Understandable for the fronts, but for the rears too? With the 80 series coils they are 7 wrap sorry I should've clearified that. 2" still SR5? or 3"-4"?

Thanks for the help BTW.

Thought I would add my old 4 runner
This how it sat on 33's with cruiser coils 1.5" ball joint spacers and a 1.5" Body-lift.







It was a fairly good combo and rubbing became a non issue with the body-lift



flex in the front wasn't too bad or down travel with ball spacers.

well you really only lift the front 1.5" from the original height, because your first fixing the 1.5" of sag, and then lifting it anther 1.5"
and your welcome

something people don't realize about the 4runner butt sag is that the rear fender is actually 1.5" lower on the body than the front. Check it our for yourselves, compare it to the otehr body lines. Just gives the illusion on sag. But yess some of th rearr worn springs do sag a bit, maybe .5" or so, but the fender difference just exagerates the sag.

^^ ya i noticed that today

Would you mind appending with real prices for those real kits? I think it's great to get all the kits in one place but without prices it's hard for someone to make a decision.

Check out each company website for prices! its not much more than IFS lifts. and well worth it! Price varies between 400-2k and also depends on what you get from the kit

I was looking into 2" BJ Spacers for my 88 Pickup, I can clear my 33x10.50s no problem, but since shes a street queen () I wanted to have that little more lift. I was wondering if there are and problems with the Toytech Spacers, and the CV joint, with the changed angles and whatnot. Thanks!

^^ no you'll be fine

hmmmmm, I don't know. 2" is a tall ball joint spacer. Unless he lowers his torsion bars quite a bit, he is going to run the risk of pushing his CV's past there range of travel. Even more so than 1.5" BJ spacers.

nice write up i dont own or plan on owning a newer runner but this is a great write up

wii_tarded

aaarrrrrgggghhhh! that's a lot of info. Geez. I have been trying to find moderate lifts for my runner, but it is also a dd, and what ever I use, I would need to be able to install it in a weekend. (with limited tools, no lift) add to the problem, the po dropped the front pass. side into a ditch and now the whole front corner doesn't line up. That worries me about doing a body lift. I have heard of using steel pipe cut to length to do a body lift, but I also know you get what you pay for. I am not looking to go extreme, just a little lift. HELP>

Just did a 4crawler 2" BL with auto drop down bracket i under 3 hours (had to cook dinner for the kids) Hi lift jack, some wrenches and sockets!!!

Doing BJ spacers and panhard drop down bracket friday/sat and FJ 80 coils and 4 new shocks today.
Could all be done easily in 1 day, retains DD status and gets 5"+ of lift.
4crawler 2" BL $179 with bracket and shipping
BJ spacer 1.5" + panhard drop bracket $174 shipped
FJ80 coils $50 from JK yard
Shocks pro comp 4wpw $120

This adds a ton of flex to the rear and allows the front to move a fair bit better, not a SAS by any means! Id never use a SAS to its potential more "look what I have" if anything so i cant justify it at this point!

Ok guys I need some help. I drive a completely stock 1995 4runner. I was wantin to upgrade the suspension a little. I dont need any kinda spectacular suspension. This is my daily driver so I was just wanting like 1" to 3" of lift. Any suggestions on the most economic way to get 1" to 3" of lift. Also... what is an adequate tire size? I have 31x10.5 right now.

SR5

1.5 inch ball joint spacers with land cruiser coils, with 33x10.50 tires

cbuck

thanks. with the "option 3" you were talkin about, would i need to do anything to the leaf springs?

woodendude

I've ordered this kit
http://toyteclifts.com/index.php?pag...mart&Itemid=53
and am now looking at shocks, I'm thinking Bilsteins, with the 2" bj spacers which of these do I want, or what other shocks should I be looking at?


Bilstein 5125 10" Shock
Bilstein 5125 12" Shock

SR5

if you have a 95 4runner, you should not have leaf springs, i think you ment shocks, and yes you should get some procomp ES9000s

SR5

Bilstien are the besy shocks you can buy,but thier not cheap so if you have the money go with them, id go with Procmop ES9000s

cbuck

so get the pro comp shocks instead of the old man emu shocks listed in the "option 3"? thanks for your help. im new to the whole scene.
