I have been wheelin my truck for quit a while now and have been interested in a drop bracket lift for a while. I have only seen a couple of 3rd gen 4runners with them, but I am confused as to where they came from. I have looked everywhere but have not been able to find a company that sells them. SO WHERE DID YOU GET THEM? any help would be great thanks guys.

 

They are Tacoma lifts. I dont know of anyone who makes them for a 4Runner. You just need to come up with something for the rear.

 

Fabtech?

 

Yes they are Tacoma lifts that are used, I think you may need to do some slight modifications for the 4runner, but nothing major. Then you will also need to come up with something for the rear. I think the FJ80 coils will be perfect as the sit about 3.75-4" over stock and will match the front just right. Procomp makes a 4" kit, and Tuff Country makes a 5" and there is another that makes a 6", I cant remember off hand. I like the Procomp style the best, as the others remove the stock upper A-arm and have some strut type thing instead, and much more than 4" lift will make the truck tippy and top heavy.

 

Yeah I've got one. I don't know any other 3rd gens on here right now that has one, but, as said earlier, you have to use the Tacoma front end kit, with either leafs in the rear or using FJ80 coils and a spacer.

My favorite of all 4 dropbracket lifts is the Tuff Country 5" lift. Its by far the beefiest, and does NOT remove your upper A-arm, and you're still able to run an aftermarket coilover.

Fabtech you have to use their coil/shock, pro-comp uses a ball joint spacer and 4"...id just stick a 3" lift for that... and Trailmaster, what I have removes your upper balljoint/a-arm. I've had one problem in 4 years, but, yeah thats 1 problem I would have liked to skip. As long as you know your kit, put it in yourself, and know how to keep maintenence on it, its all good.

Straight axles are better but much more money... You gotta decide.
