Lifting the 4th Generation Toyota 4Runner - IronMan 4x4 Stage 2 Lift - Full Install

Before I can install the Pro Comp Wheels and 33 inch BFG KO2's, I need to get this 2.5 inch lift installed. This lift comes from IronMan 4x4 and includes the front struts assembly, rear springs, shock absorbers, upgraded upper control arms, rear sway bar end links, and an adjustable panhard bar. I also rebuilt the lower control arms, replacing the front bushings, rear bushings, and lower ball joints. Upgraded steering tie rod ends wrap up the parts list that I threw at this thing. All in all, this drives like a dream now. The 4th generation Toyota 4Runner has so much more clearance and the steering feels brand new.
