    Got an 87 4x4 SR5 4Runner and I am looking for a good lift kit. Looking for 2/3.5 some where in there. Thank you.

    Hello,
    A good (best in my humble opinion ) would be an Old Man Emu lift. I did mine about 5 years ago. (VERY NEEDED and not for the lift)
    They call it a 2.5 inch lift, with my worn out leaf springs it was closer to a 3.5 lift.
    Hope this helps;)

    5vz swap, OME,
    Old Man Emu x3! You might want to look into BJ spacers for the front. You can crank down the Torsion bars but it starts to become super stiff.
