Looking to get 2" of lift on my 4runner so was wondering if i got these toytec front spacers ( http://www.toyteclifts.com/index.php...mart&Itemid=72 ) what OME coils would work best to give me a level lift?


thanks,

Do a little research on spacer lifts before continuing with your project. They're initially a very inexpensive way to lift a vehicle. But, as many of us have found out, spacers will sag your stock springs and you'll be left with very little lift. I had the Daystar 2.5" kit and they sagged to 1.25" before I replaced them with a coil lift.

If you're looking to get 2", check out OME's 881 coils for the front. I went with the OME 882's and got 3" up front. With the LC coils I have in the rear (3.75"), my rig sits nicely. Steve at Sonoran Steel sells complete kits using factory Toyota springs. Check out his site for a wealth of lift information and parts.

Heed my advice and do your lift right the first time by going with coils. You'll save yourself money in the long run.

I recommend replacing the clamps on your CV boots w/ stronger ones that can get tighter - whatever lift you go with. I put a 2.5" Daystar spacer lift on my runner and flung all the grease out of my CV axles within a week. You can get a 1" diff drop, but my personal opinion is they don't help much and they expose your diff more to damage from rocks, etc.. I took my diff drop back off, got strong clamps and it's good.

Although there's no arguing that longer coil springs are better than the spacers, my spacer lift has not sagged ever - in 2 years, and it cost me $160. I'm happy with it and it was easy to put on as long as you have a good spring tensioner.
