gen 3 4runner suspension
Well guys in new to the 4runner world. Been reading over the posts and i cant seem to get the search to work for some reason, but i am possibly looking at getting a gen 3. I would like to put 33 to 35s on it, but i havent been able to locate a suspension lift for the gen 3 4runners. Im assuming that everyone on here with a gen 3 doesnt have one off suspension. All i can find is spacers. Is that all that you can get for the gen 3?

the lift of choice is the tunrda/ OME or the Tundra/ bilstein lift. Depending how you do it you'll get 2-3". Then you do a body lift. You should be able to clear the 33s as long as you dont go to wide. The recomended size is 285/75/16. Im the dummy that pushed the limit to 305/70/16. There are other lift types avaiable to you out there. Most of them are adjustable coilover lifts that are shared with tacomas. http://www.off-road.com/toyota/proje...are/index.html
other than that everything is custom. Talk to Steve Shafer over at Soran Steel in how he got his 315 or 35s under his. Infact he has what he did on his page. Good luck man. Just rember the bigger the tire, the bigger the rim. The more expensive it is. They are hard to ballance and they cost alot. Before you lift, make sure you garge at home and at work will still fit you lifted truck.

so do the gen three share the same suspension as the tacomas? I have seen lots of lifts for the tacos, but not to much for the 4runners, obviously the rear would be different, but are the front suspension the same? Thanks for the help guys, i think the biggest i will probably go is a 33 so i think the tundra lift would be pretty easy to do. They dont look that hard to put in, and for the most part seem to be pretty cheap in the grand view.
