Whats the right lift kit for me?

I recently got a 5th gen 4runner Sr5 Premium. I have been researching lift kits and leveling kits, I don't plan to do any serous off-roading, think fire roads and over-landing. I am not trying to break the bank to buy a lift but I know you get what you pay for with this kind of thing. I want something better than just spacers and that will be reliable and last a long time. Ideally I would want to spend less than 2k, and would like a 3 or 4 inch lift.

Some kits I have looked at:

Skyjacker 3" Lift kit: This one is real cheap which is my worry with it and I cant find any reviews or information on people using it. But I have seen people vouch for the skyjacker brand.

Bilstein 2.5" Lift kit: This one seems like a very good deal. Bilstein is a well known company and the price is very reasonable. Although I believe I would need to buy new control arms as well but thats not a real issue.

Old Man Emu Lift kit: Good Brand, more expensive would also probably need control arms.

Idk if these are the best options, if any of y'all have suggestions, ideas, comments, or anything I would really appreciate it.

 

I like the bilstein a lot but factor in rear springs as well, to match those rear shocks. You can use stock springs but they work better with b12.

 

I looked at the B12 and they are pretty reasonable price wise. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

You can save some money by going with 5100 rears. I got my 6112/5100 kit for less than 1k. Installed then realized it’d be better with rear springs and added the b12s a few weeks later. They are better in every way thank stock, off-road and on-road.

 

If you can afford it go with the nicest thing you can get. Else you won't feel any difference and would wonder why you went cheap. Buy once, Cry once.

 

Stay away from Sky jacker or rough country.

 

Will do, I know rough countrys are less than quality. And I was a little suspicious of skyjacker as well.

 

i’d go with Bilstein or OME
