im new here and need a lift

hi to get started, im dean and i just picked up a 3rd gen limited 4runner for dirt cheap and am in need of a lift so far what ive done is swapped to 15 inch rotors and calipers and threw on some 33/12.5/15 km2s and did as much trimming as i could but it still rubs on the floorboards so in the end im gunna need some sort of lift. so whats the best lift for its money. ill be doing more high speed stuff then crawling in this rig.

i recomend toytec although im not a huge fan of spacers its still a 3" lift for $300 front and back or you could go OME you will find alot of 4runners on here go that route little more pricey but atleast its not spacers

If your on a really tight budget you could get 1.5"-2.5" coil spacers for pretty cheap.

or if all your looking for is tire clearance, you can do a 1-3" body lift. that way you keep the stock suspension geometry. check out 4crawlers website. 4crawler.com

a body lift would be better than a spacer lift if you dont want to switch out coils, which is more expensive. another option would be to go with a tire that isnt as wide, thats probably where the rubbing is coming from
