Lift leveling kit W/ XREAS

Hi All, I'm reaching out to the community once again for some help and advice. After installing the sliders, I have lost 2-3" ground clearance. After doing some reading it seems that I have a couple of options. All of which are lift spacers. Doing some reading and came across this form from the 3rd Gen Forum: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/66976-3rd-gen-4runner-lift-information-faqs.html Specifically this: Spacers The least expensive way to lift your 4Runner is by using a coil spacer. A coil spacer basically preloads the spring which lifts the truck. Spacers can be used for up to 3" of lift. Spacers are seen as inexpensive because they do add a lift but are not recommended by most for off road. These serve more for aesthetic purposes and while they can be used on stock coils, they can also cause sagging of the stock coils at a faster rate. Some of the options are: DayStar KT09134BK - 2.5 all around lift Toyotec 1.5 front only lift. Toyotec 2.5 all around lift. My main 2 concerns are: Will this kind of Lift ruin my suspension over time? As indicated above. Installing spacers rather than new shocks/springs only improves aesthetics? Or will it give me an advantage off road? k [/LIST] Like I said a more stiffer suspension is not what I'm looking for, just to regain stock ground clearance. :thanks:

Hey Danny, I had toytec 3/2 before going with the icons. If you don't plan on getting to radical with your rig. Then the spacer lift is fine. Maybe later down the road when your child gets a little older, you can then upgrade to a full suspension lift and tear it up. For now cruise with the family so they can enjoy the views. When your child gets older. He/she will always want to go with you. Best way for child bonding.
