high expectations and body lifts don't go together...
Blocks and joint spacers aren't to much more complicated and are far superior to a body lift.

You can't find one because it's an auto and 2WD, and none of the big manufactureres want to deal with auto shifter linkage issues.
However, there is hope, 4crawler carries custom BL's with AT shifter linkage adapters, look here - Toyota Pickup/Hilux Body Lift Kit Pricing/Ordering Page

When you say blocks and joint spacers, what does that mean? Are you talking about coil spring spacers?
Can you explain more?

I have no experience with it, but.... A body lift separates your body from your frame thus increasing the leverage your body has against your frame. It will make your truck feel Topsy turvy and sloppy.
It makes your steering shaft to short, your bummers useless and possible wiring harness issues.
Your auto transmission should just have a straight rod from the bottom of the shiffter to the pawl actuator on the side of the tranny so lifting the body away might make the rod to short.
Youll have to search here about spacers, but body lift is not the way...
Good luck dude.

Check out SDORI ball joint spacers. They have some for 2wd SDORI is committed to to finding new and innovative ways to enhance the performance of 1st and 2nd generation Toyota trucks and I would suggest against a body lift and go with BJ spacers and some FJ80 rear coils.
I don't know if anyone caught this yet, but you don't need a lift for 31's. They fit just fine under the stock height. I have them on my 4runner right now. Many 4runners came out of the factory with 31's so a body lift or any lift would be overkill unless you are ever going to go to 33's.

I don't think they are, but I never actually seen a 2wd 2nd gen around. They look like they are the same height and I can't imagine Toyota changing all that much on them height wise at that time. If it is shorter, he can always go 30x9.5 and that would fit for sure.
