One and the same. You wouldn't have a link to this discussion would you?

EDIT: Think I found it

Maybe not, there was a post in the off topic area, not the past trail runs forum (I just found that one too). http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/mb/...y&msg=104558.1

When are you going to lift the back of your truck? And what gears did you order?

No, it sits perfectly level.

Sold the front bumper... I am having my friend make me a new one for the front.

I want to have driving lights mounted in the bumper under the head lights. We are totally making it look good... I am also going to buy a Warn 8000 LB winch ...


44Runner, have any level pictures of your truck? How did you make the rear lift with the front? I have well over 6" of lift in the back and it still sites 1/2 inch lower then the front.

Yeah dude, but your front lift is much taller than mine. You used 44044s. I have stock waggy springs. I have no more than 6.5" of total lift over stock. My goal was to keep it low while still being able to flex and fit 35s. I saw all the Tacos running 44044s and decided that was too tall for me. I went with the lower COG approach.

My whole front setup remains fairly unique. I'm not sure if there is a Taco out there running anything like I have. I think I have the shortest lift of any SAS Taco or 3rd Gen Runner. Hell, my truck is still height legal in VA, with room to spare. I don't know any other SAS truck here that is...

Ah 44044's are only 2.5 of life.. How did you get that much lift out of the back of your truck? I had to do leaf springs in the back to make up the difference when i had my IFS lift.

New coils and Cornfed spacers. Then fixed the panhard bar and I was good to go.

You can look at your pictures and tell that your Runner is quite a bit higher than mine...

maybe for a wagoneer, but i bet the 4R is significantly lighter than the Waggy.

i think Tacos that run the Rancho 44044s get close to 10" of lift.
