Hello I'm new and just got my 87 4runner repainted. This is the look I am after. Any idea what size lift this is and what kit do I buy? Thanks.

Looks like Scott Wilson's old 4Runner:

2" body plus probably 4"-5" suspension lift.

Thanks for the info. I guess it isn't as easy as buying a kit and installing it, eh?



SAS - solid front axle suspension and IFS - independent front axle suspension? ... sorry major newb.

if this is true, is it possible to have that type of height with an IFS like mine?

 

Probably, but I hope this is going to be just a mall crawler!! Even if it is youll be doing front end maintenance at every oil change.

 

Yes.

Yes, you can get a 4" IFS bracket lift kit, most of the major off-road parts mfgs. offer them, Rancho, Superlift, ProComp, etc.

 

and if your lucky..you can find a used 6" ifs kit swimmin around on ebay or craigslist.com

 

sas it no ifs

 

If you're going to give it that much life it would be cheaper to SAS it. a 4inch ifs lift is like 8 to 1200 so you might as well do it right.

 

THIS ONE !!!

The only front end maintenance I need to do after wheeling is an alignment sometimes. I'm rolling 37's on 4" IFS suspension and 3" body lift.

But yeah if I was just starting with a stock truck and I could afford it I would do an SAS. If you're going to keep it IFS, just do a 4" bracket lift, 33's and regear and I think you'll be alright. My 2.
