Hey Jackalope, Coach and other car experts about lift kits
Bofire:
:) What do you think about lift kits on 4X4's? Do they cause more/earlier wear? Are small lift kits (2-4inch) and medium tires, different than a 6 inch lift and Huge tires? Or is a guy better off to just leave it stock? Opinions please. I am not sure why it would matter but a Toyota 4Runner.

Tell us what truck you are referring to.

driving causes wear, don't be scared. I've had a 2" level and 34.5" tires on my f150 for 65k miles (has 81k now) and all the forums preach your ball joints will wear out quicker and it'll wear your cv joints in the axle shafts. my jeep comanche has between 6-7" of lift. my dad's 2005 ram has had a 4" lift nd 35s since new, about 130k on it. the bigger the lift, the bigger tires you'll want. at some point you'll have to regear to save the tranny and boost performance back to near stock. if your asking I'm betting it'll be a mall crawler and see no offroad where a lift and tires can sometimes help

Not all lift kits are created equal either. How much are you wanting to lift your 4Runner? I couldn’t stand the stock stance, so I installed a 3/1 leveling kit on my Tundra.

2" Leveling kit on 2015 Ram 1500. Been running wheel spacers for chains for last 6 months. 90k miles no problems. Lifts done right only are no issues other than reduced mileage which can be significant with the larger tires and wind resistance.
