Hey does anyone know of a 4" suspension lift for a 97 4runner? Ive looked everywhere and couldnt find one. I need the 4" for my new 33 x 12.50's so they wont rub, and a body lift will be too difficult because of the auto tranny

I have only seen 2.5 inch suspension lifts for that gen 4runner.
You could run a 2.5 inch suspension lift and a 1 inch body lift which would give you 3.5.
I don't know how difficult a 1 inch body lift would be considering the tranny.

bummer. well i guess ill start researching body lifts. thanks for the info

Checkout www.toyteclifts.com you can find a good setup there. with 33's the 3" OME setup should be pretty decent for you and you shouldnt rub much.

If you want more in the rear you can go with LC coils and to even out the front look for a topout spacer.

Hope this helps you out. Also, PM Crolison he is running 33's with only a 2.5-3" lift. It can be done without much problem

I really liked my 2.5 ome lift that I had on my old 4runner but I never ran 33s just 31s

3" of suspension lift is about all the front CVs can handle, so you won't find a 4" suspension lift, perhaps a 4" bracket lift. You could always do a 2.5" to 3" lift and then add a small body lift if you want.

Search around, lots of lift options for 3rd gen 4Runners.

ey everyone thanks for all your help! I checked out www.toyteclifts.com and i like what I saw. If the 3" system doesnt work out ill try to go for the 1" body lift.

pitpatt

yea those are great guys to work with too heard nothing but positives out of them

If you want a 4" bracket lift for a 4runner buy one for a tacoma, they're the same thing.

If you go with a 3" suspension lift just make sure you get the 1” Differential Spacer it will help your CV angle alot.

my sonoran steel 1.2 kit and 1 in 4crawler BL ROCKS! for me, its the perfect lift for my 285/75/16s. see sig

For 33's you'll be able to fit with around 3" of lift and a little trimming... putting a 1" body lift on is a cake walk, even with an auto tranny. You actually don't even have to touch it.

SWPERIC

yea, also the Bl has made my truck 100X easier to work on. doing it b4 your suspension will make the rear shocks easier to get at for sure.

Agreed! Except i did it in the reverse order ha

SWPERIC

o i did too. i just realized it when i was putting the BL on. haha

I ran 305-75-16's on my 97 4runner w a 2.5 inch spacer lift. just had to get 1/4 in wheel spacers for the front. only cost me 30 bucks
