any fitment issues or rubbing with that size ? do you know what your backspacing is ? did you get about 2 inch gain with the bj spacers ? your tire converted to a 34 inch . break a cv yet wheeling ? nice looking 2nd gen ! ... well just looked at your previouse posts . awnsered most of my questions . looks like 3.75 bs , diff drop so cv are probly ok unless wheeling real hard . nice rig !

Figured I could add my .02 to this thread now.
This is EVERYTHING you need to lift a 2nd gen 4Runner.
1.5" BJ spacers
FJ80 Coils
Trailgear Brake Line
Skyjacker front shocks -SKYH7054
Skyjacker Rear Shocks - SKYH7024
4Crawler 4" Panhard
4Crawler 4" LSPV
Total cost:
~$250 including the 35 dollar rebate on the shocks and the 20% on sale.
Hope this helps... pictures will be posted when the lift is done.

Ya you will need those no matter what spring/shock components you use to lift. I skipped on the panhard for a while and my axle was about 1/2" off center.

Yeah definately don't want that off center problem. So the 4" lspv and panhard drop should work without being too long or short? Kinda makes it pain having a weekend to do this. Which is why I'm just confirming befire I order wrong parts.

Going to attemp this lift soon...
Would like to appoligize in advance if this has been previously covered, I have searched and only found bits and pieces.
Gentlemen,
Going to purchase a set of rear FJ80 coils, new rear shocks, Panhard bar with 4" drop bracket kit (4crawler).
Am i forgetting anything?
Also for those who have done this already? What is the most difficult part? I feel like I may be getting in over my head but can't afford labor elsewhere.
Do I need BJ spacers or can I crank the torsion bars to compensate for this?

And a bracket to re-align that plus a bracket to raise the brake proportioning valve (LSPV):

How involved is the installation? Reading off 4crawler looks like I have to do some cutting/trimming....which I'm ok with but feel I may be in over my head! Where offers the best price for the bj spacers? What about a decent rear shock? Not the cheapest,but something adequate being on a budget? Should I also remove away bars if this is my daily driver?
hell yes

New guy
Hey guys, im not sure how old this thread is, but i saw it and found it slightly helpfull. Although i have some questions. I just recently bought my 1st 4runner. Ive been around them most of my life and decided it would make a great first car for my self. Now that i have it, i dont have a whole lot of money to spend on lift. I have a good friend that said he got his 3" suspension lift for his 1994 runner for around 150-200 bucks. if i can get one for around that price range thats less that 350 bucks, that would be what im going for. Any help?
