1990 4runner needs a body lift!

I have a 1990 4runner with a suspension lift and I need to lift the body 2",
does anybody recommend a certain body lift?

Thanks!

Ya but I want my nice ride back! When I put my suspension lift on I had to dial the torsion
bars down to level it out which took away my nice ride! I figured a 2" body lift would give me my nice ride back?

You could try some ball joint spacers up front and soften the torsion bar pre-load to help out the ride and keep the existing ride height (if you don't already have them installed):

Body lifts are also an option:
