Is it worth it? 2" or 4" susp

I found this website: http://www.toyotahilux.com/index.php?doc=11&cid=165

Anyone ever order anything from here? I'm debating on 2" or 4" suspension lift... I think the biggest tire I'd ever wanna run is 33x12.50 and I can do that with 2" from what I've learned... Help me if you have any suggestions are have done these lifts before...

You can do ball joint and coil spacers for less than that:

- http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...ngSpacer.shtml

Generally a 33x10.50 will fit w/ minimal lift on stock wheels. If going to a 12.50 tire and/or a wider wheel, may need a few inches of lift:

and/or some fender trimming.

You can buy those same kits from any number of US vendors.

The front 2" kit is just new torsion bars. You can crank your stock torsion bars and get 2" of lift for free. The 4" kit is likely a Pro Comp or other similar bracket lift kit, which you can buy from a million different places in the US.

Take Roger's advice, a few posts up, and do ball joint spacers and new rear springs. You can squeeze some 33"s in there, and your rig will work great and keep a low center of gravity.
