    - Bilstein 5100 front set to 2.5in - Bilstein B12 1.5in rear springs - Diode Dynamic fog lights - 285/70r17 BFG KO2
    Hey there,
    I recently lifted my 4Runner and thought I'd come on here and share what I did as I got a lot of help reading through these forums. Feel free to ask any questions.

    I installed Bilstein 5100 front and rear. The fronts are set to the highest setting, 2.5 in, and paired that with 1.5in Bilstein B12 springs in the rear. Maintained some rake for when I load up the rear or have more passengers. I kept the stock UCA's as I was able to get the alignment in spec as is.

    Went with BFG KO2 285/70r17 on the stock sr5 wheels for now. Took off the front mudflaps, but other than that I have no rubbing issues.

    Some machined or polished wheels are definitely in the future but let me know what I should do next!

    Looks good. Good job! Surprised there's no rubbing issues but that's really good.

    I want to get new wheels UNTIL I see the SR5s with bigger tires and a lift. Looks great!

    Thanks! That's what I thought until I pulled the trigger on a new set - completely changed the look.

    The 5100s ride very nice on the road and great off road. Their only downfall is overheating and blowing seals when running at high speed off road (ask me how I know). As long as you are not bombing through the desert at 60 mph, they will serve you well.
