I just did 2" Dobinsons and was about $1,000. Ride is really nice. Not stiff like OME. Can save $140 if assemble your own coil over.

Did you need ucas, spacers for left sag, adjustable panhard bar, diff drop, or anything like that?

And also did you get 2.5 lift in the front and 2 in the rear?

 

[captainva]

Adjustable panhard will not solve your issue other than to recenter at ride height but then the axle will move farther left and right during travel. You want an EIMkeith panhard correction kit and you can use your stock panhard still

Awesome I will definitely look into that thank u. How about adjustable sway bar links? Just wanting to do a 2inch lift

 

[captainva]

You want to swaybar to be flat for it to work best. I think 2nd gen 4runner rear links work. They're the same as the GX but longer

That’s great to know. Hopefully I can get all the parts correct before ordering. Dont want to spend $300 on sway bar links if there is a cheaper option

If you or a friend have access to a welder you can DIY a set if adjustable rear links for around $60. See my build thread if you are interested. I used new Moog links, some coupling nuts, and allthread.

I haven’t pulled the trigger on any specific lift kit yet, looking at eibach on a metal tech conversion with the cone isolators, or OME, dobinsons and spending a bit more money. I am assuming that I need to modify the links and get new ucas no matter what I go with. That would be great if I can manage to do that my family friend has a mig welder and is a pretty skilled mechanic but he’s never done a lift kit so they’re kinda second guessing it. Might have to take it to the shop. I can definitely do the conversion to stock height coils but not sure about a lift because I’m not experienced in that either. I really appreciate the help and I will definitely check out your build! My main concern is if my lift will be out of wack with it purchasing. Going to post or send you a list of what I’m looking at.

35x10.50r17 Kenda RT.
It fits in my normal 7' garage with a plenty of clearance to spare. Roof rack removed.

TRD off road wheels with 1" spacer = -10 offset. 3" lift, SPC UCA at E setting, Superpro quad offset LCA bushing to bring the LCA even further forward. No BMC yet, but looks it it need a little trim. Flex test in the garage shows it rub the pinch weld but did not touch the body mount. It might when reversing under heavy torque. Would need to relocate washer bottle as it would definitely get squashed at full flex.
