Lifting 95 t100 reg cab 2wd base/compatible ct arms

Alright guys just bought my first toyota and truck. I love it and couldn't be happier.(can you tell I traded a BMW for it? Function over looks I guess) well anyway I want to lift it, it sags I plan to tighten the torsion bars but I have been looking into legit ways to raise it. But here's my problem looking at stock picks of other t100s I notice my 2wd reg cab sits lower than the extended cab and 4x4 and i think the reason is the strut/shock mounts are different and it seems the control arms are completely different too, now obviously the 4x4s are going to be different but the extended 2wd are too... I don't want to do a body lift but are there any other ways to lift it? I was thinking about changing the control arms I found some 2004 Tacoma control arms that looked awefully similar to my control arms but instead of torsion bar suspension it had spring and strut... Anyway I haven't even began to look into tundra suspension. Obviously my rears will be easy to raise since they all had leaf springs... But as far as fronts go has anyone ever switched the control arms out to put a diff setup in? Thanks guys!!!

I believe the tacoma and tundra control arms wont mount up the same...

The shock mount wont make a difference with the ride height. The torsion bars control that.

If your bars are really worn out and saggy you will have better luck and a better ride if you get some new ones.

To lift it you can get a bracket lift. possibly a ball joint spacer although im not sure about the 2wd models and what works with them.

But changing the control arms alone wont lift it.

post some pics! congrats on the yota!

Control arm lift

I'm a little late on reply. The 84-95 2wd yota pick up lift will work on the 2wd t100. You can get the fabtech K7017 control arm with add a leaf and shocks. And get a set of sway away torsion bars #1636. It will work better than a ball joint spacer.
