I didnt want to start another lift thread because we have soo many so ill ask here.

What is the best/least expensive 2-2.5 lift? I know everyones opinions about the spacers and im leaning towards OME. My (rather my parents) budget is under $300 that not including install, which ill do myself with some buddies(raceshop)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


so do spacers up front, ome's in the back, if you really need to stick to that budget($300)

ride wont be fantastic or stock, but it will be fine. i never understood why people would lift if they wanted the exact same ride!

it'll work just fine, youre far from the first to do that... heck im gonna do that myself!

id go cornfeds up front (cheap, great rep)... then get the OME's from a seller on YT (one of the toyota sellers)
Can anyone here help me out with what i need to do to get this together before april 3rd? Just where to purchase and whatnot and what specifically i need?

any help appreciated!

What kind of rig do you have? A Taco or a Runner? You'll have 10 different people posting here and you have at least 10 different opinions on which lift you should get.

I assume you have a 3rd gen 4runner. If so, look here...
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61223

try being more specific with your next question. oh and use the blinking yellow search button before hand.

and according to your first post, it looks as if you registered/joined twice. What thread did you pull that quote from?

No, that's not true. I just ordered some OME 891's for my rear from Strapp22 (trdparts4u.com) for $132 shipped and you can buy a spacer for the fronts like Lee said. I don't know what Cornfed's cost but it can't be more than $100. There you go, less than $300...
