They're making us paranoid. I only experience it once, after 6k miles, so I start wondering if they crammed down an "update," since I'm not accepting them ?

Good thinking. Maybe the option that you noted "looks good" (both 4) is enough of a difference to expect results.

Here's a good thread discussing the general concepts. Provides additional food for thought: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/302745-alignment-issues-after-lift.html

The uneven lift probably saves caster, is the reason why you're still in spec. Equal amounts of front and rear lift can actually have even less caster. Consensus that 2" of lift up front calls for UCAs. However, less front lift will make it easier for the alignment shop to keep you close to...

Good question. IFS alignment is a bit tricky:

Probably less caster than you had before. Doing some research on aftermarket front arms would probably find a set that allow you to have more caster without messing up anything else. I would recommend watching the Tinkerer's Adventure videos about front arms, because it's a research project to...

Is a 0.75" body lift needed for 34s to avoid flare-rubbing at full compression ? Or do you have to go up to 35s to need a small BL ?

Yes, over the years I've experienced a few shops trying to see if I don't know what a rear axle is. Even after I talk about it, they persist in the scam, almost like they think I'm guessing about my comments. Maybe their thought process is they don't want to waste their time with knowledgeable...

Body lift and JKS max tire clearance kit. For an IFS vehicle like Bronco, suspension should be optimized independently of tire clearance.

Wow, sorry that no one friendly was online this am. This time of year, everyone's outside. I'm still trying to decide what to do because we had a cold front blow through today. I suspect that a 1.5" body lift will almost be sufficient to clear 37s. If I'm wrong, then I hope others will...

x 2 That's a good choice, the 6100s have the best travel, and a 1.5" spring lift is small enough that you won't have a lot more uptravel than downtravel. Keeping those travel amounts close to equal improves articulation for overlanding. Better than a big suspension lift that reduces your...

For tire clearance, focus exclusively on body lift needed to fit the tires you want (and maybe/probably frame clearance kit for 37s). For suspension, aim to minimize lift, and instead focus on handling and ride quality. The concept is to maximize travel and articulation, so the IFS calls for...

Agreed, when I made my comments I was only thinking about the IFS. I'm under the impression that there's not much of an incremental advantage in having more rear travel than front travel. The ideal set-up for crawling and overlanding will be to maximize front travel. So I would actually...

Without converting to a long-travel set-up, there's not a big difference in travel between the best and worst shocks. For crawling, try to keep uptravel and downtravel relatively equal. That means not a lot of lift (if you're not going to a long-travel set-up). Something like Bilstein 6112...

The front and rear spacers differ. They're available in different amounts of lift, including small amounts.

Awesome, but I'm not getting a hit from their search function. What do you type to get their 11342 ?

Disappointing to see such iconic and storied brands failing, Jeep, Ford, Nissan, Mitsu We're going to be left with bland

Diameter of 34" sounds plausible on clearing crash bars. When does the 0.75" body lift become a requirement? Is it with tire diameter of 34" or 35" ?

Form follows function. 2dr is more fun, because of lighter weight and shorter wheelbase. Therefore, aesthetic imbalance is beautiful.
