    My mistake, Solo 4.5” XLT kit would give more travel.

    1) What is the maintenance schedule for these LT?
    I know my regular lift needs 50K shock rebuild (if shocks are bad) and SPC UCA re-grease about every year. Is there a maintenance list for LT? ​

    2) Can you use LT with front swaybar? (No big deal in rear) If so what is the front up and down travel numbers?
    2a) Any numbers available for up and down travel without both sway bars and limiters?​

    3) Do all LT shocks come with racing tune or people have to pick what tune you want? Ie - fully baja style tune or have a on-road tune have LT more for extra flex at slow speeds.

    I saw some pictures here of their stuff and it looked beautiful. I think you’re the first here to post about doing something like this! Please update as you progress on this project. I haven't seen much on on 4runners set up for the desert.

    I’m just running a set of 2 inch spacers up front with a 2 inch spacer lift on the front only.

    Fins and Things at Moab Utah. I dragged the ass end over so many rocks. I need clearance. Losing the pro features won’t bother me

    I take off summer and go out west for 6-8 weeks . Mississippi Summers suck ass.

    I’ll find some places and just chill and camp , focus on my Coleman stove skills. Scream at the moon like a sick psychopathic. Go to music fest. Live for a living basically

    East side of Oregon is my favorite (the flat side).

    I have scratched my A** after lift. I'm a really really careful driver but could not avoid it. May be rear bumper might be a good idea more than lift.

    Umm, a cantilever rear setup is a bit more than a lift. A baja setup like this sounds like a project that is closer to rebuilding the 4runner than “just lifting” lol. Which is why this is gonna get good! We’ll need pictures!!!:):D

    @Jhud0421 Are you planning on doing anything with the front end?


    . I would think not. Considering the scale of the differences and costs!

    Well. I’m making room for the tires which is a feat. This kit moves the axle 2 inches forward 5 down and 5 wider each side.

    if it don’t handle 35s well I will regear it. Might put a mag rocknroller in. Look into chips. Etc

    I sold my Humvee becuase keeping up with my 3 and my wife’s car is too much. It’s a pimp my ride project.

    I bought this ride it was totaled. The frame was FUBAR had to weld a new front clip on. I have the fiberglass fenders becuase it was cheaper than fixing the stock. Hella good choice
    I don’t mind hacking on it lol.
