Hey guys just bought a 89 toyota 4 runner v6 3.0 was wondering how I should lift it what would be good I was hoping to do a 5 in lift don't really know much about trucks was hoping to find a good site to also buy the parts off of.

 

First question. Why do you want to lift it?

 

I don't wanna hardcore wheel just a good lift for a little bit of off-roading just a decent lift that will do the job for when I wanna play for a bit in a mountains to using as a daily

 

Leave it factory hight. Slap some good 31's or 33's on it and have fun. My 2 cents

 

A DD/light trails? Just raise the rear to level it. Then some quality 31" all-terrains.
Ya got a solid, capable daily.

 

Agree with above. Do a 2" if you must lift it, but put your money into armor will be much more worth it.

 

Like everyone said, don't waste money on 5" lift for ifs (shudder)

Buy 31" mud terrains or aggressive all terrains. Get rock sliders installed. Perhaps get a rear bumper or at least tow hitch so you have a real rear recovery point. A major upgrade would be a rear lunchbox locker. Get simple recovery equipment and know how to use it. Another simple upgrade is a cb radio or any trail comm device.
