Need pictures of Cheap IFS lifts. Not the parts but the truck!

I need pictures of your trucks/4runners that have bj spacers in front and whatever in the rear, you state what it has. Looking for at least 33" tires or 35" tires. I want to see what clearances you have and how it actually looks. I look through the member sections but some of you dont have any or what I'am looking for in your sigs. I know their is a bunch of you, so post up! I need pre-Tacoma IFS trucks only.

Thanks, James

Thumbs up

I already saw that writeup but I'am looking for ones that are not in any position off-roading. I didn't make myself clear. My bad. Thanks for the info though. If you have any others that you have or you can link me to that would be great.

˟˟˟ the Rancho lift! I'am going your guys route. It is much simplier and it is cheaper. It looks like the ground clearance I need, the looks and the tire size I want to run which is 33" for now. I will regear and cut the fenders for 35's but that is on the back burner.

Silver Truck, can you tell me what Chevy springs? Also don't stop posting pics either. The more the marrier. I want to make a screensaver!

Gregg. I looked at all your pics and to be honest I don't see much of a difference in ground clearance between the red and the gray, front or rear. Both cool trucks BTW.

88-98 Chev 1/2 ton 2wd springs 63" (actually 64") long, you can use a 4wd spring but you'll want to remove a leaf (same pack just 1 more leaf over the 2wd) also cut off the back haly of the overload spring for more flex.

Just bolting it in gave you lift? If so how much?

It really isnt hard though, if you cant do it I'm sure someone around you could weld on some front hangers for cheap. I still use the stock rear hanger with no probs, it gave me ~2" of lift, iirc my springs are from a 96.
