2" lift options?

[veloindy]

From my search efforts, it looks like Overland and Ironman are the companies that offer a 2" lift. Overland has obviously closed shop, and there isn't much info out there on Ironman. Does anybody know of another company offering a 2" lift? I want to stay close to stock height, and stock tire size.

Depends what you're planning to use your truck for: are you looking for go, or for show?

All go, no show. I feel like the truck is quite capable in stock form. But just needs a slight lift.

Look at coilovers, Fox and King are highly regarded but you will pay through the nose to get them. A lot of guys here run Icon gear as well.
Total Chaos makes lots of suspension components (other than springs and shocks) that you may want to consider upgrading as well if you plan to run hard.

Fox and King are out of my budget. Icon's give closer to 3", right?

Most 3" kits have a 2" lift in rear. So, you can set your front coilovers at 2" and there you go. That's basically what I had for a year before I went from 275s to 285s.

Coilovers are adjustable over a given range. If you want a more reasonable, yet very capable solution go with bilstein 5100's and a stiffer than stock spring. If all you want to do is level out your truck from front to back, you will only need to do the front axel. The shocks are under $100 each, and springs can be had for under $250 per axel.

You might want to consider looking here:

4Runner 03-2012 - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits

Any if the front coil overs are adjustable so you can set the front height to whatever you want.

Not to steal your thread, but I also want a 2" MAXIMUM suspension lift. I ruled out the Old Man Emu because it is a 3" lift. If I go with the adjustable Bilstein 5100's, who makes a taller front coil spring (I don't want to use the original soft front coils) that will work if the Billies are set @ the 1.75 mark ? I know that someone makes a 2" lift coil for the rear, but I can't remember who.

Now I remember who makes the 2" rear coils.

Toytec "Super Flex" !!!!

Check out the Toytec Ultimate lift. It uses the 5100s and are infinitely adjustable between 1" and 3" lift. Same with the their Eibach spring option. For the rear you could use the Sway-A-Way springs from Wheeler's Off Road will give you 2" lift back there. They advertise as 1.5" lift but you can expect more like 2". I have had them on for about 7000 miles and they are still at 2" of lift.
