    Greetings fellow 4Runnians,

    I'm about to install my Elka 2.5s that will give 1" of lift in the back and 2" up front. I am unsure about the sumospring bumpstops being able to reach the axle now. Is it necessary to add some kind of bump stop spacer to make sure they still reach properly? Would I use what's below?

    Rear necessary? Toytec Bumpstop Spacer: Front necessary? Timbren Rear Bumpstop Spacers (might fit with sumos): Open to what others have done or your ideas please.

    You're lifting within the suspension's normal travel range so regular bump stops will work. You would need then if you used stop plate spacers.

    Are you keeping the stock tire size? You should be fine. 35’s? Yeah, I’d look at some bump stop spacers
    Enjoy!

    Thank you Mike. For now it's stock tire size. Honestly, most I'd need is 33". So good to know.

    The 4x4 shop didn't tell anything about bump stops when I got ELKA 2.5DC front 3in lift and rear 2in lift with 285/70R17 tires. However they wanted rear brake line extension for my non KDSS ORP. For the front the kit comes with sway bar relocation kit with remote res mount thing. Didn't say anything about bump stops. I forgot they said if ELKA has protection internally. I don't remember that.

    Elka's don't seem to be very common which initially had me looking at other options. They look sharp and perform great.

    Neat on the vertical installation. I was thinking of horizontal for the reservoir. Thoughts?

    Awesome! What do you mean swaybar relocation?

    I had previously done the brake line extension. :) Love the Crown brake lines.

    This is the one. I think the reason is to pull it forward. Don't remember exactly the reason. Better to check with the shop.

    I think vertical is intended for the sway bar bracket kmeeg mentioned at bottom of reservoir. Not a lot of info on Elka on the forum unfortunately.

    The rear is tucked away nicely with clean lines but not much to show in a pic.
