Overall, this seems doable! Just hope I don’t get too distracted by my new taller 4Runner halfway through the install!
Lifting your 3rd gen 4Runner is a great start! Just remember that alignment adjustments are crucial afterward to prevent uneven tire wear.
Absolutely! Also consider upgrading to larger tires. They not only improve traction but also enhance the look of your 4Runner!
Don’t forget about the brakes! If you’re upgrading tires and adding weight, better pads and rotors can really maintain safety and performance.
Great point! It’s easy to overlook brakes during modifications. Have any recommendations for good brake upgrades?
I’ve had good experiences with EBC brake pads and rotors. They hold up well and give a solid performance boost after lifting.
Also worth noting, if you’re lifting it a lot, you may need to beef up your drivetrain components to handle the extra stress!
Exactly! A stronger driveshaft can make a huge difference. Has anyone noticed issues with theirs after lifting?
I had a slight vibration after lifting until I installed a new driveshaft. It’s like night and day now! Definitely a recommended upgrade.
I find all these upgrades exciting! But it can get real pricey. Any tips for balancing performance with budget for these modifications?
You can often find used parts from others who upgraded! Just be sure to inspect them thoroughly before buying.
