4Runner Lift (UNSPONSORED) KDSS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- My 5th gen Toyota 4Runner has a suspension lift and in this video I go through every single part including the KDSS Spacer Kit that was involved to get the 4runner sitting how it is today. The lift is a Dobinsons 1" to 3.5" IMS Lift Kit Toyota 4Runner 2010-2023 - DSSKITIMS01. The tires on this Toyota are Yokohama Geolander X-AT and they are LT285/70R17. I am not a mechanic nor do I suggest you do any of this yourself. Consult a licensed mechanic before making any mods to your vehicle, especially when it comes to lift kits. Below are the links and details to every single part of this lift kit including all of the suspension. There is zero sponsorship in this video but worth noting that I am an Amazon affiliate.

Make sure you double check these links because things can change on the internet, especially if this video has been online for awhile.
Your channel is the shit. Keeping everyone on their toes we have no clue what the next video could be about lol. I always watch you deserve way more subscribers.
Blake my friend you an outlier and I love it! Everyone else gives me shit about not focusing on one topic….which in my mind is boring! You the best…thanks for the support! ✌️
I don’t have a 4Runner or have any aspirations of owning one but I still knew I’d like your video haha. Keep it up dude.
The production quality on your channel is insane. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks B! Appreciate that.
This is the crispiest audio I've heard in years! keep this amazing work up!
I had to sub, crispiest audio in town.
Melt my heart La Mesa! Us audio lovers are a rare species. I appreciate the love and will continue to strive for crispy.

Why is no one here talking about how you will NOT need to run wheel spacers with 285s on that wheel in order to avoid rubbing on the frame rail or suspension links... This is so bizarre. All he did was make it so that he absolutely WILL rub on the front bumper cover and the body mount behind the front wheel!
I think you’re right and wrong and that depends on what kind of conditions of driving. There’s really no “need” for the spacers but I definitely won’t be rubbing the front bumper cover or body mount. I just got back from Moab and happy to report that I didn’t break anything or experience any rubbing. No super hard core wheeling (because I had to drive home) but enough to know that it works great. It might be bizarre but it’s my bizarre and I love it ✌️
Subscribed! Hope you get closer to that basket ball. Also, got a TRD Pro sitting in the driveway… curious if there’s a kit that I can use to lift my truck but keep the fox shocks.
Check out Westcotts design preload kit
Awesome video and the overall quality blew me away. I hope you're already seeing a significant increase in subs!
Thanks Connor 👊
I'm installing my own lift kit next weekend. On the 30th. I'm using a rough country 3inch lift kit with freedom offroad UCA's and extended sway bar end links for the front and adjustable for the rear, diff drop kit and DR KDSS panhard bard correction kit. I might wait and save some money for the dobinsons rear upper and lower control arms.
I put BFGOODRICH ko2 265/70/17 a week after I got the 4runner 2 months ago so I guess I'm stuck with stock size tires for a while, till I get new 285's. Thank you for all the useful information for your vide. I'm subscribing to your channel! 🤟🔥
Awesome! Thanks for watching and writing!
Great video. I was debating on Dobinsons. How do you like em? Why did you pick them?
I love this setup, might try it on my 4th gen 4runner, new sub!
Thanks Fazzino 👊. Appreciate it.
Subscribed. I am 6 months into owning my 2022 TRD and iching for a lift eh. Crammed 275 70 R17 under it stock. Want to lift it and take the rake out for sure. Maybe in another 40K miles I can upgrade to 285s
Subscribed so JR can get that ball …. Nice ride man
@@CamBurgerAndCheese let’s go!!!!! Thanks
Hope u get those subs. This video is worth it.
Subbed buddy ! Did you do anything in regards to correcting the rear track bar ?
@@2WheelShenanigans let’s go!!!!! Just the KDSS kit….nothing extra.
I knew from the moment I heard you speak that you are Canadian 😍 nice videos ❤
My 4Runner is my wife’s as well and I am building it with her in mind 💯
background scenery is beautiful.
