- In this episode the new 4Runned gets its first major offroad mod, a Bilstein 5100 Suspension Lift. The kit is made to lift the Toyota 2.5 inches, and that's exactly the result I got. The front shocks use a snap-ring to hold the weight of the vehicle, which doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. but having now tested it myself it seems to hold up fine offroad.
All this and more, this time on Full Tilt Drift! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
What a legend. My 4Runner will be even more of a beast in no time
This tutorial is underrated
I also have a 4runner the same year and I would like to let the public know just because you purchased the front control arm your lift is still incomplete. With bigger springs in the rear and stock rear control arms with stock track bar it sucks the tires towards the rear door and changes your wheel base and pinion angle. So with the same kit shown in the video you still need a front diff drop sway bar drop and adjustable rear arms along with adjustable track bar or bracket for track bar and measure your wheel base before you lift it and measure you pinion angle and try to match the best you can to save your ride quality and wear on components...and curb appeal,I find it funny when I see the back tires looking like the truck trying to poop 💩 haha 🤣🤣 all love great video just passing the information
This was so straight forward thanks!
I bought a 4runner v8 to tow my drift car with. Waiting for the parts to arrive as I’m watching this video 👍🏼
Nice job!! I just brought a 2004 4runner with a set of Bilstein 5100 on front and rear. I would like to change the rear air bag suspension to spring in the further, do you have any suggested spring?
Hi, i Have question about the rear part, I'm thinking getting bilstein 5100 for my 4th gen 4runner but can I using OEM spring and will it compatible with this longer body struts? Thanks
What spring did you use in the rear?
nice job what tires and ring you have i will work on my 2008 sr5 soon
I’ve got the x-reas on my 2004 4runnner. Just replaced it with a costly complicated system
Replaced with Billstein 4600 all around
which spring did you use in the rear?
For a second there I thought you were about to hit that car lol
What spring you use in rear?
What spring you use for front? Stock, or med weight?
Do you have the part number for the 5100 front and rear?
Looks good. Did the ride quality improve?
Define "improve." It got taller so the handling isnt better and it will lean over more in turns. It feels kind of stiff mostly over speed bumps and such. Where it really shines in on the trail. Easy and smooth 40-50mph, completely controllable on some rough dirt roads.
With the suspension already shot (like my xreas) did you regret putting the snap ring onto the top setting? I heard people complain about the roughness of the ride and going down one. Thanks!
No regret at all. I wouldnt call the ride rough, but i might have a skewed opinion considering i like my cars lowered usually
Has the ride quality suffered due to the front spring being compressed on the maximum front shock setting? Also what spring did you use in the rear?
Thats not exactly how it works. The spring remains compressed the same amount it just starts at a higher point on the shock body. Thus the lift
@@fulltiltdrift4909 wow I did not know that, so what you’re saying is the spring remains compressed the same amount even at 1.75 inch setting compared to the 0 inch setting?
@@CBW0314 yup, spring compression when the car is on the ground is the same amount no matter what setting you have it on
how much was this lift?
I forgot another question so these are good shocks to do for me I really don't do off routine but I love my forerunner and the suspicion needs to be deleted and replaced
if you dont offroad it, I don't recommend lifting it. it will be far less enjoyable ton drive and get worse gas mileage
hows the alignment ? did you need and upper control arm for the front?
If i drove it a lot i would go with the upper arm to save on the tire wear. I went without it and it has been fine for me. there is some increased outside tire wear but nothing dramatic.
Can you tell us all what spring you used in the rear?
Dont have the part # handy but it was the bilstein 1.5" lift springs in the rear.
Great video! where did you buy this pack ?? rear an front
Sourced it from a 4x4 website specializing in bilstien kits. Cant seem to find it anymore, but theres a tok of places selling these kits.
I have 2008 forerunner and I wanna replace the X-ray as delete it and put on new shocks front back now I'm hearing if you lift it too high you could damage the U joints from the front drive system out of the transfer case is that true I will not set it that high I'll keep it on the low setting Was your ride height set to specs will it will not mess up the OEM drive train🤔🤷
nope at 3" lift you shouldnt hurt anything in the drivetrain.
Do you need to do anything to the CV axles with this kind of high added?
nope
One of mine tore the next day...
Don't you need to change the upper control arm now that the angle has changed?
Not unless I want a really perfect alignment. A little bit of camber wont hurt and the tires dont seem to mind it in 10k miles.
Anything 3” and up you do.2.5 and lower you don’t.
What rear spring did you use?
Bilstein 1.5" lift spring
how much was the total for the lift?
About $600 if i remember right
they are designed so that the rear is 1.5 inches higher than the front
which is why people put bigger lift on the front level it out
What size tires and wheels
stock wheels and tires from a 2020 4runner
Was this a 3in lift or 2in?
i believe its a 2.5 inch lift
