Post 4Cawler 3" BL help/options....anyone who else has this setup....

Hey guys. Getting a 3" BL from 4Crawler b/c I'm tired of my 305 33's rubbing the wheel wells and rear bumper. I already have the OME 2.5-3" coil lift but thats not enough I've found out. Anyways, I know I'm going to have to extend my brake lines, etc., but what else should I buy when I get this lift? My main concern right now are my levers. Its an AUTO so do i need get an extension for my shifter and the 4WD lever? I am going to get the stainless option, etc.

Just wondering who else has done the 3" BL and what exactly their setup is and what they did/wish they did...

Thanks...

the only thing you will need to buy is the 4wd lever ext. you can adj. the auto trani underneath. and maybe a stearing shaft extension if the kit does not include it. that is the exact setup i have on mine. the only time it rubs is when you flex really hard and turn.

why are you going for a 3in BL? you'll be pushing 6in of lift. i would think that will make the truck a little to tipsy for comfort. i can't imagine you need 3 more inches to clear your 305's. why not stay on the safe side and get a 2in BL?

hey all. I ended up getting the 2" BL. Since the 4Runner is still my DD i decided to keep it a 'little' more mild. Anyways, I figure I can used the extra $100 or what ever and put it into a bumper or gears or something. Will take pics when I get it all put on.....

Thanks for all the replies BTW!
