lift question?
 
I have an 87 4x4 pickup, ot is currently stock, but i got some tj coils for the zuk mod, and someone wants to sell me bj spacers and 2 inch blocks. i have a flat bes and my rear end sags, so i was curious, if i put on the zuk and blocks, do you think bj spacers and a little bit of tortion bar cranking will even it out? If not do you think it would look stupid if i body lifted the cab 1-2" with the bjs? I'm trying to think of options, or should i just do one or the other(zuk or blocks, not combined) here's a pic of my truck to get an idea:

BJ spacers and AAL, not blocks.

I already have coils and I'm for sure going to zuk mod, i haven't bought the blocks yet

I would advise against using BJ spacers for lift. At best it rolls along the streets just fine but will breaks things when flexed.

Having said that, if you're not using the BJ spacers for lifting the front, why would you need blocks in the rear?

Even with a diff drop? I haven't heard too many bad things about bj spacers, i jave some on my 2wd and there good.

I'm going to have to do some searching on this zuk mod. sounds interesting

Here is the one way of doing it https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116/1st-gen-4runner-zuk-mod-diy-how-lots-o-photos-207564/
i did the no-cut zuk mod. check out my build thread in my signature, its not completely done but there's some pics of.it there.

Comparing BJ spacers on a 2wd and a 4wd is irrelavent.

You didn't mention a diff drop in your OP so I didn't bring it up.
But a diff drop would take a lot of the strain off the CV's.

I didn't know if there could be other issues like weak points in the uca or something so i just mentioned it. and i was consittering a diff drop too
