Body Lift?

I was looking for a cheap solution for a lift until i get several hundred bucks for a suspension lift on my 2nd gen 4runner. Are there no bodylifts available for my 95 SR5 4x4 with an auto transmission? If not, does anyone know how much downey's econo torsion bar and spring kit goes for?

I'm not exactly sure. Roger is the man you want to go through for a body lift though. Excellent pricing and will definately treat you right. He'll even do custom sizes if you want.

RB is 1", besides, IMO thats all the BL you ever want. If you are $$ short, get spring spacers, BJ spacers, and 1" BL...

Dont run downeys econo lift.. Go with RB stuff www.4crawler.com

It's junk.

Like others have said...a 1" BL is all you need and you will see/notice the difference. Once you have the money for a suspension lift, go with option #2...

Its much more than you need. IMO HD torsion bars are only needed with a heavy winch bumper, even still I barely have mine tight. If your rear springs are shot then you can get new ones, but if not a BJ spacer and coil spacer will do the same for less, and ride won't change.
