Best Lift Set up
I was wondering people's opinions on lifts for late 80's vintage 4 runners. I have an 87, and i've installed some aftermarket shackles to get rid of the low back end, but i'd like to get the whole car up about 2 inches. Was wondering if people had ideas and or experience with lifts to get good quality for cheap.

Not sure about yours, but my runner gets pissed when I call it a car.
Roger Brown is the place for bodylifts.
Ball joint spacers, add-a-leafs and other options work in the rear.

Yeah definately go Roger Brown...I'll be doing that as soon as I finish paying off the debt that I'm in now.
And yeah, my runner tends to hesitate and sometimes backfires when the word "car" is mentioned around her...

Definetly a truck, NOT a car, my mistake!
My bad about the car remark, should've caught it. I would like to the TRUCK up a bit (lol), but i was looking for suspension lifts, I think. I thought the only good a body lift did was get the body up high enough to fit bigger tires underneath. I have enough trouble getting up anything steep with the size tires i have now, i don't want to get bigger tires if i can avoid it. My dad has a 97 and he just put on a 3 inch OME lift, and that works badass for him, as in a recent trip to Moab, he kept from scraping anything except his hitch. Anyway, thanks for the advice

A bodylift will put the body up away from the frame.
A suspension lift will put the body and frame up away from the suspension.
You don't want bigger tires but want things out of the way?
Does your dad have a button that says "RR Locker"?

Well, i only have the 4 banger in my 4runner, and while it does just fine offroad in low four, it is pretty gutless going on the highway. Plus, i find myself having to give it more gas than others on some obstacles because it just doesn't have what it takes. I am putting on new headers, exhaust and intake, but that isn't going to help much. I'm afraid that if i get bigger tires, i'll be losing too much power. I'm trying to raise up that darn fuel tank.
Thnks
