Angry 2.5" suspension lift but I need one more 1". Please help!!
I just recently bought some tires and a 2.5"Daystar lift kit. It looks like I'm going to be 1" too short. Can I change coil springs to give me that 1" bump up? If so what size would I need or if you have any idea of what other coil springs I should use please let me know. I know a lot about working on vehicles but this is my gray area. I have a Gen 3 4runner 1996. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks have a great day.

Also the reason I'd like to go this rout is cause my coils are worn out.

Wow!! Yes it did, I've been searching all these sites and all my answers are right there. I knew about the tundra giving a lift but had no clue that a highlander would give me that 1". Thanks so much.

If this works out I'll be getting 3.5" of lift what's the way of picking what size shocks you need? Or can the original ones be replaced with the same thing?

You'll need longer shocks. I'd get your lift installed exactly where you want it, then measure for shocks. You'll need to know the distance between the mounts at full stuff and at full droop, then find a shock that fits.
