Hey guys just thought id post up a few pics of my new project. Got tired of people asking if I was driving my moms car, and also tired of smashing up the running boards going over rocks, so i decided to lift it.

The lift includes 4runner 2.5" leveling spacers in the front and my own adjustment to the rear ride height sensor brackets in the back (if anyone wants to know how to do this just pm me). Since the nissan hub is much smaller than the toyota I had to use some 1.5" spacers between the rotor and the wheel giving the truck a wider stance. Ride quality got a little stiffer but im not complaining, i think its too soft from the factory. Now the car rides and handles more like my dads 2008 landcruiser.

Pretty content with how the car drives on and off road. Ive been doing some 4wheeling and it goes everywhere my friends go in their wranglers.

Btw, does anyone know if 4runner rock sliders will fit on the GX?

Nice pics - good looking scenery!! Your truck looks very capable!! I assume you did some research before you picked the Nissan wheels - are there any other manufacturers with the same offset as the GX for a fit?

Thanks for sharing the pics, it certainly looks like a good time. I would not mind taking your GX off roading just to see what mine can do. The lift just seems a bit much. Maybe it's just the tires appear to small in the pics for that high of a lift. Not bashing just not my taste. As I always say, to each their own. Now go beat the snot out of it some more!

Thanks guys. As soon as these tires wear out I plan to pick up a set of pro comp 7005s with some mud terrain tires. But Im chang and dont wanna buy new tires until these are worn out lol

Does anyone know if a 4runner winch bumper would fit on a gx? I tried emailing Shrockworks and even they didnt know if it could be done.

I had an Armada and tried to fit the studded snows on using the other set of wheels Nissan I had. As you said, the wheel pattern is the same but the center bore is significantly smaller on the Nissan. I would be worried about how the weight is carried on the hub vs using the spacer as well as whether there is enough bite on the lugs since they would now be carrying a much greater percentage of the load.

Truck looks good.

X2 on the comment about the risks of running these spacers. You're putting a ton of load on the lugs, which htey aren't designed for. The hub is supposed to carry the weight, not the lugs.
