Question I need advice and info on any 3" (body) lift for a 1999 4runner limited v6, please.

Can anyone here advise me on what I need to lift the body 3"? I installed the Revtek 3" susp. lift kit about 4 years ago. At that time nobody had any type of body lift for the 1999 4runner. I found one at 4crawler offroad. That's how I found this website. That website has a 3" body lift for around $200. I am ready to order right now. But a good friend of mine who is a total motor-gear/off-road truck/hotrod goo-reu told me to research the kit. This is the first he has seen one too, as he has been looking for the same kit for me for the last several years also. He read through the install instructions and he wants to confirm the simplicity of the install. The site did claim a total of 4 hours to install a 3" body lift. We both find that kind of quick for lifting a truck. Though my friend has his own shop and all the tools we need to do the install, it took us a day and a half to install the 3" Revtek suspension lift. With the body lift at 4crawler offroad (at least I think that is the name of the site), it comes with radiator brackets, bumper relocation brackets, transmission lever extensions, steering rod adapters, basically everything we thought of that would be obvious to lifting the body. After lifting the body you have to adjust the transmission levers, adjust the radiator, bumpers and so on. The spare tire location obviously needs to be modified, if not relocated. It's seems like it would take a day or two. Now, I am not dogging their time-frame claim. It has very descriptive install instructions, with photos. I am hoping someone on this site has either purchased the same lift kit or one like it and can let me in on their own personal experience installing the kit.

Please, anyone who has done this, can you please point me into the right direction.

Thankyou,

Paul
