I just bought a 97 4runner limited and i want to lift it 2.5 to 3 inches but i wanna know whats involved? Do I have to diff drop? Extend brake lines? And or are there any other things I have to do? Im new to toyotas and I love my new one but am completely clueless and new some help. Any Ideas sugestions and input will be great! I wanna go with OME STUFF cause I heard it was the best!??? Thanks

 

diff drop yes,
extended brake line, no
extended panhard bar yes,

I wheeled the snot out of mine without doing the extended brake line, its sitting in my garage in a box at the moment never to get installed prabably.

 

Do you have to do diff drop with a 1.5 inch lift? Whats the most you can lift without a diff drop?

 

with any lift, you should do the diff drop. itll help bring things back towards norm. geometry to protect your cv's. ...and with its price of like 50 bucks, why wouldnt you do it?

 

mine is lifted 3-3.5 inches with no diff drop and my cv angles are perfect.

 

Diff drop with a lift or not? Lee did you do anything with your lift or just slap the lift on and ride?

 

panhard drop bracket and the steering extension that came with the BL, thats about it.
