So I just visited my first off road park and I was dragging ass all day long. I have a 1995 4runner and have installed new rear springs so the sag is gone. What I'm wondering is which will give me more clearance a 2" lift or a tube rear bumper. If it happens to be a bumper which one is best?

Here is a short clip of one of the ass drags.

 

Armor is my first choice, but you will get all sorts of opinions with this question. I liked the Marlin Crawler bumper on my 92, but they are all pretty comparable. If you want something with a good price, go to Addicted Offroad.

 

I have been looking at the marlin and the trail gear the addicted looks like the trail gear and a few bucks cheaper thanks for the heads up!

 

Bob that bitch.
That will solve all your departure angle woes..


Ps, That was a gnarly ass hill..

 

i am new to and i am doing armor first on my truck. i have been looking at doing this to. all the things i have looked at say armor first, lockers and then lift/tires or both.

 

Bumper I think it will be, I really did not want to lift it as I plan at some point to either SAS it or get an 85 or older truck to go crazy with. Lockers will come soon along with sliders and front bumper.

 

The rear bumper sold by Addicted if the Trail Gear bumper, at least to my knowledge.

I'd go with a rear bumper before a lift. A lift will get you clearance, but can also come with other complications and thus expenses down the road. A rear bumper will just bolt right on and shouldn't alter any other component of the truck.

 

I bought my Marlin for my 95 before I even thought about lift. Couldn't have been happier about that decision. Go with the bumper then the lift you won't regret it.

 

Thanks guys I will get the bumper on order and put pics up when its installed.
