Hi Cruiser dudes.
After 4 years of work and parts I finally have my LJ78 In good solid working order. I have replaced every old worn part on it and it runs and drives very nicely every day without a worry. So now Im thinking its time for a 2” lift. I already have new shocks that will work with a mild lift. It looks to me like all I might need is a set of springs and some 2.5 degree offset control arm bushings. All said about $600.
My questions would be, will I also need extended brake lines and sway bar links.
Are there other things I am going to need.
Thanks in advance for your constructive feedback.
 
I have about 60mm lift in mine, castor correction bushings definitely improved steering feel. I did not put in rear sway bar extensions, but I did make some front sway bar extensions because the sway bar would rub the steering stabilizer on full lock. I’m running extended brake lines front and rear, mostly because the originals were a little stretched with the axles hanging when I would put the Prado on the lift to work on it.
