Just to echo on what some people have said...
I would keep the OEM LCAs and replace the bushings. I just did this and it wasn't nearly as bad of a job as I expected. I put Whiteline bushings in mine..don't waste your time with Energy Suspension on the LCA bushings.
I would do the steering rack bushings while you are in there.
You don't need a body lift to clear 285/75-16s, just the toytec 3" will do it. The 285/70-17 would be the same height. Maybe a little "manipulation" of the fenderwell/flare will be required but my experience in the past I had to do no modification.
For the OEM LBJs TREs and such, there is a thread that has all of these OEM part numbers listed. Just google, "3rd gen 4runner forum OEM part numbers" and itll show a thread that has all these numbers. Then I took each one of those numbers and put it into amazon and baam..I found most of my parts and they were at my house in 2-3 days. A few weren't available and I got those from Camelback toyota but that took over a week and shipping sucks.
Are the sway bar end links messed up, or just the bushings? The sway bar bushing kit from energy comes with those bushings.
Trying to think of what else...
I just put the aluma series lift on mine. Almost got it buttoned up and I'm curious to see how it rides. One thing I ran into in the past was a lot of rear end vibration after the lift. What solved this for me was greasing the entire driveshaft..all of the related points. I hope that doing this first this time will prevent that from happening.
Good luck, they are such fun vehicles!
