Build Up help/info needed
Part 1: After messing with the coolant, or lack of coolant, looks like I have leaking head gasket on the number 2 cylinder. After pulling the plug, it had a red tinge to it. So, looks like I am going to need to replace the head gaskets soon. I am also thinking of adding a TRD Super Charger while I have the engine apart. Would the S/C be very beneficial with the engine having over 110K miles on it? Anything else I should do while I have it apart? I think the timing belts were already replaced not too long ago. Where or what are the best head gaskets for the engine? Will Felpro be good enough if I add a S/C?
Part 2: While looking under the 4runner, I noticed that one of the sway bar body mount bushings was shot, who has the Polyurethane ones? I also want to add a 1" body lift in the near future, who has that? I would like to purchase the sway bar bushings and body lift together if possible, less hassle and probably save a couple of bucks off of shipping.

Couple of suggestions. If you want to find online sources for things like urethane bushings and lifts, Google works great. Also, maybe pick up some magazines and check out the advertisers.

After lookng thru previous posts and such a concerning the S/C, I think I will not add it on. In the future, I will re-gear the 4runner for a lower crawl ratio and better on road peformance. So what abou tthe head gasket replacemnet? anything I need to worry about before proceeding? Besides making sure I DON'T mix up the cam shims.

I checked Google and such for urethane mounts and such and there was only one one place I found that had the sway bar bushings, Northwest Offroad. No mention of any body lift for the 1999 4runner. Any other places?
