Just need some imput on my 92 runner
I just bought a "new" 1992 4Runner. I love it. its a solid truck. Power everything which i like cept that 3.0 and auto combo depresses me.
ANYWHO....
it has the 4Runner sag going on and a few mechanical things i need to do. Just want some input on what I've been thinking and researching.
also I'm 22 years old and trying to get married so i want a good mix of low price with high quality
This is not a trail rig, just a daily driver.

1. The rear sag:
Its got the normal sag going and that really bothers me cause my 3 trucks and 89 4Runner had no sag but these old coil overs are tired.
A. Now i've heard about these Rear spacer lift/leveling kits. They go under your stock springs to give it a little lift. (I'm thinking 2.5" rear with a 1.5" ball joint lift too)
B. Or I've heard about using heavy duty Land Cruiser coil overs. Haven't looked into those and i have no idea what year(s) they'd come off. But i heard they'd give about an 1 to 2 of rear lift. any input on this topic would be great.
C. And your ideas......go.
2. Ball joint spacers:
I don't want a huge full IFS lift (been there done that). I just want a little extra bump. I'm eying the 1.5" spacers. Maybe bigger tires in the future?
A. First off at BJ spacers even a good idea?
B. How do they work when replacing my stock BJs with some fresh ones. (a BJ install link work be nice)
C. How is the alignment issues? Are my coworkers going to hate me when i ask them to align it? What else do i need to do get the lift other than just install the spacers?
here is the link to what I was thinking about buying.

or
http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...ngSpacer.shtml
Now, i was thinking this would be a good time to replace my shocks too. right?
Sorry for all the question but i don't just want to jump into this to fast. Any input is good input.
Thanks,
Alex

Also, i didn't search much but is there a curtain shock i will need or should get for my "lift"?
is the a curtain length of shock for a 1992 4runner?
I assume these will work? Are the front and back the same length?

Sorry for all the dumb questions.
