    Need help! What brands would you recommend for a 3in lift? Is rough country a decent brand?

    Won't be the best ride, but depends on the quality of ride you are looking for and what you plan to do with your 4Runner. I have a BDS Suspension 3" lift and love it (great on and offroad + lifetime warranty) but there are lots of great options.

    They’re are a myriad of options and combinations available to you.

    What is your budget and desired outcome? Do you want the lift for looks or function?

    I’m running an Old Man Emu suspension that lifted me 3” but the ride is a little stiffer than say a King, Fox or OME BP setup.

    Definitely want to keep the current feel of the ride, and want it more for looks. I don’t really go off roading. Budgets up to $500 but i can wait for better quality if need so.

    I’m also running a 3” Old Man Emu lift on my wife’s ride and think it feels and looks great. Personally, I think it’s a better than factory ride.

    If budget is $500 you are waiting.

    Don't do a spacer if you want the same ride.
