1.25" budget boost possible?

OK i have a 94 runner that sags about 3/4" in the rear and looks like a dog dragging its legs . it pretty much only sees snow so I dont need to spend more than is necessary to get a 2.5" lift with BJ spacers and panhard spacer and w/e. Could I get away with a 2" coil spacer in the rear and crank the torsion bars an 1" or 1.5"? figuring it sags, the 2" would add to about 1.25-1.5" lift I am guessing? then crank a bit.. would it lose all flex and ride like a rock in the front? Has anyone made their own coil spacers? Do you need bump stop spacers when you run spacers in the back? Do the OME 2" lift coils ride at a full 2"? I'm new to IFS, just sold my 85 .

thanks a lot

Actually, 2" would probably level it out nicely - maybe a slight rake.

You can adjust the tbars to level it out if necessary - the small amount you will need (I'm thinking 0.5" or so) shouldn't affect the ride dramatically.

No you won't need any spacers, brake line extensions, etc - you're simply putting it back to stock height. You will need an alignment after doing these adjustments though.

saggy rear is no fun. Get a spacer, then crank the tbars if needed. There is no problem with that.
