Spacer vs Suspension lift????

[gunny1001]

I just about 2 months ago bought a 98 4runner. I want to do a 3in lift but my funds are tight due to a new baby on the way. Can you still 4wd with spacers or is it not a good idea? Then i was looking at the ome 3in lift and that seems to be better but then i will get scalded by my 6 month pregnant wife for spending that $...Any help would be appreciated.4 runner newbie...Also im sure there is another thread about this somewhere else im just to lazy to find it.:biggrin2:

Yes, you can take your truck offroad with a spacer lift. However, I do not think that you'll find 3" spacers on the market...

toytec has em, spacer up front coils in the rear and not a bad price at all
