I agree with all..depends on what you are planning to do with your rig. Killer deals here if you search and be patient. Like said before check toytec, cornfed, revtec, or even daystar depends on preference..but i agree that after spacers everyone eventually switches to springs. I got mine from wheelersoffroad.com no tax and different combinations you can use with stock shocks--mine was $254 shipped got it in two days took four hours only cus I didn't have the right tools and it was my first lift(spring compressor needed). Some shops wouldn't do the lift and others charged up and over $300 for install!!!
2.5 OME lift with 285/75/16's

 

would i need to do a diff drop with a 2.5 spacer lift?

 

Hey man do you have a pic of your 4runner from the front?
I'm curious about that lift...how's the flex?

 

if you have a 4wd...the diff drop is recommended. seems like 2.5" is the border line if you want to do it or not. it will save the cv angles up front.

 

What does the dif drop actually do?
