Miscellaneous Parts:

Emergency-brake bracket.

Longer Rear Braided Stainless Brake Line.

Rear Braided Stainless Brake Line installed.

Custom made 2.5" Panhard Bar drop bracket. The purpose of this is to re-center the axle perfectly under the truck after the 2" lift.

A lot like the commercially available 2nd Generation 4Runner drop brackets but on the outside versus the inside. With the exception being this one is welded on and the others are bolt on. A little grinding on the very bottom of the stock bracket was necessary to fit the bracket. It was cut out of a 1/4" thick 2" receiver hitch tube and has a stock location hole and a 2.5" drop hole.

A view from the front. Extra support arms were added, even though they were probably not needed. Notice the two positions. One for stock height and the other for a rear end with lift.

Here is an excellent diagram of how the panhard bar is effected by the lift.

3.5" Daystar competition style bump stops and adapters, a much smoother bottom out than anything Toyota ever came up with. The Daystar competition style bump stops will smooth out any bottom outs much more effectively than the small stout 99+ frame mounted bump stops & the coil spring isolator cones or the single larger 96-98 larger frame mounted stops.

Bump stop adapters with the Daystar competition style stops in place. They are made entirely out of 1/4" steel plates and welded together forming an open end box shape.

Bump stop adapters installed on the 4Runner. Daystar competition style bump stop, KU09014BK, replaces the stout little stock bump stop & the center isolator cone. In the end this design actually smoothed out the bumps even more than the stock cone/bump stop combo.


Thermonuclear "20 Megaton Performance" Front Disconnects.

The longer front disconnects installed on the 4Runner and the front sway bar back to the stock position.

After I installed the 2" lift, the suspension did stiffen up slightly. This caused the body mounts to start making some strange noises when you traveled over small bumps in the road. I pulled the lower part of the bushing off and put a little grease on it and reinstalled it a hair looser. I added the second bolt to ensure nothing would loosen or fall of. This eliminated the strange noises completely.

With the increase to 33" tires I added these Polyurethane Steering Rack bushings. You will have to cut the rubber away from the center bushing sleeve and reuse it because the one provided has an inside diameter that is to small for the stock Toyota bolt to pass through Part #8.10101G

ARB/Old Man Emu 10mm rear spring trim packers. Part number: OME80PF10

The 10mm spacer goes in between the stock Toyota cone and the spring. I gained 1/2" of lift from the 10mm spacer. These can be used with any rear 4Runner spring, not just OME springs.

1" Cornbred Rear spacer on the left and OME Trim Packer on the right.

1" Cornbred spacer provides 1" even of lift to the spring. The stock Toyota cone and OME trim packer measure out to 3/4" but delivers less lift due to sag. The 1" Cornbred seems to be a much better solution.
