Hey guys,

Im new to the Yotatech. I have a stock 1995 4runner. Im looking at doing a 2 or 3inch body lift on it. Ive been reading forums likes crazy. Its an Auto. Was wondering if anyone can help me with the install in Arizona. Im going to school in flagstaff.

Thanks

 

Is it even worth the time and hassle for a 1inch body lift? I just see it not being much of improvement except for maybe squeezing bigger tires. I was looking at getting the 2inch body lift for a 1995 4runner. What do you guys think? Its auto, so i dont understand completely what the issues i would run into, even if i buy it from 4crawlers. Can anyone help me understand?

 

is the steering extension also required for a 3" suspension lift?

thanks!

 

No, b/c you're lifting via the suspension and not pushing the body up higher from the frame.

 

Thanks terminator for answering that question because I was wondering the same thing.

 

No problem.

 

Would there be a gap between a "stock" front bumper and grill? I've been thinking of a 1" BL

 

Nope.

Here's a 4Runner w/ a 2" BL installed:

And one with a 3" BL installed:

The stock bumper does not have a gap on either.


Edit:

Here's some more good photos of a 2" BL (same 4Runner from the 1st link above):

Therefore, 1" would be fine.

 

it looked like it already had a lift did it?

 

Looks good, now you need some bigger tires!

 

If you're talking about mine, then yes, it already has a lift on it. (Check out my lift thread: Click Me .) I just wanted 1" more lift .

For more info on my 4Runner, click the "my profile" link in my sig.



Tell me about it. I'd love a set of 285/75s

 

i was wondering, do you think your 1" BL lift would clear some 285/70/17 on a third gen with stock height??

or would i need a 2" or 3" BL kit?

 

Does anybody have a pic of the body mount bolts we have to knock the lock washer things off of? I can't find one and I'm too lazy to pull the carpet back in the cold.
Thanks

 

Hey Rockslide, what kind of tranny shifter do you have? Does it have the button on the side to manipulate the gear selection or the thumb style on top? I have the pistol grip style, thumb button on top, and I'm thinking I may have clearance issue b/c the rubber shifter (part your hand goes around) comes about an inch from the shifter console. I know the other style with the shifter button on the side have a ton of room. I'll get pics to better describe what I'm talking about.

Here's how my shifters currently sit w/ the BL installed:

 

Well other than mine being the wood grain pattern it looks identical to that but I don't think I have that much clearance at the bottom of the shifter pad. I'm thinking that when I raise the body up an inch that the rubber part of the shifter will hit the console.

WAIT A SECOND!! I may be over thinking this since my last Toyota was a standard shift and didn't have linkage going to an auto trans. This whole discussion made me see the light. The auto trans shifter is bolted to the body so it will go up the same 1" where as the standard shift goes directly into the tranny and will not which is why extended shifters are used.

Got it in my mind now, sometimes helps to talk it out.
SPANKS!!!

 

No problem. I thought the photo might help you out.

 

Not sure if someone already asked but i gotta get to work right now so,
How much hey Rock Slide, how much did it costs to do all this at WabFab plus the steering extension??

 

@rams
there ya go..

 

ohh nooo.. did you know that 100 miles after a BL is installed your ride will explode?

its true, the interweb told me so
