93 4runner-what lift, brakes, and more?

New with questions...Some may be answered somewhere, but links are appreciated(PLEASE) and I will learn, I hope.

My questions....

Leveling.. is there a spacer in for the rear springs to level or do I need more?

Is gas tank relocation difficult...it is not something I want to do halfway or a maybe the right way thing...where can it go and work..or do i replace with a tank in the rear?

What brake pads and rotors...what works for you?

Can the torsion bars lift it much or should i avoid screwing with them?

I want simple and cheap and hoping to clear 33s with as much cutting as possible. Tell me to cut and i will. I plan to drive to work sometimes and to the trails and back, but no highway cruising, just function.

I was led to believe there are answers hear, but searching leads to more questions. I hope to ask and get some hekp so I can help others in the future.

If you dont ask you never learn.

Please help....

thanks

Well this is not off road tech so to newbie land it goes. I also edited your thread title ("93 sr5 4runner") to something that better reflects your post.
I'd suggest you search a lot more as all your questions have been answered or discussed a billion times. It would also be a good idea to read the forum rules if you haven't already done so .

Well the width of the 33's is the real question.
I've heard of people putting 33's under stock suspension with no issues, hell, even 35's.
The main issue is the width of the 33's and the back spacing of your rims. And most likely the saggy ass-springs.

yeah, 33x10.5 w/ stock bs should fit with minimal rubbing. They pretty much depend on bs. I testfitted a set of 33x10.5s on wheels with less backspacing and i couldnt pull out of the garage.

As for the gas tank, just weld some extra protection to the skid and you should be good.

And by spacer im guessing you mean its sagging. This is your answer.

I say do the 1.5" bj spacers and 2" coil spacers and leave the torsion bars as is. Should level it out.

None from the factory, you can add one:

Pick your favorite brand, usually works fine.
