Hey Cap,

The spacer is like the ones you would find for a 4Runner spacer lift. The spacer goes in between the top of your spring and the suspension top mount.

In the picture above, Fourwheeler did not do their homework and came up with a very unrealistic way to lift the front.

Hi Dan.....

I would think that the spacer below would provide a better ride and not be stiffer as you mentioned.

But what do I know...

No, you're right Cap... Having stock ride quality is great!
I meant cutting and rewelding the stock shocks was a lil crazy

You have one of the nicest GX's I have seen to date. I really like the sport package.

Jason, I sent you and email through your site, but could you PM me some details on these?


And to the OP - can you provide any more info on what you did to the rear brackets?

Still here Jason.

OffsetZ33- The front spacers are from Jason B of Burtmanindustries.com

the rear has gone through a change. I originally had little brackets to make the rear bags think they're too low. But since then i have ditched the brackets and just extended the mini tie-rod joints (as they are adjustable).
