2026 4Runner SR5
2025 2026 4runner 6th gen Silver SR5 (7 seater) Build- Bilstein 6112 / 6100, Westcott Designs rear pucks, Method 703 +35 offset, 285/75R17 BFG KO3 35436-3cfc0283a01aba8a7f4558119bbec841

2025 2026 4runner 6th gen Silver SR5 (7 seater) Build- Bilstein 6112 / 6100, Westcott Designs rear pucks, Method 703 +35 offset, 285/75R17 BFG KO3 35437-577b4b07abf24361db28eafd3fafa88


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).

Can you add a picture of the 3rd row seats?

How was your alignment? I know 2 in is about the limit to lift before you need to replace the UCA. Thanks in advance

I have been looking for the right setup. This looks like the perfect amount of lift and i like that there is still some front rake. Did you evaluate any rear shocks that would allow for the same lift as the puck?

Need new springs if you don't want the puck. The shocks are ready for a lift but if the springs are stock you won't get any lift

I went in with the presumption that if I stayed under 2.5” of lift in the front then I would be able to recover back into alignment without needing to get aftermarket UCAs. Even though I’d be very tempted to get Bilstein UCAs for gen 6 4Runner when they come out with them.
The shop that did the installation did an alignment and said nothing about not being able to get in alignment.

New rear coils typically lift the rear a minimum of 1.25” so in order to get a 1 inch lift in the rear, I believe rear pucks are what’s available. That’s just my understanding.
