What would a 3" front lift do?

[adrianjosh0830]

if i got the front of my stock T4R lifted 3 inches how would it look? right now i cant afford a full on lift kit but on ebay they have some front 3" lifts. like these for example

What year & model do you have?

I'd stick with a well known leveling kit like daystar or toytec.

Too much lift if you're leaving the rear along. Look at the Daystar Budget Boost, it can be had for ~$35 and provides ~2" of lift, which is still pushing it (it'll look nose high depending on how worn the old suspension is). Toytec makes a nice 1" spacer that runs ~$75, which is what a lot of guys use to level theirs. I wanted a tad more, so I did the 1" spacer and FJ Cruiser springs. I got the front springs for free from a guy who upgraded his stock suspension, just paid shipping. Total cost was under $100 and resulted in 1.5" lift. If you have a v6 or 2wd, or both, you'll get more lift that that from FJ springs. It's definitely an option though.

For more lift, you can do a full FJ spring swap and the Daystar spacer up front, they also have a relatively cheap rear spacer. I know euy here on this forum has this setup, looks great for a budget lift.

What would a 3" front lift do?

It would make your truck a bro truck.. aka worthless.:barf:


First, lift everything or lift nothing. Looks dumb otherwise.
Second, don't ebay a lift. Use toytec or daystar spacers.

I have a 2.5 daystar in the front. no lift in the rear. LOVE it. do it.

I have a 2" in the front. It's just a little lower in the front than the rear which is about perfect IMO. 3" would look kinda goofy IMO, but if that's what you want, go for it.

Honestly though, any spacer lift you buy is going to be doing the same damn thing. No point in spending more money for a name. It's a SPACER. That's all it's doing. Have you ever heard of a no-name spacer "failing"?

I have an 04 t4r v8 2wd. Its a hand me down from my mom. I've been waiting for that because I've seen alot of your t4r's on here lifted and they look real nice. I don't like the stock height on the t4r's, i feel like they have to be lifted. were these the ones you were talking about?

i bought the 1" daystar spacer (2" lift) and decided to go with the toytec instead. if you're interested, i'll make you a deal on it.
