For my '91, I used '97 FZJ80 rear driver side coils. 48231-6A100 is the part number. I really like the amount of lift. I'm pretty sure it gave me about 3.5". Here's a list of everything I did and all the prices that I paid... your prices may vary slightly since I caught a couple sales... anyway... here you go...

Long side FZJ80 rear coils (Part: 48321-6A100): www.toyotapartsales.com $115.64 + shipping = $132.99

Front: Rancho 99272 – eBay (front/rear, free shipping, no tax)
Rear: Rancho 99251: - Seller ID: Hotrodoffroad = $275

OR

Front: Rancho RSX17079 – www.4wheelparts.com (front/rear; Sale) $165.99 + shipping + tax
Rear: Rancho RSX17027 – = $194.57 - $25 rebate


Marlin extended brake line: www.marlincrawler.com $29/each + tax + shipping = $38.48

3” Panhard drop bracket: $55 + tax + shipping = approx. $70 www.downeyoff-road.com (Called)

1.5” Ball Joint Spacers: www.trdparts4u.com $99 + $10 shipping = $109

Manual Hubs: won off eBay $58 + shipping = $70

Total: $615.04

This netted me about 3 - 4" in the rear, and about 1.5 - 2" in the front. The rear wheel wells are cut a little bit lower than the front ones, so even though there is SOME rake, it's hardly noticeable... Anyway, Look in the photo gallery, the progress of my truck is in reverse order in the pictures... anyway, if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

I got a 2 1/2" front & rear daystar suspension lift at jcwhitney.com for $119 no tax free & shipping. Then had a friend install it. Not a huge lift but I'm satisfied. I have a 96 2wd.

I just checked the web site and they went up to $299(2.5" daystar). But the part # is ZX507167 in case you're interested

Anyone that gets directed to this thread and doesn't know it, the body styles changed drastically from 1995 to 1996.

The kit ZX507167 recommended by 96 Runner is still available, but is not made to fit the '91 or '95 that the thread originally began discussing.

The kit is still available through JC Whitney for 167.99, but again, is not made for the '90-'95 4Runners
