04 Land Cruiser lifts? I'm a new owner

I bought my buddies 2004 Land Cruiser with 70k miles on it. My last 3 vehicles have been 3/4 ton turbo diesel trucks. I love the land cruiser but I want a little bit bigger stance without losing the factor ride if possible? It just looks like a mom mobile to me right now. Any suggestions would help

04 Land Cruiser, cranking torsion bars?

I am new to the world of Toyota and just bought my first land cruiser. I want to raise the front end a little to make the stance more level. I did it to my last three chevy 2500 HD trucks with no problems. Can I do it to my LC?

Is there a Land Cruiser only forum?

I just bought my first Toyota, it's a Land Cruiser. I come from a long line of Chevy 2500HD's and have lots of Land Cruiser questions but most of the truck and SUV post are about Tundra's, Sequoia's and other Toyota's other than Land Cruisers.

front mud flaps for 04 LC

I want to remove the running boards from my 04 LC but I heard they protect your rocker panels and you should add front mud flaps. Where can I get some? I have been looking on line but have had little luck. I see a lot of universal ones but I know what that means, they won't fit and will look like crap. I want factory ones that bolt right in if possible?

Then you are just out of luck because you won't find any more or better tech on LCs than the link I gave you.

land cruisers go by series, you have a 100 series land cruiser try searching for that on Ih8mud that should get you started. Wabbit is right ih8mud is the site for land cruisers.

yes, iH8MUD is the best for Cruiser info. not quite as active in the 100 series forum, but plenty of quality info to be found. they also have one of those genius "search functions" as well.

for what you asked about your cruiser - you'll be able to lift the front about 2.5" MAX with t-bar adjustment and a diff drop. suspension options are fairly limited for now, but there are signs of improvement for the future - especially now that the # of vendors for armor has almost tripled in the past 2 years.
