    Hey guys. I'm brand new here and getting ready to purchase a newer/ used 4runner. Feeling like I have More question then answers.
    So I guess let's start with the most important! WHAT LIFT? I don't want to do spacers and I don't want to go so big that I have to deal with any kind of driveline vibrations. This vehicle will be my daily driver I don't intend to go much over 32 inch tires.
    Any input you guys have will be greatly appreciated. I've been wrenching on wranglers for the better part of 25 years but I'm brand new to Toyota.

    Rather than waiting on answers, I'm going to suggest you search and read. You'll get answers much quicker.

    Welcome from Wisconsin! There are lots of good suspensions out there. Find one you can afford and most importantly now; choose one that is available! How much are you considering lifting? We went with a 3"front-2"rear, with a diff drop and have no vibration issues. We just put on a couple hundred miles on a "joy ride" yesterday, lots of different speeds.. no vibrations. Our tires are a little over 32", 32.5" tall I believe (Cooper 275-70-17's, AT3 XLT's) Good luck! You'll get it.

    Thank you to everyone who responded. I am aware there's a lot of answers on this throughout the forum but some of them seem kind of vague and lack detail. As far as how much I'm willing to spend it's more about making sure I get it right the first time. I guess the best way to describe what I'm looking for is to level out the front but then at the same time not have to worry about the rear sagging when it's loaded down and avoiding driveline vibrations. Does this make sense?
