    Howdy! This is my first thread
    So I have a 2007 4th gen 4Runner and I need a bit of help.
    A few months ago I installed front and rear Bilstein 5100 shocks and reused my stock coils. It leveled out the 4Runner nicely, but I want to lift it now and I’m not quite sure how. I’m looking for a 2-3 inch lift but not sure what to buy, any help would be much appreciated!

    Welcome to the forum Ethan, here is a pic. For adjusting the fronts, and i think longer springs for the rear, i hope this helps.

    Make sure your lower control arm cam bolts are not frozen, lifting it more than 2” may require cam bolt adjustments for alignment. Mine were frozen so I went with just the 1.3” to level mine out.

    Having said that I have since went out and purchased new lower control arm cam bolts, new lower control arms with bushings, JBA high caster upper control arms, complete ToyTec Aluma series lift kit and Overland Custom Design front and rear sway bar end links. I will be lifting mine this spring when it warms up. Also on the way is a Relentless Fab Defender front bumper.
