'00 4Runner Lift Kit

[ehub1304]

Hey guys, brand new to this forum. i just got a 2wd (unfortunately) 2000 4Runner and am looking to do some modifications to it. does anyone know where to get a good lift kit for a 2wd 4runner and i'm also looking for a nice grill guard.

thanks!

Id check out www.toyteclifts.com great prices, great products, great customer service.

if you wanna go cheap you can always do daystar. they make a 3 inch coil spacer lift.

grille guards i'd go Westin or a cheap Hunter one off eBay are pretty good.

ok so i found a couple of kits and seeing if i could get some feedback on maybe which ones are good (or better)

1) http://www.daystarweb.com/productdetail.php?productID=537

2) http://www.toyteclifts.com/index.ph...ategory_id=71&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=72

i noticed that 2 and 3 don't come with shocks so would i need to get shocks as well? (sorry i'm completely new at this)

strongly suggest looking at my recent thread regarding the "after the lift pics"

 

[ehub1304]

o.k. i just went through your whole thread...where did you get your kit and did it come altogether as one or did you piece it together?

 

[2000runr]

1 unit, thru a local shop here but toytec could put same pkg together for you

ok so i've looked around and have come up with this:

3" Lift with spacers from toytec: http://www.toyteclifts.com/index.ph...ategory_id=71&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=72

2" Body Lift from 4crawler (kit d): http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/Toyota4RunnerBodyLift.shtml#GenIII.2

comments? is this a good combo?

Are you going to put both of them on? What size tires are you trying to run? I wouldnt do spacers and body. One or the other. You can do new suspension and a body lift though..

 

[ehub1304]

alright if i was to do that set up what suspension kit should i get from toytec?

[ehub1304]

ha i was hoping i could avoid that one just b/c its the most expensive but it does look like the best. if i go with that one, would i be able to do the body kit?

what about: http://www.toyteclifts.com/index.ph...ategory_id=71&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=72

 

[ehub1304]

or... http://www.toyteclifts.com/index.ph...ategory_id=71&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=72

 

[haddix]

Yeah get the first one. Its fine and you can do a body lift too. What size tires are you trying to run?

 

[ehub1304]

http://www.toyteclifts.com/index.ph...ategory_id=71&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=72

that one?

and probably 265 or 275's if they'll fit...once again lol any recommendations?

 

[haddix]

Yeah. You can fit 265 right now without any lift. 285 with the suspension lift then with the body lift 315's..

 

[ehub1304]

what could i fit with the same lift and just a 1" body kit? also...would i be able to get the tires that are just 2 digits (i.e. 31" or 32" etc...) or should i just stick with the tires that are like the 285/x/x etc...
