I have an 1990 as well. OME has a 2" front and 3"rear set of springs. New the shocks, springs, shakles, center pins are around $1700.00

I know some one who has a full used set of OME springs. e-mail me if you need info.

LC spring lift will probably run you between 800 and up, probably topping out near what Steve has mentioned.

You will definitely get what you pay for.

Without being specific, what you mentioned sounds like you want to accomodate larger tires and not necessarily rock crawl. Taking into account that if you drive it daily and are not hauling around trailers or piles of excessively heavy stuff, I would say you could get away with a decent $800 lift including some nice shocks and wheel it without too much concern. Throw on some 33's and you'd be set for light to medium duty.

If it's going to be worked to death, go with the OME. You'll get more life out of it, but you'll have to pay for it. (my recommendation by the way).

No one likes a saggy rearend!

For OME lifts go to Rocky Road Outfitters web site. www.rocky-road.com I have a 92 fj80 I ordered a 3" lift front and rear for less than $700.00 us. If you want to go bigger Man-a-fre makes a 4" lift using OME. with some modifications. ( $1,700 us )

hey guys, My LC is kind of gut-less, does anyone know who or if there is turbo kits, or supercharger kits for a 4.0 ltr , gas inline 6cyl. I already have a 3" exaust, headers, and K & N air filter. I need more hp. I know some supras have 4ltr inline 6cyl pushing 300hp +. got to find out if i can do the same.

There are no turbo or SC kits for the 3FE, you will have to go custom, if you have it done by a shop I would make a wild guess that it will be ~$5-6k. It's a 3FE, my best advice would be to live with it or sell it, and get a 93 or newer LC with the 1FZ-FE.
