The front looks pretty high. Does it ride like crap?

Bounces a little bit, I haven't put the new tires on but once I do it's going to ride better

I actually bought it with out the flare lol, it's an OME 2.5" medium load kit and I'm going to be running 295/75/16 just waiting for them to get here, yours looks extremely clean!
Are you sure new tires alone are going to make for a marked improvement in ride? I think it's going to take more than just tires to fix a bouncy ride.

Yeah lol I've had 3 other lifted vehicles including a GMC Sierra on 6", ram 1500 on 6", Wrangler on 3.5" and it happens every single time I take them out of the shop and once I get the tires and get it aligned it rides way smoother
Well thanks,
As clean as a single business owner, no accident, non-smoker, no-pets can be I guess.
But I did become the second owner at 435K miles, Lol...

Wow!!!! That's why I decided to get this and sold my jeep because of the reliability of them can't wait to put more miles on mine, do you have any plans to lift it and stuff?
Hopefully just an OME 1.5" or maybe even cheaper and get a Whiteline spacer for the rear and slightly tweak the TBs and run some 285s.
I mean at this point it's just not wise to throw money at it to a degree, however the wife and I are really enjoying it.
It's my first LC but maybe my 7th or 8th Toyota.
It runs like a fricken top, The PO took care of anything it needed as it was a business expense. I have a healthy file of records.

Did you buy that out of Dallas? I thought I remembered seeing a higher mileage white '99 on Craigslist for a while and now it's gone. And I do remember it having a missing fender flare.
I like the lift. Hopefully mine will have one here shortly!

No I bought it here locally in Houston but I did find it on Craigslist
Naw, Greer SC off of Craigslist...
I was very intrigued when I saw one owner in the add, called and set up the meet.
I knew and told the wife you can't NOT service a vehicle and have it go that many miles, Lol...
@LDiaz, I think what @ton504 is referring to - asking about a crappy ride - has to do with how much the TBs are cranked. 100s don't like to be level. There's a fine line... it's odd. At some point along the lift, the ride and steering change like flipping a switch. If you find that the steering is very light, and the front end is very stiff to the point of being rough, dial the TBs down a bit - just .5" or so and see how it affects the ride.

Ah okay as of yesterday when I drove it from the shop to my house it was like a 45min drive and it drove just fine but I guess when I start noticing otherwise I'll do that, thanks for explaining
Hi @Greenbean , I'm looking to buy the Whiteline coil spacer. How does it hold on your LC?
