Topic: 85 runner and lift ideas

[virgin85runner]

Hello I'm new to the sight but not new to 4x4ing. I just bought a 85 4runner that has never had anything done to it. The stock spring are saging and I'm looking to lift it. I have a set of rear IFS spring and I have hear of alot of people putting them in the front what all do I have to do to make them fit and how much lift do you end up with. I was thinking about doing that and a set of 63" chevys in the rear but I'm not really sure that I want to start cutting on it yet. and what tires would clear on that set up. Please help.

so no one has ever lifted one of these that way.

3-4 inches w/ rears up front. youll want to add a couple leaves so you have 6 or 7 leaves

what kind of leafs would you add and will they bolt in to the stock mounts.

unless you want to run 35's or larger you can get some 79-83 front springs  ,they are thinner and have more stock flex,  then add a leaf or two from a 88-94 F150 2wd spring pack,  then put the rest of the f150 pack mixed into the rears you have and you will have 3-4 inches of lift and mucho flex
for under $50

really that sound like a good Idea

I was under the impression that you need crossover steering for the rears up front, as they move your axle 2" forward.
