    New from South Jersey. Just got my 1995 4runner looking to lift and put bigger tires on it. Nothing crazy 33 or 35s. Looking for help and recommendations on where to start and how much lift I should do to fit bigger tires.. Thanks

    Welcome from Wisconsin! One of the best things you can do while on the forum is go to the upper righthand corner to the 'search' box. Type in what you're looking for and with the lift kit search I'm sure you'll be flooded with ideas! This is a fairly common topic around here. Good luck.

    I lifted a bronco I use to have, only because I had to after installing different rims and tires, Now that I have a 94 4Runner, and knowing how much a lift and bigger tires will make it doggier than it already is, I am not lifting mine and don't recommend lifting

    I agree, don't lift but you do need to get rid of the rear squat. Replace the springs in the rear with some aftermarket ones and then put some 32's on it.

    Sounds like you are not happy with its looks, a lift might make you dislike something else about it, from what I see in the picture, looks like the rear is lower than the front, I would try to get that leveled out if anything unless that's just the way the picture came out because its parked on sloped driveway.

    There are limited options, depending on how much lift your are looking for. A simple lift would be ball joint spacers and new rear coils (with differential drop) for around $300. If you are going to run bigger tires I would consider re-gearing.
