Leveling Options, after C4 Lo-Pro Front Bumper and Winch?

Thanks for the update. Glad you like it. It’s a good quality kit!

I think you’ll be happy with it Wally.

 

Ok thanks. I did buy the diff drop kit again on Wheelers recommendation but I am going to try it without it at first.

I hope so. Did a lot of research and this kit was built for our 4's by enthusiasts who actually drive them personally. I also like the fact it will accommodate future upgrades like a front bumper. I won't get it installed for a while but got it to take advantage of a sale. Have to still buy a few things to make up that 3-500 lbs I will be carrying daily. Those things are a lot of money and it's gonna take a while to obtain them. Anyway, thanks again.

 

Looking at doing the EXACT same set up, did the rear springs lift the Runner at all?

4Runner is looking good!

 

Yes the rear springs lift also, I think its something like 1" rear 2.75" front, depending on your bumper, winch weight, etc.

 

Good to know. I am between the Dobinson, Eibach and 6112/5160's. So many choices

 

Replying to this thread in general and joined this forum just for this thread of knowledgeable posters!

Less than 2 weeks ago I did a spur of the moment purchase=2021 4Runner Off-road premium.
When finishing the purchase the dealer shows you stuff you can add. Knowing I'd want slightly bigger tires
I said yes to what I think they called the 3-2 Leveling lift. I think it is this one, or something very close (I know precious little
on lifting and suspensions).

Now I'm getting the urge to add a front bumper and winch, much like the aluminum one listed on page one of this thread.
Did I waste time/money with the 3-2 leveling kit I've already had done?
I like the height and stance of what I've got now; can stronger springs alone be added to accommodate the new weight from the hoped for bumper and winch? or
will the 3-2 stuff have to go?

I know there are steel bumpers like the limited bumper mentioned above but I'd pay up for aluminum if it means I could by pass having to
pay for new shocks/springs.

I'll eventually address the rear bumper after I get over the front

And thanks for all clues/suggestions.

 

Its not about getting TALLER springs to compensate for the added weight, its about getting STIFFER springs.
You might be ok as far as how it sits, but you may not like how it rides, it might slight to bounce or get sloshy.

 

Throw it on there and see what happens.
For mods I went:

Tires (stock size AT), winch / bumper, then lift.

After that it was light bar and armor.


Next will be taller tires and then a rear bumper.
