    What did you do to bring up the back?

    I was going to order this

    https://www.shocksurplus.com/produc...G6H-mzntwcuOlpWlBBRkUUsy6HmpabHEaAlieEALw_wcB

    but I asked there customer service an they said this wasn’t what I needed but didn’t suggest what I did need. Is there a package to just order the adjustable shocks for front and back ?

    I believe they put taller springs in, it has been quite awhile since that was done, and i no longer have it so.

    Having second thoughts after coming across an Ironman suspension lift. Everything I read about Dobson says it’s a stiffer ride, whereas the iron man says it’s smooth an can even be smoother than stock.

    Does anyone run a iron man lift that can advise? I am looking at the 2.5 front heavy duty load front and 2 inch heavy duty rear. Also I want the 4Runner to be completely level and thought I would have to run an inch difference between front and back to achieve this, is that not correct?

    thanks for all the help in advance

    I would not get the heavy duty set-up if you're worried about a stiffer ride.

    Completely level would be somewhere between 1.5"-1.75" higher in the front than the back.

    Does anyone have a 3inch suspension lift with 265 tires? I ordered a 3in lift instead of 2, I can return it but would like the 3in, but have brand new 265s I don’t want to waste. Just wondering if it would look completely stupid

    That looks really good!!! What brand lift is that? It wouldn’t matter if it’s different would it I mean mine I wouldn’t be completely off would it? Yours looks really good! I’d love for mine to be the same but I have brand new copper AT3 265s I don’t want to waste.
    Thanks for the info

    If I were to get those that you suggested, what all else would I need to purchase to bring the rear up to level it? Would this set up you suggest be similar to a stock smoothness ?

    This one has ReadyLift spacer lift. This kit was offered by Toyota dealership but I got it from a 4x4shop just few blocks from the dealership for much cheaper total price..:p:p
