    3” body lift, 33” AT tires
    1DE0903E-CDA7-4833-90CB-4B0F824E4632.jpg Hello everyone, I just had a quick question. So I currently have a 3” body lift on my 5th gen, and I want just a little more lift in my front end. Is it possible to add another 1” to my front struts? Or would I be able to “start over” with a bilstein toytec suspension lift and then add a 1” body lift to that? Thanks in advance!!

    To be honest I’m not completely sure, I would assume it’s just a body lift. Here is the picture of the kit I installed. 587DAF2B-DFC3-443A-B1A2-B7D7B3DE6DED.jpg

    See in the title it says "suspension lift". Thats suspension spacers and longer shocks to accomadate the taller ride height.

    Body lifts lift the body off the frame.

    That makes sense. Sorry I’m not super savvy when it comes to this kind of stuff I just am trying to figure it all out. So is there any way to bring my front up more with that kit already installed?

    I know 2wd tacomas can be lifted 4 in front with a spindle lift and then 2.5 to 3 with suspension. I dont recall if 4runners are the same. Look up maxtrac spindles for 4runner
