Barcelona Trail:

So I was using this website as well as the other one when researching the mods I wanted to do. I took notes on lift kits, tires, wheels, uca's, etc. etc. This is what I wrote down regarding jba vs spc:

JBA: lifetime warranty, balljoints are easy to swap out, easy to install, well built and sturdier, arms have higher castor built in, not adjustable (which is easier for alignment purposes), red color

SPC: very adjustable which could be hard to align for some shops, balljoints wear fast, issues with bushings over time, black color

Not saying the above is right or wrong, just what I found when doing research....

 

2018 TRD Pro with Icon Stage 3 lift, C4 Fab Low Pro bumper, Baja Design light bar, FrontRunner 3/4 roof rack, Rago Molly rack, BFG KO2 285/70/17, stock rims, PIAA amber lights, SPOD, ARB Twin air compressor, Dobinson 12K winch, coming soon.. Dual battery, Dometic fridge, drawer system, and under armor and C4 Fab rock sliders.

 

I think you've nailed it, regarding pros and cons of the 2. I can imagine a scenario where a shop is in over their head with the SPC UCA. AND the JBA are RED and backed! Nicely done!

 

texastephen70: did you have to powder coat the c4 bumper yourself?

 

Any lift? I just picked up a 4Runner. My first time owning one. I want to put some new wheels and tires on it, but not lift it yet. I went way too far down the modding rabbit hole with my Tacoma.

 

While my 4Runner isn’t a newer one like many of yours are (97 limited). I am looking to get a 3in lift in it and some 31/ 10.5 tires underneath.. Does anyone have any insight on the best bang for your buck? I found a good lift on Rough Country for $300 but I know toytec is a favorite.. And have you come across any problems post lift?

 

Quick question lift or no lift. I think I want a 3 inch lift so I can run 285/79/17 but don’t really know if it’s worth it. Let me know

 

What did you end up going with?

 

Put a baby lift on the wife’s 17 TRD Offroad back in 2018.

Eibach Pro-Truck Lift 2.75” Front 1” Rear
SCS Matte Gunmetal SCS Stealth 6 wheels.
Goodyear Duratracs 255/75/17

No UCA’s just yet, but definitely looking into it

 

Is anyone running a 2-3in lift with 265/70/17? I’m wanting to lift between 2-2.5in but not in the market for bigger tires yet. Will this look stupid lifting that much with smaller tires? I currently have nitto terra grapplers 265/70/17 with TRDwheels. If you have this setup, please post a pic.

 

Pablo, are these Ray 10s the -38 offset?

 

No I have these Ray10's

17 X 8.5 6 X 139.7 4.30" -10mm

 

They look great! I ordered the -38 & have them coming in tomorrow. I am anxious about the offset.

 

Front 3”, rear 2”
17x9 (-38mm) Ray10’s
295/70/17
Big BMC, “high clearance bumper cut”, UCA’s, remove mud flaps.

 

I'm pretty sure SCS designs them with optimal offset/backspace to look great on any 4Runner, Tacoma or FJ. Rest assured I'm sure they'll look badass. Post up when you get them installed.

 

Thank you for sharing. I love this look! I have 285/70/17s with a 3” lift. I have learned more about wheels & tires in these past few weeks than I ever thought I would.

 

Thank you! I sure will.

 

I finally got them installed! Now I need to take it out for a photo shoot.

 

Hey ELKA - too cool! The best of the best. How do you like them?

 

ReadyLift 3/2 with 285/70/17 Toyo AT3's. Waiting on Method 701 wheels to arrive in July.

 

What size are your tires? Is that the stock pro lift? Looks great, julie.

 

Wheels finally arrived. Method 701 17x9 -12 offset
Trimmed front bumper a bit to eliminate rubbing.

 

ELKA's & K02's
1. 2018 ORP with KDSS
2. Elka 2.5 IFP for KDSS set at factory default of 1 1/2"
note: that the Elka shocks do not use a welded eye to fasten to the lower control arm, also; they also use a one piece preload adjustment ring
3. Elka rear shocks 2.5 IFP
4. 1/2" Cornfed spacer on stock rear spring; you can see them in the first photo at the back of my workbench.
5. JBA UCA's
6. K02's and stock OR wheels

 

Looks Awesome; How’s it Drive?

 

2020 Offroad Premium
King 2.5 Remote Reservoirs front and rear.
Icon 52700 rear lift springs 2”
Spc UCA’s
SPC trail Arms
Icon Panhard bar

SCS F5’s -38MM 17”x9”
BFGoodrich 285/70/17

 

It’s great, better than original. These trucks really drive well with a firmer and higher end suspension on them. They’re more direct, responsive and brake better without the soft OEM springs. ELKA is expensive but it’s worth it, imho.
