2003-2023 Toyota 4Runner ReadyLIFT SST Lift Kit 3 inchFront/2 inch Rear | 69-5060

This lift kit seemed to be great, packaging was decent and the instructions were phenomenal. (I am a certified Mercedes Technician to give some creditability to my review) the issue I have with this kit for the 2018 4runner is the spacer kit for the front skid plate. There must be a change in the slid plate design causing it to need longer spacers to clear the diff spacer bushing set up. To install this it literally bends the skid plate otherwise the bushings/extended bolts never contact and torque properly. The issue with making these just a longer bushing and not adjusting the rear plate is you basically will make and your front skid plate a catching point if you back up on high terrain, in turn the proper way to correct this is longer spacers for all skid plate mounting points. Second issue is this kit will work with stock rear shocks (kind of) I would not do any off roading without getting longer rear shocks as the stock ones bottom out in travel even over speed bumps when coming off the bump. It wouldve been nice to know rear shocks should be purchased at the same time with this kit. And lastly, I reached out directly to Ready lift and they were most definitely willing to communicate with me, HOWEVER their solution after multiple polite emails was for me to find spacers on my own as after talking to their “engineers” they didn’t have spacers that could fix the issue nor were they willing to “engineer” 1/2” longer corrective parts for a mis design in their kit. In the end its a decent kit that needs tweaks for model year changes. The instructions are phenomenal and contact is great but in the end if you leave me with a kit with issues how can I support your product?
