5th gen 4runner body lift recommendations

szuyung3000 · Nov 25, 2018

Has anyone install BL on their 5th gen 4runner before? I currently have a 3inch front spacer lift and 2inch rear spacer lift. I'm wanting more clearance for the wheel wells and have a total of 4inch lift for my 4runner for the looks of it. 3inch suspension lift + 1inch body lift.

Has anyone done it before on their 5th gen? And Were there any issues? And about how much is for the labor install?

I'm wanting to buy this kit from Toytec:

Easy to install yourself if you have the tools. Installs range from $500 (if you're lucky) ,up to $1000 for a full lift. You'll need UCA's, diff drop etc with that 3" lift hence the higher cost.

I'm talking about body lift not suspension lift. I DO have a 3" front and 2" rear spacer leveling suspension kit already including diff drop. No new UCA needed.
I'm wanting a body lift. A body lift will not affect the suspension geometry

You'd still be looking at at least $500 given that everything has to come out partially and/or reconfigured. Easy to do if you have the tools. The rear coils would require to be compressed in order to get the spacers in (its hard enough to get a 3" coil in). The fronts you may need a spring compressor. Given that you already have a 3" lift, its already difficult to get those in hence the spring compressor and limited space. Check out the video from Overlander, he installs a 3" lift. Most of it has to come out and reinstalled to get the spacers in. Again not hard, but a lot of work.

I already have a suspension lift. To lift the body up 1 more inch is to loosen all the body mounting bolt and jack up the body and fit in the spacers.
I know radiator relocation bracket and bumper relocation bracket might be needed.