He kicks off the vid poppin a Nicorette. Nice!
Helps me focus 😂 😂 😂
I subscribed my friend. 2021 4RUNNER here. Thanks for the great info!
Thanks for the sub!
Where are the River photo you are parked next to ?
Most important question- did you get you’re kid a baske ball? Thanks for the content! Very useful!!!
You’re very welcome! And no, I think he’ll be married with children by the time I get to 50k subscribers 😂
It’s a slow grind
Love the content new sub🫡
Yes!!!!!! Let’s go. Thank you.
thank you so much. I may still get drunk and buy all the shit for a long travel and 35s. but im glad I have a thorough video for a good lesser option to compare.
😂
The God Lord tells us to ask and and we shall receive. I like your style , bro, and I'm subscribing for your success and your son's basketball!
@@chavotapia3168 you are the best!!!! Appreciate you.
lol, subbing to get that basketball for the boy. Comedy. “Let’s get back to lifting”
Love it!! The child might have grandchildren by the time he gets that ball but every sub matters! Appreciate it.
Awesome video!! What was the part number for the rear springs?
Yeah Randy! great vid
Nice video and lift looks awesome on there! hope u hit that 50k for the basketball, also how did u get to 5" front with the 302 spring is only 2.5", guessing u just spun up the adjustable strut , those struts got way more threads than i thought
Love me some dobinsons, nice video with straight information. Which dobinsons springs are you running in the rear?
Edit* nvm saw in the comments hahah
Nice save 🤙
I’m a fan of this video and you’re easy to listen to but I think the basketball comment rubbed me the wrong way because you spent $2500 + tires on a 4Runner upgrade but are asking for subs for your kid to buy a basketball. I’m sure it’s in the budget man, just ask us to subscribe because you need the passive income, want to have more financial freedom, whatever your real goal is. 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video
@@KleberLeaf the basketball business was a joke Kleber 😂
I appreciate you watching and commenting 👍
Ouch…does it hurt to be that thick mentally?
5” lift means you have 0” of down travel up front, and with 4” out back your rear shocks are topping out. It looks cool, but from a performance standpoint you are all compression travel that you are not even able to access. I’d love to hear a technical explanation that shows I'm wrong.
@@enjoybendlife it’s not a 5” lift. Perhaps I did a poor job of explaining the 5” but what I tried to say is that the front fender is currently 5” higher from the ground than when the 4runner was stock. The lift is about 3” on the front and 2 3/4 on the back. Put on the bigger tires and that’s how the front fender is exactly 5” higher than stock.
@@RinkVideo that makes more sense! Thanks for clarifying that.
You need some more hashtags and possibly a new video title to help drive more views. This content and video are extremely helpful!!!! Great vid and humor.
Niall! You’re right. What should I title it? Gonna look at the hashtags now.
@@RinkVideoKDSS lots of people looking at tips and examples of lifting their 4runner with KDSS like myself. I just randomly came across it. Exact same lift and accessories I ordered. But I also am installing the doctor KDSS pandhard bar correction kit.
More 4runner vids!
I heard you mention everything except which rear springs you went with…….
Great video! how are you liking the setup after being broken in? Also just a heads up. I spoke to Dobinbsons and apparently you can not run long travel shocks in the rear with non long travel springs.
Darn I screwed that up in the video!!!
I like the setup. Although I have some play in the front axle right now making a little bit of noise. But only in 4WD at highway speed. I’m sure the lift is not solely responsible for it but definitely doesn’t help.
Thanks for catching that and thanks for watching!
Are the OME rear coil lean correctors necessary? Or whatever they are called
New sub here! I have no weight on my 4runner and plan to keep it that way other than a light weight rook rack. I love the level look of the options you picked for this. I have two questions. 1. Do you recommend the same shocks and springs if I am running no weight? 2. Shouldn't the rear OME correction spacer go on the driver side due to more lean?
