any fitment issues or rubbing with that size ? do you know what your backspacing is ? did you get about 2 inch gain with the bj spacers ? your tire converted to a 34 inch . break a cv yet wheeling ? nice looking 2nd gen ! ... well just looked at your previouse posts . awnsered most of my questions . looks like 3.75 bs , diff drop so cv are probly ok unless wheeling real hard . nice rig !

 

Now this is for an approximate 2 inch lift? Got a lead on some fj coils for 75 bucks so I'm looking at this route. Are the skyjackers comparable to the nitrocharger ome shocks?

Any leaning problems with one short coil and one long?

 

Disregard...due to impatience and my lead falling through ill just go with the ome coils...should I still fo with the 4 in panhard drop and 4 in lspv bracket?

 

Ya you will need those no matter what spring/shock components you use to lift. I skipped on the panhard for a while and my axle was about 1/2" off center.

 

Yeah definately don't want that off center problem. So the 4" lspv and panhard drop should work without being too long or short? Kinda makes it pain having a weekend to do this. Which is why I'm just confirming befire I order wrong parts.

 

Your revs will be too high in every gear and no highway use.

I put my gears in before I upped to 35's.

Lots of torque if it's trail only though.

 

How much time u spend on doin it

 

Who and which job?

 

Would like to appoligize in advance if this has been previously covered, I have searched and only found bits and pieces.

Gentlemen,

Going to purchase a set of rear FJ80 coils, new rear shocks, Panhard bar with 4" drop bracket kit (4crawler).

Am i forgetting anything?
Also for those who have done this already? What is the most difficult part? I feel like I may be getting in over my head but can't afford labor elsewhere.

Do I need BJ spacers or can I crank the torsion bars to compensate for this?

 

Pros and cons of torsion bar cranking vs. ball joint spacers discussed below:

Great. Thank you...How do I crank up the torsion bars?

Is this a torsion bar? I'm pretty sure but doesn't look like are any drop down brackets. If it is what else will I need besides longer shocks and fj coils?

 

That is a PANHARD bar, not a torsion bar.

 

Yep, panhard bar as noted above:

And a bracket to re-align that plus a bracket to raise the brake proportioning valve (LSPV):

Sorry bout that guys. Rookie mistake. Go get the lspv bracket plus a four inch drop down bracket for pan hard bar new shocks and coils? Then I should be good?

 

Sounds like a plan. A better plan would be to add balljoint spacers in the front rather than cranking the bars to the max. You'll lose your droop if you crank em, and your ride will suffer.

 

How involved is the installation? Reading off 4crawler looks like I have to do some cutting/trimming....which I'm ok with but feel I may be in over my head! Where offers the best price for the bj spacers? What about a decent rear shock? Not the cheapest,but something adequate being on a budget? Should I also remove away bars if this is my daily driver?

 

i love this thread every thing i needed was in it when i lift my 4runner i will let everyone here know i tip my hat to all of you

 

Hey guys, im not sure how old this thread is, but i saw it and found it slightly helpfull. Although i have some questions. I just recently bought my 1st 4runner. Ive been around them most of my life and decided it would make a great first car for my self. Now that i have it, i dont have a whole lot of money to spend on lift. I have a good friend that said he got his 3" suspension lift for his 1994 runner for around 150-200 bucks. if i can get one for around that price range thats less that 350 bucks, that would be what im going for. Any help?
