Exclamation Hampton Roads...Help removing a body lift, PLEASE!?!?!?!

Yo everyone. I am about to buy a 95 4runner, good shape with only like 95k on the odometer. However. I am in a tight spot. It has a 4" suspension lift AND a 2" body lift. I REALLY wanna pull this body lift off of it and replace the shocks... Anyone have the capabilities to help me jack it up and swap it all out? I'll bring a 24 pack of the beer of your choice..... Seriously though, any help that I could get knocking this out I would REALLY appreciate. Thanks!!!!!

I don't mean to be a smarty pants, Bobb, but did you not notice I posted this today? Haha! I gotta find someone that has the ability to lift it up so we can pull the 2" body lift off. I don't think the little blocks are in any shape to be reused, but if I can find someone to help get it done, they are yours if you wanna come get'em. Unless YOU know someone who could help me take it out???

Well, this guy backed out, so no go on that thing, but I am still trying to find a 2nd gen. We'll see what happens I suppose. I keep having people just back out of the deals. Virginia is full of really flaky people, it's crazy!

I'm waiting on a guy to get back to me by lunch today about his 95. but that's already got 31's and a 2" leveling kit. The 12x50's won't fit on it without some kinda rub I'm sure, so, I told him he could keep the wheels and tires if he does it. I just wanna get a damn 4runner already.

Well, I now am working a weird three way kinda deal, going to sell my truck outright, put the money into another 6" 3'n'3 lift with 35's then swap the 35's with the 33's on my truck and give the guy who buy's my truck 35's.

Whew. It's confusing. The point of it all though is that I'll still have a 4runner to pull a body lift off of. So I may still hit you up on that offer. I'd love to help ya out with the rebuild if you need it, I'm always looking to learn more about this stuff.

OK, well, MAYBE the first 4runner I went after may work in the long run after all..... I have a guy coming today to supposedly buy my truck, to which I will take that money straight to 4runner guy and buy his rig. We'll see what happens, after all the flakes I have been dealing with I have no hopes for anything....

But, I say that to say this. If I get it the first thing I wanna do is pull that body lift off of it. I'll do a reverse "build-up" thread, haha.

Where are you, by the way??
