87 4runner

Hi all been on this forum for a little bit so figured it was time to post a pic of my rig, only had it for a few months and havent been able to do any mods to it besides a few things.

had to replace the whole fuel line from the fuel filter to the fuel tank.
also new fuel pump mount and slave master and cylinder.
Also did all the body work and sanded,primed,repainted the hard top.
Havent figured out what color yet, thinkin navy blue.



Rig: 87 sr5 , 22re with 230,000 miles on it.
IFS , no lift , ubolt flip, everything works


Would like to give it some kind of lift. the back is saggy, would a add a leaf help with that? Also whats the best way to pick up the front? I would just like to make it higher than stock height and not break the bank.

Thanks for the input and you all have some bad ass rides.

Welcome! Clean looking truck! It doesnt look like its sagging that bad. Know that the rear fenders are 2" lower than the front fenders, making it look lower.

Read this for your lift questions:

looking good and welcome!
you can crank up your torsion bars in the front for up to 1.5" of lift but your ride will suffer dramatically, the other option is the buy ball joint spacers (~$90-100) which will lift your front without sacrificing ride quality. And I do believe an AAL will help with that saggin as$.
LOTS of good info on this in the forums...

ps- can you give some details on how you painted your top?

If you want to lift the rear with out affecting the ride, you could go with longer shackles or blocks. AALs typically make the ride rougher.

yep I would stick in a block and maintain the stock ride. Ditch the add a leaf, its to rough , been there done that...

 

[Hyde802]

I would choose the AAL over the block.

A longer shackle is a good option, buy they cause the leaf to flex more, which should hurt an already weak spring.

But really, should get some new leafs.

Thanks for the info. Gonna look into your suggestions, I've found that some people swear by aal's and some swear by blocks lol.

To paint my top I used ACE premium enamel rattle can flat black can buy it anywhere. Was happy with the results. Took about 4 cans cause the top soaked it up like a sponge fromthe po not sealing the fiber glass
