Wanting to lift suspension asap but had a few ?'s

[l3igl3ang]

Hi i just got a 4wd 4runner about a week ago and i want to lift it useing spacers. Ive been reading alot about it and theres just so much thats its kinda confuseing.

Heres a few ?'s that im cofused about.

1. I want to go with a 3" lift so will in need 3" spacers for front and back both? cause i see them for sale with 3" fr and 2"rear which would'nt that make it sit unlevel.

2. What are some good afforable places to buy everything i need to do fronts and rear. I found some kits on ebay and toyotech but they had coils as well.

3. My coils on the truck is all level so could i get by with just getting spacers and new shocks?

4. The panhard bar do i have to by a extender for it or is that opitonal?

5. Lastly is there a guide with pics on how to do the lift for the 3rd gen's or better yet a video? Ive found guides for the 4th gen and Vid for the tundar but not for the 4R

thanks guys

i got my skyjacker spacers, 2.5" F and 3" B. came with nitro 8000 shocks for $280, just have to look around. nobody likes then but i like mine.

Your not gonna need new springs unless your old ones are shot. Sounds like yours are fine.

Check out spacer lift kits from Revtek, they make complete kits. I ran them on my 4runner for a while and I liked them. Pretty cheap price too.

Normally the rear spacers are a little larger than the front. I have never heard of a front spacer being larger than a rear before. Just be sure they are made for a 3rd gen before you pull the trigger.

Panhard bar is optional, although it would be helpful if you ugraded that as well.

look into bilstein 5100s up front if you are on a budget. you can knock out new shocks + lift up to 2.5" at the same time and can also upgrade the stock springs later for a full 3" lift.
