how much lift can i expect from an add-a-leaf kit over standard height springs?

 

1-2" if youre talking about using the add-a-leaf kit, which has one leaf in it.

 

save some money and buy a good set of springs, add a leafs make your suspension STIFFER! i did it to my fj40 and i might as well have bolted the axles to the frame. if you search some threads you can find ways to build you're own leaf packs using junkyard springs. if you have no money but time and willingness that is the way to go

 

if you get the skyjacker softride series, you will get the lift and a nice ride.

or go to a junkyard and buy a 2 stock spring packs for $20 and add some of those leafs to your pack, experimenting to see what works best.

 

im in New Zealand the cost of shipping is more than the lift itself which means i would spend 1.5 times more than buying a 4runner (1us$=2nz$)

 

if your in new zealand you should see what people are doing in australia, old man emu is based in aus so maybe you can get a good kit from them otherwise check your junkyard and see if you can make some leaf packs your self maybe start with a stock set off a junked yota and see if you can combine them to gain some lift that way. anything you buy here will cost more than the truck by the time it gets down there good luck
