My Wind Chill Pearl Limited mild updates so far

[kzanard]

I traded in my 24 TRD Pro for this 25 Limited. Overall I am enjoying the 25 aside from some minor annoyances (rear seat room & folding, etc). Just wanted to make it a little more robust and capable. I rarely do any real technical off-roading, so this should be fine for my needs. Mods so far:
- Ceramic coat
- tint on all windows (except windshield)
- debadged
- removed from air dam
- red tow hooks (Amazon)
- Method #703, 17x8.5, +35 offset
- BFG KO3 285/70/17 (C load)
- ReadyLIFT 1” Leveling Kit (SKU 66-54150)

Only have about 20 miles on the setup so far, but it seems a little smoother than stock around town and about the same as stock at highway speeds.

That's it for now. Eventually will swap out the grill and then move on to some minor audio upgrades (speakers, sound deadening, amp).

Question - did you have to remove the adjustable variable suspension to use the lift kit?

I’d imagine so but could be wrong. The ReadyLift website says they have not tested it on AVS equipped 4Runners. Seems like it’d throw something off…Swear I’m so tempted to pull the AVS out since it doesn’t cause issues when you do.

lol I’m reluctant to on a brand new truck, I’d like to think avs is doing something for me. Also want a level stance… hopefully we see some other vendors getting passed R&D with more offerings soon.

No, totally stock AVS and no issues so far (currently 3,500 miles).

Well ok! Thats very tempting then. In thinking about it more, it makes sense that you haven’t seen issues since the AVS only adjusts dampening force and not ride height. If you don’t mind me asking, about how much did you pay for the install? The hardware itself looks to be inexpensive.

Sorry, I do not have the detailed receipt easily accessible. I had the same shop install the level lift, wheels, tires, and alignment all at once. Cost for all was just under $4k. Initial quote was almost $800 more. Be sure to negotiate (I had competitive quotes for all items to use for negotiation). I think they charged me 2 hrs labor to install the lift.

Ok, figured it’d be about $400-500. If I recall, had some UCAs installed on my previous truck and it was about $500. Your truck is looking great. Thanks
