I need to choose a lift for my 92 4R SR5.

So far Im considering 1.5" Ball Joint Spacers for the front.

And Either 2" Coil Spacers, Land Cruiser Springs, or +2" HD OME Springs
OME springs are only 40 dollars more than the spacers. So thats where im leaning so far.

I will be doing a lot of long distanct with my 4Runner (long distance meaning as far south as Costa Rica)

But i will also be doing a lot of 4 wheeling along the way. I dont need alot of lift, 3" all the way around would almost be to much for the 4wheeling iv done... im riding with relativly stock suspension and have almost pushed this truck as far as it will be pushed suspension wise. so the lift is jsut going to help my tires fit and make it so im not stressing/breaking her so much when i do the things iv already done to her.

So what Im asking is what style of lift would you recomend? Spacers? Springs? Other? What other types of lift are there?

Iv already ordered Rancho RS9000X 9 way adjustable shocks and need to choose the lift relativly quikly so I know what size shocks to request.

What do you have? Hows it treating you?

(sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, let me know why if it gets moved so i can figure out placement
better)

 

bj spacers and coil spacers in the back are fine.....

 

Same set up and the heavy springs for the rear, just turn up the torsion bars a bit and it rids just fine. I had a bit of issues with the back spacing of my rims, "major tire rub" with the spacers, but they were stock rims and 10.5 width. Some did, some didn't, just something to keep in mind. The steel black wagon wheels solved that issue, and at only $35.00 a piece from a tire shop, and an allignment.
Might I suggest also to relocate your air intake. I am guessing you will hit some water holes along the way, and being that far from home a simple piece of 3" aluminum dryer vent, cut a hole in the inside of the interior of the fender and run it up inside the fender by the rear view mirror. Saved my but a couple times since I did it. and it only took about 45 minutes. having the air sucked in from behind the head light is no to desireable.
If you do heed this advice I expect pics, of the Hott shorty riding shotty. lol

 

BJ spacers and Downey coils--works great!! I am running 33x10.5 BFG AT's with no rubbing-

 

If you are still looking for lift options you may want to look at these.....

downey coils, or OME coils? what do you all think about em?


strap22, what can you price +2" HD OME coils, and those 1.5" BJ spacers? i already have shocks

 

Holy crap...I always thought Costa Rica was an island. I was wondering how the deuce you were going to drive there...then I looked at a map and felt like a dunce

Anyways...I have the OME 901's (the HD's). I love them, and highly recommend them. I'd say to get them and the BJ spacers, and either relax your torsion bars to even it out (the front will be higher with the BJ spacers and rear coils), or get like 1" spacers in the back in addition. That should be plenty of lift for 33's...

 

lol@dunce.. dont worry for a long time i didnt even knwo it was in south america.. let alone on the coast, not an island..

i wont be runnign 33's.. ill be sticking with 32's...

3.slow 4runner? i have k&n filter, and 2.5" magna flow catback. and when i hit the power button.. i smoke earliar GM v8 SUV's.. easily..

 

To me, at least, 150hp + 4,173 lb SUV = not very fast I'd be totally fine with the slight lack of power, if only it got decent gas mileage.

 

well yeah.. but for a mid sized SUV its not slow... or maybe its just myne..

 

Costa Rica isn't an island? Let me join the dunce club... sheesh!

 

costa! (coast) its on the coast...

(gsxr 600.. hott!!!)
keggo.. i have a magnaflow muffler.. go for borla, or flowmaster.. magnaflow isnt all that hot. do whatever you have to to find someplace than does mandrel bending, i didnt and i regret it daily... get a custom intake bent whiel your there too...

 

did my lift a bit ago.. ome springs, shocks, and bj spacer

before..


after...
