OK I will help.
You can get about 2" of lift by winding the torsion bars up in the front and matching the rear with new rear springs, or lift blocks or longer shackles.
But... and there is always a but, the more you lift the front end the less down travel you will have as you have moved the suspension closer to the droop bump stops.
This problem can be reduced by cutting the factory bumps or by fitting low profile bumpstops.
I managed to fit 35" tyres under my old Lux with 40mm bodylift blocks and NO suspension lift. It did require a bit of cut and shut on the firewall though but I ended up with not bad front flex for an IFS.
Info on winding up the torsion bars can be found here http://toyota.off-road.com/toyota/artic ... ?id=398514
Also remember if you muck around with the front lift you will need to get a wheel alignment.

Now are you talking body lift ie spacers between the cab and chassi rails or suspension lift?spitzr wrote:can i onli body lift the ifs 2inchs??
Body lift is best to stay at 2" max. Although a few people have done 3" with no problems I wouldnt.
Suspension lift you can go around 2" max unless you get a 4" susp kit which lowers the diff and lower control arms down 4".

If you've got deep pockets and it's a pre 2005 check out Snake Racing if you want a 4 inch suspension lift.

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I don't care.

A mate of mine has 4 inch superlift kit he is selling to suit ifs, perfect order, around the 1750 mark, was running 36 no probs, with 2 inch body lift, gives you six over standard height, and massive down travel if you wind the bars up a little.
