lift questions, but might be in the right direction
searched with little luck (maybe just need help finding a thread!?)so here goes:
looking to get around 1-2.5" of lift for my 98 limited. definately don't have the cash to get SS or OME lift so i started lookin at PP 1"...but then thought to myself "maybe i can get tundra coils for the front and fj80 coils for the rear (used of course...junkyard maybe?) for about the same price". my questions are as follows:
1) will this lift setup work
2) if so, how much lift will it provide
3) what shocks are needed (could the shocks from tundra/fj80 be used)
4) what colors go where?
5) any advice on where to find this stuff cheap???
thanks guys and sorry for my poor attempts w/ search

i think you'll have a big rake if so. you're looking at i think 2-2.5 inch in the front and 3.5-maybe 4 in the back.
as far as shocks check http://www.sonoransteel.com/rear_shocks.html
coils etc.... trdparts4u.com
if you want to run LC shocks on this it is a lot longer than stock shocks so they will give more lift.
other things to think about any lift more than about 2.5 inches is: front differential drop. extended brake line (depending amount of lift and/or how you wheel it), panhard/trac bar extension or drop bracket mount.
