As someone who is also shopping around for a lift kit, I have some advice for you and websites for you to check out.

First off, the question you asked has been asked many times on various forums like this one. Try the "Search" button and do some reading to see what other people have done.

As for websites, you can google lift kits to see the various manufacturers and suppliers but here is one site that helped me alot besides this one and t4r.org

www.4x4wire.com is very usefull but this page specifically.

http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/4Runner/tech/suspension/

That page will show you different types or lifts for the 1995 4Runner.

Basically, you need to decide how much you need/want to lift, how much money you're willing to spend and based on your reading of the forums, which company you'd like to use.

Me personally, I want to fit 33x12.5 inch tires also and I am not into the "hardcore" trail riding but the more moderate beginner stuff so I am going with this kit from TRDParts4U.com to give me about 2" of lift

http://www.trdparts4u.com/PD-4RUNNER....aspx?MakeID=1

Its Old Man Emu suspension parts with a set of SDORI ball joint spacers, then im going to buy a OME steering stabalizer and torsion bars to go with it.

Im still working out details with my wheel and tire combination to see what I can fit without rubbing. I've read on some forums that you need about 4 inches of back spacing to keep the tire a safe distance away from your upper control arms.

Anyways, I've written way too much so good luck with the research, you have alot of reading to do.
