I am new to the off-road seen. I have a 95 4-runner with IFS. I am not into major off-roading but am interested in getting a little extra height out of the runner. I have read alot on here and cant seem to get clear view on what is the best thing to do to get around 3 inches all the way around. Any help for this newbie would be great.

 

1.5 ball joint spacers up front, longer shackels in the rear and a 1inch body lift and cranking the t-bars a wee bit would be a pretty cheap way of lifting.

 

everyday someone on here asks the same question.

search my friend.
search your heart out.

Search, and if for some strange reason ya can't find it there, then go out to the garage( or driveway) and crank up your torsion bars (that should give the front end AROUND 1 inch in the front, depending on how nice you are to them) get some Land Cruiser Coils, and that should give you 1.5-2 inches extra from stock in the rear (depending on how bad the back is sagging already) and maybe do a 1 inch body lift, which in case you didn't know will give ya about an inch all the way around. then you can throw some 33 inch tires under that thing, be about 3 inches taller, and call it a night.

If you're not planning on wheeling it, then why do you need an extra 3 inches? I wheel mine, and I don't even have that (see my signature).

 

Trucks that don't get wheeled very often typically can get away with more lift. I have about 8.5" on mine and I have no problems admitting it's mainly a street queen. I go offroad maybe once a month...


Back OT, if you're looking for 1.5-2", do bj spacers and coils like suggested, 3" go to 4crawler and buy a 3" body lift. 4" a bracket lift, any more than that, combine a few of the above.

Personally I wouldn't fool with a BL unless it's at least 3".

 

I do apreciate all the help. I have started to off road more often then before. The body lift was the first thing i considered doing. But I will research deeper and go from there. Thanks again

 

Let's start with the basics and go from there.
Once we know, then the recommendations will be more meaningful..

Why do you want to lift it ?

This is the important questions. Lifting is done to solve a problem, the need to fit larger tires, the need for more underbody clearance, the need for a larger penis etc etc. Tell us what problem you want solved then from there the best solution is.
