I was wondering if anyone on here has lifted a 97 2wd 4runner. If anyone has, what would be their recommendations on the topic. I was also wondering if there are better rear differentials for the 3rd Generation 4runners? Help! Please!

 

I did mine and changed it up some. The 2wd lift is the same as the 4wd. Execpt there is no need to drop the front CV angles. I would recomend following schafers <sp?> frankenstein setup. From what I read it rocks. I'll be doing the same to my runner soon to. I currently run a revtek on bilsteins up front and downey 3.5 HD coil in the rear. Check my sig for more details

 

what do u mean by a better rear differential?
like gears and a locker? the 2WD diffs are the same as 4WD ones except for gearing in most cases.

 

I lifted my 99 2wd 4runner using the Revtek 3" lift and installation was very simple.

 

Nolan has done it also. Check out his webpage:
