    Just bought my 1st 4runner and first lifted suv it’s a 1992 4x4 automatic and I can’t alighn my front wheels. The alighnment is so off I’m scared to drive it lol. But I’m not really sure why? The guy who sold it to me said it has a 6 inch lift kit with bilstien shocks and nothing looks bent in the front.

    A few things, you posted this 3 times so you might want to delete the other threads so you have a consolidated thread. It will make it easier for you.

    2nd what is your experience with aligning vehicles?

    Did you test drive the 4runner? Did it have the alignment issue then? It could very well be tires/wheels aren't balanced if you don't see any damage.

    I'm thinking the 6" lift is too much for the stock UCAs. I'm not an expert so don't even quote me to friends when BSing but that lean looks like more than just an alignment.

    Hopefully someone else who is even remotely more knowledgeable than me can weigh in.

    Good luck bud, it looks like a fun ride.... and everything can be fixed so don't sweat it!

    It looks like it may be missing parts required for lifting this type of suspension. Specifically there should be a knuckle adapter, that from what I can tell is missing...

    That almost looks like it's at full drop sitting on flat ground?? I could be way off, but the geometry there looks odd to me. Ha it could be that I just haven't looked at a 6" lift before.
