1" or 2" body lift for a 2nd gen 5-speed?

I'll pass on any suggestions on improving the spacers to SDORI.

Is your price the same as SDORI's? If I bought a body lift and BJ spacers at the same time, would shipping be less? I need some convincing material for the wife!
Thanks

I guess I sound strange, but a good example would be when I park next to "stock" 4Runners; you really can't tell a difference unless you know what you are looking for.
I would prefer that the average dude/dudette be able to tell my rig is lifted. Dumb reason really.

In my case I didn't think I needed it and don't expect to go bigger than the 31's any time soon if at all. But lets admit it, our plans change all the time. Also, I wanted my sliders up as high as possible. I had those mounted today by Schaeffer and he kept saying "man this is sooo much easier with the BL". That reminds me of some other thread somewhere on the board that made the point that other mods may be easier with a bit more room underneath. (headers come to mind) So now I have higher slider attachment, better approach and departure angles, and can go to 33's easily if I ever decide to do that down the road.

Well I ordered a pair of ball joint spacers and a gear shift spacer from Roger Brown but I'm still undecided on lift height.
If I have to lower the radiator to center it on the fan does than mean drilling and tapping new holes in the body or have you guys just drilled a hole and then stuck a nut on the back of the bolt that passes through the radiator?
How about the electric fans. Can you buy them with a radiator? My radiator has been seeping through a pinhole leak in the top for almost two years now and I've been putting off replacing it. Is Flex-o-lite the company that makes the electric fans? Anybody got a link?

Flex-a-lite FLX-165 is what we use.
I got mine at Summit.

I make bolt-on radiator relocation brackets, see the instructions for information:
http://www.4Crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...ToyotaRadiator
You can get replacement radiators, the bolt right into the stock holes. Modine and GoDan are two popular brands, and there are a few on-line radiator sites you can order them from.
FlexALite makes good fans, try their web page, I have a link to it on my old FAL install page: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTri...tml#FanControl

Roger, What about us coil spring guys...If you added rear coil springs I could make you a one stop shop for all my lifting needs!!! One call, good customer service, and reliable delivery time. Just dreaming out loud.

Typically just need to adjust the shifter a little for a 1" lift:
