Confused about lifting my 4runner?

97 toyota 4runner?
Okay I have read about the many different kinds of lifts for the 4runner. What I'm wandering is if I could use an OME 3" 4runner coil kit from http://www.toyteclifts.com/96024runn...runnerliftkits and also doing a 2" bl from http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/BodyLiftKit.shtml and then after that install a spacer lift kit from http://www.burtmanindustries.com/zoo..._96_02_liftkit . I'm wandering if the spacer lift kit lifts the front and back? I'm not necessarily wanting to run all three but wandering if I can pair any of the two or three? Thanks.

You don't want to lift it too much (3in max.) without dropping the differential. I ran OME coils on my '99 4runner, which gave it about an inch of lift over stock. I wanted a littler more and went with the spacers, which lifted it 2.5in more. I hated the spacers!! CV's were always buzzing, even after dropping the diff 1 1/4 in.

Good info to know. You wouldn't know if a diff drop kit for a 98 Tacoma will work on the 4Runner do you?
