95 4runner lift questions
Ok so i found these springs http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-91-...spagenameZWDVW
Will theses give my 4runner a 2in lift in the rear? Could i buy the fronts and do a 2in in the front as well? I'm trying to go cheap as i had $3000 for a lifted truck and bought this yota 4runner. I drove it for 3 days and headgaskets went now im down to $400 for a lift so any help would be appreciated

for the front, get some ball joint spacers, there arent any springs up front, just torsion bars. Might need longer shocks and a LSPV bracket.
Search for the cruiser coil thread. And theres a sticky up top called "2nd 4runner lift guide"

Well i did that and i see multiple lift heights out of lc stock springs, thats why i was curious if i could get the 2in ones and have atleast 4inches of lift
As for bj spacers, if i lift the rear 4in I can only find 1-1/2" bj spacers. Are there any 3in ones or can i combine two 1-1/2in ones or would putting the 2in lc springs on the back just be ridiculous

Do not try to make BJ spacers above 1.5" work unless you do a correspondingly large differential drop. Anything more than 1.5" up front is pushing the front CV joints to extreme angles which will likely break them.
Should add that 1.5" is a "safe" BJ spacer size and if you want to use larger spacers for more lift, you should look into a differential drop to minimize the CV angles. If you go more than 2-2.5" lift (combined BJ spacer and diff-drop), a "bracket lift" kit is probably a safer way to go.
*this is my opinion.

lc coils
You should get 3 to 4 inches of lift in the rear with landcruiser coils. You can pick them up used on this site for from thirty to sixty dollars. Check the classifieds here, there were two sets for sale last week. On a 2nd gen 4runner, the cruiser coils in the rear and BJ spacers in the front put you about level or just slightly higher in the rear depending on your torsion barsetting. Look at the post for 97 lc coils for sale, by Van...he has some interesting info.

If i got the ones off here from a guy, and bought bj spacers and a lspv bracket and a diff drop set of 1" could i run 35x12.50 or 33x12.50?
33's are all i need but i plan on taking this thing boggin and stream crossing in the up.
Also does anyone have any information on bumpers with winch mounts and light bars? Any info would be appreciated
