So I have a 98 4runner 3.4L auto with OME 883 front and OME 891 Rear/6027 shocks, and 305/70 R16 tires.I want to make this rig RIGHT the first time, starting with are the critical components to change with the suspension/mild body lift? I read DIRTCO's thread which is awesome but it's hard to figure out what exactly should take priority for someone living on military pay lol aka I dont have loads of cash to blow.I have done extensive searching and seen a TON of different suggestions on steering extensions/diff drops/ any bushings that should be replaced for strength ect ect ect.So my question is, what is a list of components that I should step up to? I plan on keeping this rig for a long time, will not be doing a SAS.So far on my list I have radiator drop brackets, diff drop, new axles shafts/boots (in the mail), 4.88 gears (lot of highway driving), 1.5 inch body lift. I plan on eventually upgrading to 35's fysa.I do mild/moderate rock crawling, ie Rausch Creek in PA... not big into mudding mostly "expedionary/camping" type stuff.Gracias amigos!!

 

With body lift you need steering extension and since you are there already replace body mount bushings with ES.

Panhard is off if lifted so you might fix that too.
