IFS lift kit help 86 4runner

I just purchased skyjacker 4inch leafs for the rear of my 86 runner cause my downey ones broke after 2years only. I have the torsion bars all the way and still need about a 2.5-3 inches in the front. What can i do. My front suspension was redone last summer. Don't wanna mess any of that up. It's a daily driver that's never been offroaded. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That would be your best bet given you've already got the Skyjacker rear - anything else is going to be hard to match to ensure you get an even rake.

If I were you, based on what I have heard about their products, I would sell the Skyjacker stuff you have now and go with either OME or Trail Gear.
Either of which the Wabbit can help you get.

Might try pulling a leaf out of the rear springs, 2nd from the bottom is a good one to start with. Or mix and match with some of your old Downey leaves (the unbroken ones) to make a softer, lower spring pack.

And in front, short of the 4" bracket kit, you might try some ball joint spacers to get a little more height:

Very good advice.
As usual.