PARTY NEW SUB!!!!! Thanks Matt. I can't believe you're the first person to ask that question about the spacer. If it was me doing the work, I 100% would have put the spacer on the driver side because it seems counterproductive. However, the fine folks at Krave Automotive are masters of Toyota so I simply trust them. I suspect is equalizes the pressure of the KDSS. Anyway, I love the ride of this lift even when I have zero weight in the back and it still looks sweet with that tiny bit of rake so yes I'd recommend. Thanks for popping in here! I appreciate it.
@@RinkVideo Thanks a lot for the insight. I’m not a fan of any rake so I’ll probably go 3 in the front and 1.5 in the back.
@@matthewoneill86 awesome. I’m interested so let me know how it goes if you can ✌️
With wheel spacers- is there rub? Or do u need body mount chop? Did u do chop?
Just a little trim of the front fender. Near the end of the video
Did you have any rubbing with the geolanders even with the spidertrax wheel spacers?
I don’t know because I did everything at the same time. It was recommended to do the trim
What is your mileage like post lift? I have a Jeep and am thinking of getting a 4Runner, but just worry about the complexity of lifting a Toyota
I don’t really notice a difference to be honest.
Looks good!, is that calgary rust?
Indeed! More like Highway 1 rust. After seeing this footage I already have it torn apart and sanding/rustproofing and undercoating. 👍
@@RinkVideo ahhhh yes. You've got Krown spray locations in Alberta I believe. Got a video of your refresh?
@@covecarpentry frick I should have actually made a video but it's a PINA to shoot underneath there. I took alot of it down to bare metal with a variety of wire wheels etc and they sprayed it with Dupli-Color Rust Barrier (expensive but awesome) and then some places I sprayed with a rubberized coating. The ProForm Rubberized Gravlguard is such an amazing product. I should actually do a video about rubberized undercoating to show how superior that ProForm product is. I wish I could get it on amazon and it's a shame that it's hard to find. Seriously this stuff is 5-star: proformproducts.com/products/pro-guard-rubberized-gravlguard-2/
And finally, I sprayed the snot out of everything with FLUID FILM rust and corrosion prevention because I love that stuff. I normally apply it in the fall and it lasts the winter. (PS - I bought that 4runner second hand so I'm playing with the cards I was dealt)
Ahhh you went all at it. Nice to see. And yes, we love fluid film over here too.
Hope you can find a teal basketball once you get to 50k
You a genius Danny. Teal it is! Let’s go!
I'll subscribe AND buy your kid a basketball, if you admit diff-drops are stupid...! 😄 LMFAO
This video was taken up at Spray Lakes ? I lived in YYC for ~17 yrs, but in Red Deer now.
I drive a white '19 4Runner TRD O/R with bronze wheels, 285/65/18 DuraTracs and 2.5" fr / 1.5" rear lift... Mine, not my wifes !
✌🏻
Lolololol ✌️- thanks watching and bringing some fun to the comment section.
What drew you to Dobinsons?
Recommended by the shop. I’m not a hard-core wheeler so didn’t want to break the bank on overkill. Also didn’t want to go low budget. Middle of the road I guess.
@@RinkVideo The reason I’m asking is because I’m looking at Bilstein 6112s on the front and Bilstein 5160s in the rear for my 2012 FJ Cruiser. But more and more overlanders are going with Dobinsons
@@RinkVideoi wouldn't say they are middle of the road. I get what you're saying, but they are just priced very well for a high end product. They are much better than the 6112.
What rear springs ?
C59-325 Dobinsons
Just curious why not go with the 675v.
I have a big-ass bike rack on the 2” hitch that gets pretty darn heavy when it’s loaded up. Are those 675v not for a light load?
I currently run the 675v with the Lt dobinsons and it’s light load to 200lbs max
Also the 325 spring is only 2.25" lift, did u use a spacer also?
Throw in a football as well...🏈
Yes!!! 🙏
Tires toooo wide. Looks not fitting the 4R classiness
Ask and you shall receive. Sub’d.
Love the scenery
Sick! Thank you!
At first I thought you were Scottish.
