what up peeps, just picked up my dream toyota. wanted to ask for some advice on suspension lifts?



first of all, is this a stock lift?

my goal is to have a lift about 4 inches higher than what it is now, i would prefer to have a legit all suspension lift including leaf springs only. don't want to run lifting blocks or shackles. I also do not want to run long travel leaf springs only because I don't do hardcore 4x4 or crawling and I don't want to ruin the frame by cutting and welding spring mounts......

any and all suggestions would be taken

 

The back looks kind of lifted, but that could be what a low mile yota should look like.
Look at OME springs in the front to level it out, there like 2in springs and still have a good ride. Then buy the billys 5100 shocks all the way around you will like the ride.

Stuff some 33s in and call it good

 

It's probably not stock, but I can't tell without seeing the actual springs. I second Old Man Emu suspensions. I went with OME and Bilsteins on my build. Haven't driven it yet, but I rode in my friend's truck with the same set up and I was really pleased with the combination of on road manners and offroad capability. OME springs say they provide about 2" of lift, but I think it is closer to 3. Longer shackles do help a little too -you can get 4.5-5.5" shackles for just a little more lift (factory shackles are 3.5"). I went with 5.5" trail gear greaseable shackles on my build, but I may back it down to 4.5"

Bottom line, OME is the absolute best suspension for these trucks without having to relocate hangers or do any modifications to the suspension

 

Do you have any photos of your truck with the set-up you just described?

 

This is all I have right now that shows the heigh. I still have the cab off doing body work.





If I recall correctly, it is about 26" from the ground to the bottom of the frame.

 

Thank you
