    In this video, I show you how to install a 2" lift on your 3rd gen Toyota 4runner. I have another video on my 3-4" lift but I wanted to make a complete video for someone coming from a stock 3rd Gen 4Runner.
    Check out my other video for other tips but I found this is the easiest way to install a lift.

    One note for installing taller struts using the bottle jack method: I did this on my '97 when installing a Dobinsons 2" lift and a diff drop kit. After driving around a while I detected a lot of CV grease spattered around the front end, and it seemed to be coming from both inner CV boots. I assumed that the boots had torn from the slightly different angle so back up on the hoist and re-inspected. They were fine.
    So what caused the problem? Well, what actually happened was a little more difficult to detect (but much easier to fix). When we hyperextend the drive components to shoe-horn the new struts in, the CV boots will "pull" upwards on the axle shafts. The shafts have a very subtle taper to them, so when the boots pull over that taper, they will stretch, along with the clamps. The easy fix is to just make sure to re-tighten your clamps once the tension is released from prying the two ends apart, and you're good to go.

    I've done strut assembly replacements on a couple other vehicles, but it's always good to get some details on that specific vehicle. I partially watched other videos but they try to hard to explain what they're doing or did the repair with too many extra unnecessary steps and they all failed at making a usable DIY video. This video explains and shows the simplest way this repair is done without taking too much of your time. I appreciate the info, it helped me get mine done quickly without any hassles throughout the whole process. Thanks bro

    In the US, with left hand drive vehicles, if the springs are labeled DS and PS, we install the DS (Driver Side) springs on the PS (Passenger Side) and visa versa. The springs are labeled for the right hand drive vehicles. If you can not locate the labels, or you have used springs, make sure you mark the springs that you remove from your vehicle and match long with the long and the short with the short springs.
    Lately some springs are labeled A and B. A is for Australian driver side, so in the US this should go on the passenger side and B should go on the driver side.......Great Video minus the springs !

    Thats a nice clean 3rd gen. That frame looks perfectly rust free. I had a very similar set up on my 98, except that I had the Tacoma 5100s paired with the 99 (tall) springs up front set on the middle ring, with the OME 890s in the back paired with the FJ80 OEM Tokikos. If I may make a suggestion, get the diff drop for the front. My front was probably lifted no more than 1.75" from stock, and I tore 3 CV boots in a few years. Replacing CVs gets old fast. On the forums they'll tell you the CV boots will be fine without a diff drop until you get up to around 3" lift. But in my experience that's just not true.

    • @PhoRunner
      @PhoRunner  2 года назад

      You'll also want to consider installing a new adjustable panhard bar on the rear axle. Even when lifting 2" the rear axle will shift a little to the passenger side, so your rear wheels won't be tracking perfectly with the front wheels. I learned this the hard way with my 3rd gen I just bought that already had a 3" Toytec lift on it-mine was about 1" shifted to the passenger side. I used a Sonoran Steel adjustable panhard bar to fix it. I really wish I could drop mine (cheaply) down to a 2" lift. It drives terrible with a wobble coming in at 45-50mph...now I have to install new upper control arms to get the alignment correct to fix the high speed wobble. Grrrr!

      no complaints so far. I think 2" is real close to stock that it doesn't matter. Remember that the 1999 4runner (highlander) has a 1" lift coil stock so getting these to 2" won't affect much. That's why it's my favorite lift for these 4runners. On my rig, I run 2nd gen links in the front. Seem to be fine.

    Good stuff, again! I think you did another one of these for your ride, but I appreciate you doing another on your friend’s ride. I always learn something different on each of your videos.My 4Runner already had a lift when I bought it; however, I just happened to be checking around the other day, and I noticed the spring isolator (cone) is missing on both sides in the rear. How much of a problem do you think that is? I’m concerned because the spring basically has no “buffer” against the metal it is pressed against.

      Thanks, again, for this. I ended up grabbing some spring isolators (cones) from the junk yard to install on top my coils. I removed the coils after unscrewing the sway bar links and shock bolts (just the lower ones). That driver side was a bear (as you mentioned in the video), but once again, I used the bottle jack for the win! It was tricky b/c I didn't remove my shocks (they're relatively new Bilsteins from a previous lift), so I didn't have much room to pull the coil out and then push it back in (that was the worst part). The passenger side was a breeze. Thanks for making it easier for the rest of us!
