im considering buying a 95 4runner V6 auto and was wondering what kind of suspension options i have. I would like to clear 33's with no rubbing while flexing. I was thinking maybe a 3" sus. and 2" body? Also what are some websites that i can puchase off-road equipment such as lifts, roof racks, bumpers, lights, ect? Im aiming more towards rock crawling than anything else if that helps.

will have gear for your rig.

If I had to do it over again, I'd buy an OME kit instead of a bracket kit, maybe even a locker for the rear. I see you have an auto, you'll probably want to regear to 5.29's or 5.71's. Try searching the website for some of your questions. Best of luck with your decision.

EDIT: I see you want to rock crawl, I wheeled the hell out of my 95 4Runner w/ a 4" Superlift and 33's on the rocks. You can go places if you're not scared of denting your body. Some say SFA is the best for rock crawling, and while most of us dont have the $$ or fabrication skills to complete such a project, believe a well built IFS rig can crawl just as well. It's all up to you. If you really want to do hardcore rock crawling, SAS your rig right now instead of "wasting" your money on IFS parts. Again, best of luck with your decision.

 

You can fit 33x10.50 with no lift.

Send me a check for half the money I just saved you LOL

Lockers and gears will make more difference in the rocks than lift or articulation will...

 

Hey newb try a Search.. Nice first post.. let me bust out my spoon and feed you all the info that's been posted here 47 million times already. If you want to take it rock crawling here's a suspension option for ya!

Especially the part about SEARCHING!

 

Then simply throw on a 2" bl and call it good.
Spend the money that you'll save and armor.
Any left over, then a skid that'll raise the xfer case/tranny up and do something to raise the gas tank.
