I've spent the last week researching and searching the site for info on lifts for my 1997 SR5 4Runner. There are tons of threads but the information is pretty jumbled and confusing. I think I have a general idea of what will work I just wanted to run it by you all before I start buying parts. I think I'm going to go with the Tundra lift in front and rear Land Cruiser coils. I have a chance to buy a complete set of low mileage Tundra strut assemblies from the local pick a part for a fairly good price, they are off a 2001 4x2 Access Cab. I know most people go for the nicer (and pricier) TRD assemblies but will these Access cab ones provide the same lift and suitable vaulving? Obviously I will need to change out the Tundra Strut mounts for 4Runner ones but will they bolt in fine otherwise? As for the Land Cruiser rear lift I'm planning on picking up a set of 80 sries 7 wrap front coils, will these provide a similar lift to the Tundra's in front? (From my research it should be close) What rear shocks should I use? (I'm looking at some of the aftermarket options intended for the rear of a stock 80 series Landcruiser right now). Finally, I want to do this right and not have something thats just slapped together, as such what other supporting mods would you reccomend? Right now I'm planning on a Diffferential drop for sure (Sonaran Steel or 4Crawler), but also considering a front sway bar drop bracket (4Crawler), extended rear brake lines (Sonoran steel), parking/emergency brake bracket (Sonoran Steel), extended bump stops (not sure where to source these), and possibly an adjustable panhard bar. Which of these would you all say are necessary and whats overkill? I don't do any real extreme wheeling or rock crawling but want to have it set up right to handle mild trails but still handle well on pavement and gravel. Thanks in advance.

I do like my tundra TRD coils up front but they don't flex as well as a coilover. Look into ToyTec stuff.

 

Unfortunately I don't have $700 to spend on the Toytech front coilovers. The main advantage with this style lift for me is that I can piece it together over time from used parts at the pick a part and from stuff Tundra and Land Cruiser guys have taken off their rigs to upgrade.

 

I think the LC coils are going to be REAL tall for the Tundra TRD coils. There are different LC coils. Some have more wraps than others.

I also think the TRD coils are taller than non-TRD coils.

 

Yeah I'm getting the 7 wrap cruiser coils which should give around 3" to 3.5" in back. w/ stock Land Cruiser (tokico) shocks Also as I do more research it looks like I should hold out for a set of TRD front coils and get some Tundra Bilstein 5100 adjustable front shocks. This set up should give me a fairly even lift. Does this sound like a good setup to everyone?
