That looks great. How does this compare to the mt64s. I know they’re better priced but besides that.

So after a month of having my 4Runner and reading about everyone's awesome builds. I planned out a build

Build
- 2026 SR5 (7 seater) in Cutting Edge
- Removed Air Dam
- Bilstein 6112's at circlip setting (#3) for a 2" lift in the front
- Bilstein 6100's in the rear
- Westcott Designs 1" rear pucks
- Matte Black Method 703s (17"x8.5" w/ 35mm offset)
- BFG All-Terrain KO3s 285/75R17

I have no rubbing, no trimming needed, no need to remove crash brackets. Everything just worked out perfectly, but oh is it close haha

Shout out to @Furrypanda1121, @romik, @Twisted, @TheMachine, and @dirtwheeler For your insight and/or inspiring builds.

The Bilstein 6112's at circlip setting (#3) for a 2" lift in the front paired with the 1" (~0.8") Westcott Designs rear coil spacers and a factory rake of ~1.6", retains a slight rake after lifting which makes it look super mean.

IMO the amount of rubber on the 285/75R17 fills out the wheel well perfectly and pairs really nicely with the (2" front + 2.4" final rear height).

Great job!! It's the perfect fit

The Bilsteins ride more firm than stock SR5 suspension but also have a nice high quality dampened feel to them.

Lmao I know what this means, but it still sounds so funny when ya read it. Wish I could see how this feels. I thought the Limited trim's adjustable variable suspension would've given me a bit more plush on the roads when it comes to potholes, but alas it is a body on frame

Thanks! I think so as well. Definitely cut it close though. Clearance is acceptable but tight.

Honestly, I don't really know how to describe it but it's very nice. I have zero complaints!

Looks great! Just got mine back this morning with the 6112/6100 + UCA combo. Now i gotta figure out which wheels and tires I should get. Mine ended up being 2.5" up front with 1.5" in the rear. Pretty much level, with about 1/4" rake still there.

UCA’s did Bilstein use B8s? Do you have any information regarding this!? And also, pictures of the new dialed in set up! I bet it came out sick!

They didn't give me any additional information on the control arms or their heavy duty rear springs. But everything is installed and it rides way better than stock in my opinion. Once their springs are released, I'll be switching to those as it gives 1.75" of lift which will give me some rake back. I can get a photo of the alignment sheet later, but it was aligned without issue.

How did it impact your fuel mileage? I don’t care about mpg, but I do care a lot about range so mpg matters in that regard

Turned out awesome! I Agree the 1.75" inch springs in the rear is a good look. What kind of shoes are you putting on it, or are you keeping those Michelins?

TBH I lifted it pretty much right away, it had 475 miles on it. So I didn't really note the mileage pre- lift and tires. I bought the 4runner with the intent of lifting it so I just couldn't wait, hah

Wheels and tires are down the line a few months, but I'm leaning towards your same setup, but in matte bronze. Had the KO2s on my Silverado and liked em, so might as well try out the KO3s.
