Gruz7,
That looks great. Did you have to replace anything to get that high of a lift?

Just bought a '08 King Ranch with 124k miles. Changed the plugs today, Whew, glad it has the one piece plugs. Hallelujah.
Nope basically just cutting a little off the fan shroud

Awesome! I love that look. So you didn't have to make any of the brake lines longer of the transmission shift cable? What did you use to do your lift?
Nope with the 1.5” blocks he filler neck was good, steering linkage was good, brake/fuel/tranny/shifter lines were all good, there was a little bit tightening on some of them and a few grounds but still enough slack for driving. The rear tow hitch rubs against the back bumper cover a little bit as well but not too bad. And like I said the only really needing changing is the fan shroud I took about 2” off the bottom of the shroud

And to do the actual lift I used all hand tools and a torque wrench (60 ft/lbs) and then some 4x4 wood blocks and 2 floor jacks to lift the body off one side at a time

Gruz.. what body lift did u use ?
Any links..
1.5 doesn't sound like much but I'm guessing you probably can tell it getting in.
I'm doing this been pondering on it all summer but is there a reason why you went with the 1.5 and not 2" ?
Guessing that at the 2" it might would involve having to change or extend things..
Looks good brother [emoji3]

Yeah I have a few friends that did the 3” and needed to extend some thing here and there and I wanted to stay away from that, typically with 4runners, cruisers and other overland type trucks I saw that they were all going for basically a 1.5” body lift (probably to make It easier to get things off the roof). So I did some quick guesstimate measuring and It seemed like It would work well for me. You can definitely tell the difference in person and I now think 37s should clear okay-ish. But I just bought 3” blocks from Zone and had them cut in half and I got All grade 8 hardware with some big washers/red loctite/proper torque specs. And I’ve had It pretty fast around corners, had it in a few trails and have had zero issues at all. A 2” lift would be the absolute MAX as far as lines/wires/steering/fuel neck/bumpers go IMO... even the 1.5” kind of pushes everything a bit but I checked and I have slack everywhere and everything is proper. Fan shroud is only thing that needs adjustment.

I do have adjustable pedals and I believe they work fine but haven’t tried pressing the button in a few weeks. (or “post-body lift”) lol
