Cruiser coils = how much lift???

How much lift do land cruiser coils add? Would it look good with 31' or 32'? Also what kind of shock do you use with them and would it look good if you only cranked the t bars in the front to the max??? I need new shocks and rear coils but I dont want to get bigger than 32' but i still want a little lift. Im hard to please. Thanks

cruiser coils with give you between 3-3.5" of lift. You will need either rancho RS5019 or RS5017 shocks with them and a panhard drop bracket.
1.5" ball spacers will work good on the front.
I honestly think anything smaller than a 32x11.50 on a 2-3" lifted vehicle looks gay IMHO. I am running 33's and they look small on my runner.

I kinda want 35's now but with IFS it's a spin off for reliability if you run anything larger than a 33.

Would the cruiser coils look right without bj spacers? im at 15" with the tbars. I just dont know what the stock height is becuase my springs sag so bad.

I got about 3-3.5" of lift from them. I'm also using the ball joint spacers for the front. I'm running 33's and they look really good.

You'll want to look into the bj spacers. It'll look and ride much better.

you could just crank the torsion bars, but if you get the bj spacers, it will make it so the front isn't nearly as stiff.
