What would be a good match with the 97 FJ80 Front Springs I purchased for my rear lift. I'm looking at maybe a 2.75" lift for the front, I'm also going to install a 1" differential drop to ease the stress on the CVs. At first I was considering the TRD Tundra Coils with the top-out spacer, but I'm not too sure how much of a lift I'll get. Considering the FJ80 coils will probably give 3"+ of lift, I was hoping to find a suitable lift for the front. I also don't mind a slightly raked stance, I'm sure it will level out when loaded with gear, people, and maybe a trailer. Any help would be great. Thanks.

 

Yea the tundra coils up front are the only(best) way to go these days. You could even use two top out spacers because i dont believe it will affect your cv's due to it being outside the coil spring pack.

 

A more expensive approach would be adjustable coilovers.

 

I like the idea of having 2 top-out spacers, but thats 3/8" + 3/8" which would yield a 3/4" additional lift including the 2-2.5". So I can expect maybe a 2.75-3.25" lift up front?

 

Yeah, I would say between 2.75-3.00'' up front.

 

tundra coils with 2 spacers up front and LC coils in the back is what I am going to try.... If its not enough lift in the front I will modify from there.... either different rear springs or something like that....

 

2.5-2.75" would be perfect for the front to match with the rear, but no more than 2.75". I just wish there was a way to get exactly 2.75" of lift, I wouldn't like to have surprises after I put on the springs.

 

With LC coils and double stacked tundra coils should look perfectly level. If you were to get a "suprise" just take off one of the top outs and walla.

 

I found these 2.75" front spacers for the Tundra from EZ-Lift. I e-mailed EZ-Lift and they said that the front spacers for a Tundra PROBABLY won't fit the 4Runner. He said he wasn't sure when Toyota started to use the same top plate for the 4Runner and Tundra These spacers are like the top-outs since they go outside the spring assembly. Can anyone confirm if they'll fit the 4Runner> Heres the link to the site http://www.extremetrucktoys.com/tun_lift_2.htm
