    Hi everyone!
    My name is Jmo and I am the new owner of a 2008 4Runner Limited 4x4.
    AND I FREEKIN LOVE IT!
    Looking for a little advice and info on lifting it.
    Ive ordered a kit from yotamafia.com that includes

    Bilstein 5100 shocks front and rear, front has adjustments to 2.5’’
    OME 885 2.5” front coils
    OME 895 2.5” rear coils
    SPC upper control arms
    I also ordered extended rear brake hoses.


    Do i need to get aftermarket anti sway bars or anything else?

    I just sold a f150 I bought with a 6”lift on it and it road like crap but it had Oem shocks and just big spacers...35’tires and wobbled like crazy over 45mph and didn’t steady till 75mph.

    I currently have 265/60r/18 tires, and looking for advice on tires, i dont want to go to big, def not over 33”, Ive been thinking of going with a m/t tire or a m/t hybrid tire. Looking for options that dont give a ton of noise and are good on highway. This 4runner would mostly see Forrest service/fire service roads, and maybe some muddy grassy hills... no crawling or anything.


    Do i have to do a body mount chop if I’m at 32-33” or only if i had 35” tires?

    So many questions...

    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

    -JMO
