looking for cheap 3inch lift, possible used.

Performance Products has a 2.5" lift for about $80.00. Cheapest I've seen. I think there are just eight spacers, one for the top & bottom of each coil spring.

When you do a lift do you usually need to replace shocks/struts? I don't have any experience in raising...just remember that when I was looking at lowering my Civic I had to take into account installing new struts at the same time otherwise I would have likely blown out the OEM ones.

you can body lift for cheap, suspension lifts are more because of all the parts you need, shocks, springs, brackets etc...

Body lift---around $100
Suspension lift---around $1300.

Do they make any kind of lift for an auto trans 4runner? I cant find one anywhere.

Yes, I posted this already somewhere, but here it is again..

http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/Toyota4RunnerBodyLift.shtmllook around a little.. they have pictures, write-ups and they sell all the parts you need.

therwise suspension lifts dont matter much if its AUTO trans.
