  • In this episode of junk bucket garage we see what the cheapest 3 inch lift kit from Amazon looks like on a 97 four runner. I try not to hurt myself but it doesn’t always work out that way. I also want you through a quick and easy air-conditioning system check, and charge. gotta stay cool on these 100 degree days.

    Don’t forget to change the lower ball joints there the Achilles tendon on the third GEN also change out your radiator or it will corrupt your transmission cooling lines run through the transmission.

    Man I’ve installed 3 of these kits and 2 things I’ve noticed. You don’t have to undo the upper ball joint and I never had to use spring compressors🤷🏼‍♂️

    Enjoyed the video in Indiana - want to do the same lift on my 98 SR5! Only had it about a year but doing the timing belt and belts and water pump - dodged a bullet - didn’t break but it should have - looked bad but I love my girl !

    Jack under the opposite brake drum helps to torque the axle to get the spring in.

    • @junkbucketgarage
      @junkbucketgarage  2 роки тому

      if all the ball joints are good i’d think a spring has failed. inspection using both sides for comparison should find something. good luck. thanks for watching

    How did you address the rear driver side sag? I installed this exact kit, my driver side has about a 7/8 inch sag , very noticeable

    • @junkbucketgarage
      @junkbucketgarage  Рік тому +1

      i was fortunate to not have this happen. i guess it’s from the gas tanks wieght on that side. before going to deep, maybe try swapping the springs side to side? i know some sping kits have two different weights of spring just for this. good luck.

    Technically it's only 2.5 inch in the front and 3 in the rear. I have the same kit for about 3yrs now and finally upgraded to a true 3inch lift which requires some more parts in the front end.
