- raising my 4runner
- Posted by gOdDeSs151
I am seriously interested in raising my '98 4runner. i can probably find a
lift kit online somewhere, but should i extend my wheelbase 1st? i have SUV
paranoia, as i used to sit "on the ground" in my last two cars. most
recently a '95 eclipse, before that was a '91 CRX. once i raise it - i will
add mudders, same size as stock tires if necessary, but i would prefer
bigger. advice??? vendors????

Why do you wan to lift it? If its for offroading okay, on road, you will
ruin your trucks handling well and truely if ya lift it more than 1 1/2
inchs. Becomes to top heavy for general use Id say.
Stick in a 1 11/2 inch lift kit (suspention lift first) then add your
muddies, I prefer Cooper STT's, and then drive it for a while before you add
a body lift.

Geez, I wish I could lower my truck. A lower center of gravity makes
it more stable, plus much easier to load/unload.

for every 3 inch lift you should extend axle width (not wheelbase) by 1
inch per side to maintain the same COG.
lifting later generation runners becomes more and more difficult to do
right.
For street driving a lift does nothing and for looks a bodylift may be
a cheap alternative
