BL on a 99 4runner

Hey, Yotatech
Well I decided that I wanted to get a body lift for my truck. Im talking like a 3 maybe a 4 inch lift. I wanna get high in the air just not on a suspension lift.
And yes I did search for this but couldnt find anything.

Can anyone tell me of a place to get good cheap body lifts?

Thanks
-Mark

3" BL is a maxium... I wouldn't go higher than 2" though. Any more and you'll be needing to do more modifications. Definetly get through 4crawler, they've got everything. Or check out wabfab.org....I think they carry full kits too.

Also, plenty of information in the Tacoma/4runner forum:

Just search for body lift I'm sure a million things pop up for your reading enjoyment.

I wouldn't go higher than 2". It's what I run and I plan on getting rid of it whenever I go solid axle. Are you planning on installing this yourself? If so, do you know how to extend the brake lines, put in a steering shaft extension, etc. and all the other supporting mods for the body lift?

Also, what size tire are you going to go to? Staying on a stock sized tire is going to look really goofy

Have you checked the links already posted above?
