Anyone have pics of eibach 2.75 inch lift with 33" tires?

I've paid the deposit on an eibach 2.75" lift with falken wildpeak AT4's with new upper control arms. I haven't been able to fin d a photo of what this will actually look like and am curious if anyone has done the same thing. Guess I'll find out soon enough, but figured I'd throw this out there and see if anyone randomly has the same thing. I've decided to keep the stock 18 urban runner silver wheels for now. Also got spyder LED headlights. Thanks!

 

There's a bunch of trouble makers in this thread that have that similar setup:

I think there are pictures in this thread:

Thanks! I'll just have to wait to see the end result for my exact vehicle. Kinda difficult to jump into this without a wide knowledge base, but the business I'm working with seems to be very responsive and is hopefully leading me down the right path. I just dont have the time to mess around myself, and sometimes the wealth of options can muddy the waters. Most upgraded 4runners have different/black wheels, so I'm hoping sticking with the stock urban runner silver wheels pays off. I wanted to give it the size and capability without leaning in entirely with black wheels.

 

I have an urban runner with 2.55" up front and eibach 1" lift springs in the rear with the 18s and 285 General Grabbers. I might even have a pic.

Side by side with the new TRD Sport, i also put 2.55" up front and 1" lift eibach rear springs so they both have the same suspension setup.

Third pic is the new one with the new tires. I actually dont have a lotta pix of my 08 UR even though i have owned it forever. Its gotta bit of cancer on the paint and i only wash it about once a year but its a great dang vehicle. Its my daily driver.

 

i'll try to remember to take a pic tomorrow of the UR out in the sun from the side so you can see how tall it looks.
Even though the suspension is the same on both vehicles in the pic, the 4th gen sits differently.

The rear bumper on the 5th gen is about 1" higher
The side windows on the 5th gen are about 1" higher
The front bumper height on the 5th gen is about 1.5" higher
The breakover point of the hood on the 5th gen is almost 5" higher
The hood on the 5th gen is much flatter, the grille is more vertical and taller. This makes the front end of the 5th gen look like its much higher in the air but both vehicles have the same amount of lift and both are practically level on flat ground. The rake on the hood of the 4th gen makes the front end appear like its drooping but honestly i prefer the 4th gens visibility. The windshield is lower, the hood is sloped, you gain a whole crap ton of visibility in the 4th gen. The lift you have is going to be practically level level maybe even a quarter inch high if you are a 4wd. If you are 2wd you will still have some rake. The 2wd is about 3/4"-1" lower in the front end.

 

Went to dollar store tonight. Took a pic if you’ll notice the running board is level with the ground. The 2.55” up front and 1” spring rear makes it practically level.

the rear wheel arch is much higher than the front though. The frame and floorboard and lower rocker are level with the ground but the vehicle appears nose down due to the raked nose / hood and the windows sloping downward. The body lines make it appear like the front is down but it’s very level.

 

Are you just looking for a pic of a 4R with a 2.7 lift? Mine is lifted 2.7 in front and 1” in rear, but my shocks are Bilstein and my tires are KO3. Pic is in my media.

 

Roughly measured, I'm around 2.7"-ish upfront w/ 285s. I do have the Eibach Stage 2 Kit + load leveling in the rear. I wanted to maintain the factory rake even lifted because I have a roof box and use my cargo area for camping gear. Generally, it levels out loaded. Hopefully, the pictures help.

 

Thanks everyone. Yeah I was just curious what mine would look like once complete. Parts are in, I'll dropoff next week. I'll definitely post pics once complete.

 

Those are all some good lookin 4'runners

 

Just got it back from the shop, and I am VERY pleased. The photos DO NOT do it justice whatsoever. It looks much smaller in the photos than in real life. Here are some of the first photos for anyone interested.

2008 urban runner
Eibach Stage 1 (2.75" front, 1" rear)
285 65 R18 Falken WildPeak AT4
Upper control arms
Spyder headlights

I kept the 18" OEM wheels because I didn't want it to look like the typical lift.

I cannot stress enough how much better in looks in person. Just adding that for anyone with the same model looking for a similar build. I was apprehensive about the stage 1 not being enough, but, after seeing it in person, it is perfect.

 

Dude that thing is baller
Is it for sale?
Its HAWT.

 

Haha thanks man. Only 120,000 miles so hopefully has a lot of life left

 

Wanna sell it?

 

Mmmm look at all dat meat

 

I was going to say it looks terrible. You should consider selling it to me!

 

Lol, can't sell it. Love it too much.

 

Just out of curiosity, how much are people willing to spend on a '08 urban runner with these mods and 120,000 miles. Considering near perfect interior and engine?

 

Depends on what it looks like, typical 4Runner listings on craigslist and Marketplace are anywhere from $6500-$12,000 depending on mileage and condition. How it looks plays a big part in it. There is a white 09 Urban Runner for sale in Texas, the guy doesnt even have it listed as an Urban runner. Its been repainted and the factory door decals removed but the interior is telling. It looks NICE on the inside but the multiple different colors of paint tells me its possibly been in a fender bender a time or two and i dont want mis-matching doors and fenders. This one is listed for $10,400 with 190,000 miles.

 

Your passengers side front door, the window molding has an odd bulge in it, where the molding bulges upward, has the lower window molding been removed before? This has a solid metal strip inside it and "clamps" over the door skin. Having yours been upward in the middle like it does makes me wonder what happened to it. Also the pinstripes, dont ever recall seeing an Urban Runner with pinstripes. Another oddity.
I would say your vehicle would realistically bring $12,000-$12,500 on the normal market and if you found the right buyer who really wanted it bad you might could get as high as $13,000-$14,000 all in, this is assuming the interior matches the drapes.

 

Good catch! The passenger door actuator was just replaced, so not sure if that has anything to do with it. I bought it from a single-owner when it had 43,000 miles on it with a clean car-fax, and have never had a single issue with it other than normal wear/tear. The interior is standard. I would never sell it, but does modifying it increase the value?

 

Also, I've seen a few other of the '08 titanium metallic's that have the pinstripes. Not just mine. Seem's like a strange thing for multiple owners to add so I'm assuming it came with some of the originals with this color?

*This is an edit -- chatGPT say's none of the originals came with pinstripes! WTF lol

 

To you it probably does
To the rest of the world it does not
Even tasteful mods dont typically add value
A brand new set of your favorite offroad tire adds little to no value
A brand new set of Michelins does add to value
A brand new $5,000 paint job is basically worth the same as the original paint with minimal rock chips
Putting a fancy stereo system in adds little to no value over a stock stereo
Its all about what it looks like and how well its been serviced and how well it drives that ultimately makes it worth buying or not.

 

Well, that makes sense, but it doesn't matter. It's my project forever. I was just curious! It's worth more than anyone would pay me for. These things aren't worth selling, it's for the fun of it.

 

daaaammmmnnnn. That looks great. Are you happy? What made you decide to install UCAs?
