Hey guys i just bought my first 2nd gen (1995 v6 4x4). I think that this truck may have some kind of lift on it already but im not sure. These pictures show it with the current tires 31x10.5x15

I am new to 2nd gens so im not sure how they sit normally. my last t4r was a 3rd gen. last picture is of my old runner

It's difficult for me to tell from the pics, I believe the 2nd gen limiteds came with 31" tires?
Look for body mount or ball joint spacers for a lift.
Just curious, why sell a 3rd gen for a 2nd?

I sold the 3rd gen about a year ago and was planning on just keeping my cars. I missed having a 4runner and this one came in on trade at my job over the weekend and I had to have it haha.
 
Look for an aluminum block between the upper ball joint and upper A arm. If the CV shafts aren't near level and there's no block there, then somebody lifted the front by cranking up the preload on the torsion bar.
 
Performance Products used to sell Toyota parts years ago but afaik they stopped and sell performance stuff for German cars, mainly Porsche. They were located in the San Pornando Valley. They had a cool shop when I went there years ago. As for the front end, get under there and get some pics so we can have a looksee... :playball:

well guys this is how she looks with 32'' mudders. I am a little upset I didn't just buy the 33s. I had to do 0 trimming for these to fit once i removed the running boards
