so does it matter if i use front or rear LC coils? for the rear of my runner? i am looking into doing the lift, thinking that i will go with toytec front coil overs and then the fj80 LC 8wrap coils and a 1 or 1.5 bl. ill prolly also just end up using the Bilstein unless i can find a tundra trd front setup

read below. The front coils go in the rear of the 3rd gen. the rear coils go in the rear of the 2nd gen

a cheap effective way to achieve a good amount of lift and flex is to install FRONT springs from a FJ80 (1991-1997) Landcruiser in the REAR of the 3rd gen.

Cost to install
Think I'm going with the Toytec Ultimate, what's a ball park number for installation?
Thanks

It's surprising how much you'll learn about your suspension when you install the lift yourself. I know not everyone has the means to do it, but if you can I recommend it. Then when/if something breaks on the trail you'll know what it is, why it broke, and what you can do to prevent it from happening again.

After installing a 3" lift kit, does it need to be realigned?

I ordered a 3 inch spacer for the front of my 1997 t4r and 2 inch spacer for the back. when I got it they sent me a '06 to '10 fj rear spacer. I have read that they will fit the 4th gen t4rs but what about the 3rd gens?

Can you use the stock rear shocks with a 3" lift or are they too short?
