99 Suspension
First of all some of you may remember me from about 6 months ago when I had my 1996 4runner 2wd. I totaled that truck in a rearend colition with a car that had no brake lights. Now finally i got what i really wanted a 1999 4runner Sr5 4wd ill try and post some pics soon.
Anyways, I know there are alot of threads out there about third gen suspention but none seem to answer my question. I am running 285/75/R16 BFG tires on stock suspention right now (the running boards are off so no rubbing) I would like to fit 35 inch tires and have a wide stance. I was thinking of doing the sway-a-way race runner suspention in front with downey coils in back and having a 3 inch body lift. I would also use 1.5 wheel spacers. Is anyone running this setup and how do they like it or is there a better or more cost effective setup out there. Let me know any info you have to offer about 3rd gen suspetion, all help is appreciated.

Cost effective: Revtek 3" suspension lift and 3" body lift.
Definetly somethign I wouldnt do... but, you could run 35s. Your most likely going to wan to re-gear as well. 35's will be slow from the get-go .
You could also just do a 6" suspension lift...trailmaster, fabtech and tuff country make drop braket lifts . but are $1500

Well, just to let you know... I am doing a Trailmaster install on my 3rd gen tomorrow actually. I'll have more pictures, but, here is my current thread about it now.

I'll be doing a leaf spring swap in the next month or two, but, until then I'll be using OME rear coils + 2" cornfed spacers.

If it's your daily driver, stay away from wheel spacers
