If you want to get fancy with the shocks and have more options, you can do this:

Here is a list of shock sizes per lift:

Did some research for these coils and I now have to different sets to look for, for the fj80 series, I called around the local salvage yard here and this is what they all have told that there are two different heights.
LR coil: 476mm, RR coil: 464mm
LR coil: 447mm, RR coil: 458.5mm
Can some body clarify this because that fj80 model stretches from 1990 to 1997 if I did my research right, now which set of coils are we suppose to be looking for?

yeah 99 percent of kits wont work on 4runners with auto and power steering. i have a 90 4runner man trans and the 3-4" body lift kits are as cheap as 85 bucks......

Ok so I bought 80 series coil springs for the rear of my 92 4runner and i have 1.5" BJ spacers. My question is what shocks should I get I have no idea if I should go for the 4 inch travel for the front and rear. What do you guys think?

anyway , i lifted my 95 runner , with LC FJ80 rear coils , and am lifting the front with 1.5" bj spacers from SDORI , i added a 26" extended brake line from ALL PRO off road. and 0-4" hydro shocks from ROUGH COUNTRY but i am getting rid of the shocks . all together i spent about $300 with out adding tires, with tires 900 labor cost me a cost me a case of beer.
