Review on 🚙 Rough Country 3-inch Lift Kit for 1996-2002 4-Runner 4WD | N3 Shocks | Suspension System (Model: 77130) by Justin Munajj

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Basic but not without a few minor issues

Adapted to 4runner Sr5 2002 2wd. They say it doesn't fit, but it fits. I connected it to new racks. I ran into an issue that some other people had: the mounting screws didn't quite match the spacers, and I also had to rotate the post 180° to install it. These issues are not addressed in their instructions or videos. To fix the screw mismatch, I drilled slightly larger holes in the spacer. Just enough to fit them and no more. Turning the rack wasn't difficult. The bottom bracket wasn't aligned like it should, but I used a tire tool to rotate it around a bit. Those were the only fit issues I had. I had a few other hiccups. I didn't get any instructions with the kit and the video on their website is so short and fast that you don't really get much use out of it. Although there is an extended version on YouTube. I contacted Rough Country via chat and they gave me a PDF with instructions so no harm or foul. The other issue is minor, but the hits I got weren't flagged in any way. All videos, instructions and product photos have stickers on the shock absorbers. There were no decals in my kit. I have asked for delivery, but have not yet received any. Overall this is a great kit and a fairly basic setup is always a pleasure. The live chat option on their website worked surprisingly well and the staff seemed knowledgeable about their products (they said I didn't need to turn the meter but then checked again and agreed I did). i will buy it again Rough Country - I still want my stickers! LoLUpdate - After signing up for chat on their website I ended up with shock stickers at night! They're even inside one of those large 35" windshield/rear window decals! You can't tell what the big sticker is in my picture so I put the one from their website.
