes on reversed and would work as expected. I was going to suggest this kit after reading your first post. I ran this on my old 4Runner (RIP) and...
I just went through this last summer, and I ended up cutting my losses. But here's where I was at:
5VZ- my first choice because it was a bolt in swap, but the cost of finding one was not jiving well with my potential budget.
3VZ- wasn't going to waste my time
22re- a good option, but they're not...
From my understanding, a Hilux Surf is simply a 4Runner, or rather the other way around. I looked at importing one from Japan for a while. Your needed parts should all be the same, save for the RHD/LHD specific stuff. I wouldn't think an idler would be drive side specific, but maybe it is. As...
