Serious Lift Question

I put a Daystar spacer lift and 285-75-16's on my 96 runner....

The fact that it is my daily driver and does what i need it to do on the trails i am for the most part happy with it. But, every now and then i get the tires to rub in the fenders, and i am trying to decide how to lift it another 1-2 inches to rid myself of the rub.

My runner is 10 years old and has 150k or so on it so replacing all four springs and front struts is prolly a good idea(replaced rear shocks when spacer lift was installed). So replacing them with something that will give me 1-2 inches is what i'm hoping to do. I know a 2 inch body lift would do what i need but i don't really want to do that when i know i could use new springs anyways.

I was thinking of doing the Performance Products springs and with a new set of struts in the front. But, i was told that the PP springs don't sit level and would not ride good with the preload part of the spacer lift.

cost of that is around $500 which sounds like i could fit it in my budget.



My other idea is doing tundra coils and OME or LC's in the rear. But i'm not sure how much i would gain with that over the spacer lift, or even with keeping the spacer lift in. I know that i would have to find those used to stay in my $500 budget range.

Just wondering on what some of you guys have tried and experienced with this stuff.

Thanks
Tron

hmm, dont know how much more you really want to lift your front for a dependable daily driver, body lift would help for sure

you will gain a ton of performance over the spacers by using the tundra/lc setup. might not lift it much more but the ride and performance will be a huge gain.
