BJ lifted 1988 truck

Blackulua · 05-07-2007, 10:01 PM

Got everything from 4crawlers.
1" body lift,1.5 BJ spacers,diff drop kit,stabilizer bar drop kit,bumper lift,3" lift rear shackles + add a leafs.I am able to fit my 15 inch MT classic II rims and BFG AT 33x12.5 tires and turn with ease.
I just removed my valence to clear the front.I used the longer Pro-Comp shocks in the front and will later get either the Bilstein 10" travel or Pro-Comp shocks in the rear.I also have 4:88 precision gears front and back.I will work on the motor later and finish up the exhaust first.

That's exactly how I want my runner to sit when I decide to lift it. Nice!

I have an 87 like yours, just wondering how much $$ you ended up having in the lift parts for that project. I can't decide if I want to go with what you did or try a 3" BL.
Did you install the parts yourself? Wondering how difficult your parts were to put on.
Thanks,
Duane

in the bottom picture it looks like the passanger side lower control arm is at a steeper angel....Maybe its just me did you have the torsion bars adjusted and do an alignment already?

I ended spending about $375 total on the 4crawlers lift with shipping.Its just a lot of time to put everything together.My 4:88 front and back gears came from my other truck that I swap with 4:56 gears from a V6 auto 4runner.I put everything within a week after work.I found a broken boot CV axle and a broken ball joint.All of that got changed before moving on.My MT rims $400 I had it for a while and picked up the 4 tires at Costco for $640 installed.
I decided to lift the truck because I saw my friends 4runner had those ball joint & 3" body lift.
