Trim fenders or Body lift?
 


Hey i only have 30" bfgs on my 87 4runner right now, but when the tread goes down on these id like to get 33"s. then i plan on getting a 3in body lift... OR i am also getting new fenders, so should i keep the old ones and just trim those? so i dont have to trim my new ones if i go that route. im pretty sure ill end up doing both but wanted to know what u guys would do</P>

You should just go with a susp. l lift... it's more functional, I think... and... you could get your 33's! I've seen some cheap (not cheaply made) susp. lifts for 1st gen 4Runners... Look around... I'll keep my eye out!

I just Lifted my 89 with a 3" body and put 33 12.50 15 on and there was no trouble with the tires rubbing at all. I went to a local tire business and bought all 4 tires for only 550.00 not a bad deal.

I will have to agree with Keggo if it was my choice I would rather have a suspension lift myself. You also get alot more suspension travel and they usually ride better. With a body lift you have shfting problems sometimes if it's a stick you have to probably cut out where the shifter comes through. It is a cheeper way to go but, not in the long run. It actaully looks meaner anyway. It's an 87 hah so it is an IFS front end. Just do what I did on my 95 and got two inches out of it. Sway away torsion bars in the front adds about 2inch without cranking it up in the air, makes a better ride to. On mine I have rear coils so all you have to do is get add-a-leafs for yours. Make sure you align it when your done if you go this way. This should only cost roughly $350.00 dollars with align. The only draw back to this is you can only fit 32x11.50/15 inch tires on 8 inch rims but let me tell you it looks pretty damn good. Let me know if you have any more questions</P>


thanks Chris </P>
