2 inch Front lift w/ no rear lift
I just got my 2007 SR5 4Runner back in Jan. and couldn't be happier. Blacked the emblems and grille and got Nitto's. Now it's time for a lift but I have a few questions that I couldn't find an answer to. If I were to install a 2" front spacer lift w/ no rear lift would the front be raised higher or would it be leveled out? If the front is raised would I need a 1" or a 1.5" rear spacer to level it out? Any help would greatly appreciated.

if you install a 1" spacer (2" net lift) that should level you out pretty good- any more than that you will start being nose high, esp if you have weight in the back...a pair of FJ springs in the back will give you ~1/2"

Im confused as well... If I installed a 2inch front spacer would that give me 4inches? I heard a 2inch front spacer will level it out

its all a bit confusing at first- it doesnt help that some manufacturers list lift heights differently (daystar)

the fact remains that you will gain close to double the height of whatever spacer you use up front- a 1/2 spacer is 1" lift, 1" spacer = 2" etc...it all has to do with suspension geometry

fyi: the rear is a straight up conversion... 1.5" spacer = 1.5" lift

hope that helps

I am currently running daystar budget boost. (net 2inch lift) with no lift in the back, spidertrax hubs and 265/70/17 BF goodwrich K/O's with minimal rubbing. If I take out the front mud flaps, it wouldn't rub but it doesn't bother me much. The 4runner looks leveled to me unless I load the back with a bunch of crap.

I have the budget boost, and it gave me 2 inches. It looks meaner, and I couldn't be happier. It also doesn't affect the xreas if you have it.
