Working on a budget build 95 4runner. I have installed a lockrite locker and 31in Supper Swamper LTB. Aired down to 10 pounds and the rear locked up I am going more places than my lift will allow. SO I am geting High centered more or dragging the transfer case cross member and the gas tank just about EVERYWHERE!! SO I have read about getting a body lift with a drivetrain lift. but where I live talking about getting this down at the local 4x4 shop is like speaking arabic. SO what about a Ball joint Lift? The bottom line is I want it to be cheep, simple, and effective. Im keeping a stock set up so wana keep away from stream lift angles. Thanks for your thoughts

 

The best way is to choose lines better, folowed quickly by getting the 34x10.50 LTB's instead of the 31's... next best option is to replace the plow of a stock crossmember with a low profile budbuilt. No reason to raise the entire COG - look at what is hanging down and just lift that up.

 

getting rid of the dead weight of the Waylon Jennings CD will help too.

Seriously TC's advice it great. My Bud Build crossmember/skid plate probably


yep you are on a budget, but some of the factory stuff is just a rock magnet

 

That crossmember is awwwsome. Budbuilt heh.
