Im so confused

ive been reading posts about lifts and ive come to to the conclusion that i have no idea what to do for my truck,

apperintliy if you buy a suspension kit it will break in the rear but be ok in front,

so you have to do ome lift, wich i am little lost as to what it is,

oh and i wanted about a 3" lift with 33x12.5
so what should i do?

What exactly are you going to do with your 4Runner? Hardcore off-roading, daily driver, mild trials, snow?

Ok, so you want to set it up so you can have both in ways. So for the sway bars, get some quick disco's so you can have them connected or disconnected for on or off road. You dont really need 33's to go on back roads and old logging roads, so maybe just look at 32's. What size do you have now and which gearing? With rear OME colis and some bj spacers up front 32's and 33's shouldnt be much of a problem as some run these with no lift.

FYI you can run 33x10.50s on a 2nd gen runner bone stock. If you want to do an OME lift, look here - http://www.trdparts4u.com/PD-4RUNNER....aspx?MakeID=1

I haven't ran an anti-sway bar in 7 months. I really can't feel the difference. It is a 4WD vehicle, dont drive it like a race car. I wouldn't worry about spending money on discos. Just take the ASBs off and be done with it.

Put some 33x10.50's on the stock rims with no lift, and send me half of the money I saved you

Seriously, if you want to venture further offroad, lockers are a better way to spend the money.
