Yes.

Here's a Pro Comp Stage II, and BJ spacers on my 87 4Runner last year.

Yes about the front but the rears I do not know. I have the Superlift in my 2nd gen and I noticed the driveshaft is mostly extended to the max. I put the BJ spacers up front and decranked the torsion bars to give it a smoother ride in which it did. I still have 4" of lift. I guess I could crank it up even more but then you have to worry about CV joints breaking.

truck looks good. how were your driveshafts? my friend mentioned a tranny drop may be needed but im not sure about that either.

thanks again

not sure what you mean by tranny drop never head of that before, but the first thing that comes to mind with running both bracket lift and BJ spacers is the possible need for a differential drop kit. But I believe those bracket lifts already come with the needed stuff that drops the front axle anyway to keep the CV's in line.

Drive shafts were fine, I was running a 2nd Gen 4Runner (v6/auto) rear driveshaft (bout 1-2" longer than my stocker). Front shaft was fine.
Toyota are not *eeps....tranny drops....lmao

Diff drop? Bracket junk does "drop the diff"
Wasn't really caring about CV angles....SAS was coming.


ohoktimmyg, If you do go this route, DO use the support bars (or make some) from the trans x-member to the LCA mount.....saves you from this:

Driver tire is 2" back and 1" up from where it should be, I bent the control arm, obviously destroyed the lower bushings, fun stuff like that
Here's another pic tougher to see but I think the alignment was off

was that at crawling speed or going alittle faster?

It was dumb, my buddy just went through no problem (89, F150 SAS, 347 stroker, 38s blah blah blah), I followed, wouldn't have been the slightest problem except for the ice. Dumb reaction was to hit the brakes, she slid and hit hard, bounced it, heard nice snaps and bangs, thought the knuckle was gunna be laying on the ground haha. Drove it home! pulled super hard to the d-side but w/e.

SAS FTW

haha ouch

Ok so i am just about ready to lift my truck and I want to order the rest of the parts i need. if its possible i would like to try to get it all from the same place at the same time for shipping reasons.

I want:
2-3 coil spacers for back
1-2 inch BJ spacers
4 shocks that will fit a 5-7 inch lift on a 93 4runner
a steering stabilizer

If anyone could help out I would really appreciate it. I wanna order this stuff before my tax return all goes to the local bartenders

Thanks!!

If I have a 4in suspension lift for ifs should I use that instead of doin the cheapier lift with the ball joint spacers?
