2nd gen body lift

Ok guys here it is....

Looks like Im going for the Roger brown 2 inch body lift to clear 33x12.5 on a 15x 10 rim with everything stock (probably add a daystar spacer and tortion twist later, worried about my CV's crying though....)

Has anyone out there done a 2 inch Roger Brown kit w/ auto spacers on a 90 4runner automatic? Does the automatic shifter sit in its stock location or does it go lower. If the shifter is lower and there is a big gap I'll probable go with the 1 inch kit as there is less drama to deal with as far as the install..

I'll buy the beer and pizza for anyone with experience that can help with the install on a weekend. best case scenario theres a 49er's or Raiders football game on afterward... For the other Yotatekers I'll take good pics of the install for next person thinking about the the same install....

Would appreciate all the information and help avaliable
Mahalo "Thanks"

Personally i am going to go withthe 1" body lift mounts from Energy suspension, i already have a downey HD coil install and slightly cranked up torsion bars, I love the way my 90 sits now and will love it even more with an extra inch, mine is a manual but i know that hte tranny will not come up with the body lift so my stick shift will sit lower, which is why i am gonna stay with a 1" but as for the auto tranny i am not certain, it all depends if it is mounted to the tranny or the interior, i think interior, maybe somebody else can chime in here i have thoroughly cond=fused myself writing this

Good luck, Mahalo!

Hey robinhood

Doh..... just got a call from the fiancee about how she arranged dinner for us with with some of her friends.. :cry:

this sucks I wanted to go to the meeting and ask the imense brain power of yota knowledge. Especially if the MAN "Roger Brown" is going to be there..... but alas I cannot argue with the fiancee as I was granted parole for sunday at holister. hahaha

Well I'll try to ask RB thanks

Big K
