I agree GSP, but honestly he really didn't try at all. OP you need to give us some info. Please answer the following questions then we can help you out.
What type of wheeling? I'm assuming sand, mud and rocks since you're on Hawaii and high speed stuff is out of the picture.
Are you into the wide tires/wheels look that is in Hawaii a lot?
Price range is really going to be where we can help out, so what are you looking to spend?.
Will you be adding armor?
Mud terrain or all terrain?
These are all basic questions that will help narrow down what will be right for you.
The Toytec Ultimate or Boss kits are great and will suffice 90% of the people on this site. OME kits are great, but we need to know if you'll be getting bumpers and such before recommending specifics. You're in Hawaii so buying in one shipment probably would be best to save, so I'm not going to suggest piecing a lift together. The Sonoran Steel SS 1.2 or 1.2a will be great as well.

Yeah but we all shouldn't assume that everyone joins this site and has proper "T4R forum etiquette." Maybe he's never been on a forum before or on others that arent quite the same. He's probably just a guy who's excited about learning and doing stuff to his 4Runner and just needs to be pointed in the right direction. I get tired of seeing people post things like "ugh" like it's totally ruining their lives by people asking questions like this on there. If you don't want to help the guy, don't read his question and definitely don't post a negative comment. I'm sure it takes just as much time to insert the lift FAQ then to think of some dickhead comment to write. I want to see the 4Runner enthusiast movement enriched, not discouraged! And I'm sure all the vendors on here wouldn't mind people sharing their opinions and experience with products because it will undoubtedly drum up business for them!
Keep it friendly!

No I agree and that's why I made the list of questions. I wasn't trying to attack you, but hrtme post was very appropriate. BlackCat914 was less helpful...haha I have no clue what he wants to do with his 4runner or if he is on a $300 budget. I'd rather gather the info first than waste my time writing out another detailed list if he only can afford spacers. I never degrade a new member with a redundant question, but it is annoying when they don't take any time themselves to research. This forum is to help others, but it's annoying constantly shelling out info and time for people who don't do it themselves. This is nothing against the OP, but in general to new members who make posts without ever researching themselves.
I entered 3rd Gen 4runner Lift into google and got a ton of info. https://www.google.com/search?q=3rd...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Just bugs some of us who do take the time to research before posting another thread. It's not that hard and google, bing or whatever search engine you use is your friend.
OP, as I stated before answer the questions I posted in my previous thread and we'll be more than helpful to give you some info.

The sticky is nice, but it's not all inclusive. Coilovers are touted as being 'the best', but you achieve increased lift by cranking down on them, effectively increasing preload and stiffening the overall ride. Travel aside, that's the same as using spacers. Nobody likes preload on a rough road, you feel everything. Since we're never going to get our badass 18" of baja quality travel with 6" of lift, how does one attain a stock ride, with increased height of 3-3.5"? I would assume the OME close by the way they designate their springs, but then your max is 2.5", because I would assume they get 3" through stiffness since they mention needing to add 100lbs with the 3" lift. The Tundra and LC setup sounds good, but those are heavier vehicles and one would assume they're also stiffer, though maybe not so bad since they're progressive? The info may be out there, but I don't think it's quite as simple as pointing to the FAQ.
Nobody said "welcome" either. : P
