    4" Setup with powder coated pink suspension on my 2020 4Runner. This is the Toytec Boss Kit which is a 3" setup. I just added a little spice to get up to 4". If you do decide to go this route, you'd need to explore how to get the REAR shock cap either black or pink. As you can see in the pictures my REAR shock caps are red which irritated me to the max. Toytec might have an option for black instead of red, you might want to inquire because they do give you an option of silver or red for the FRONT coils.

    Thank you SO much! I love your 4R! I've seen it couple times down here, and I'm always in awe of your ride LOL. Anyway, thanks so much! So you had to powder coat your suspension yourself?

    Modifications are always fun, but first id see how the stock 4runner does out on your nearby trails.

    Lifts and larger tires are always the go to since its visual appealing. But its not always worth it.

    I will attempt to save you will save a lot of time and money by suggesting to not lift at all
    geometry changes, reliability will diminish there's no way around it
    if you want this truck to be a fun toy and aren't expecting 300k+ miles than go ahead lift away :) would suggest nothing higher than 2 inches

    How does lifting diminish the reliability?:crazy: I’ve seen plenty of lifted 4Runners go 300k+.
