Well he shouldn't have to worry about links on a first gen runner. So here is a link to a killer 2nd gen runner on leaves all around that should give you an idea. I think he said he raised the about 3" or so.

your last sentence seems to contradict your first:
I'm afraid it isn't possible to lift the gas tank on a 2nd gen 4Runner. The coil spring suspension takes up a lot of room. Specifically the passenger rear upper control arm prevents the tank from being mounted any higher BL or no BL. You'd have to clearance the tank.

You have to post up a detailed thread, really. I'd much rather do something like this than spend 500$ on the tank I'm looking at. That money can go a long way towards other mods.

For now. I haven't gotten to any trails where the IFS was holding me back. I enjoy the need to actually have skill to drive a trail, rather than point and shoot.
Eventually, there will be an FJ80 HP front axle in there, that is currently collecting dust in my garage.

Get that thing finished and on the trail. I want to see where the added rear articulation will take you.
