m8 ive got 2inch suspension and 2 inch body lift on my 92 ifs 4 runner. i am running 33s which the front always scrub under flex so i dont think u will be able 2 fit 32s in there comfortably by just winding the torsion bar up. you best bet is to get a 2 inch body lift in it which only cost about 140 bucks and about an hour of your time.

stick some ball joint spacers up front don't wind the torsion bars up it'll ride like shit and fatuige them more. that will give you about 1.5-2 inches of lift then either get taller coils for the rear or spacers be sweet with 32s might scrub a bit under flex with 33s.

1 hour to do a body lift ?, whats involved in doing that , what do i have worry about and look out for , do the brake lines reach ? , what about steering column , and the bumper bars will have a 2 inch gap , is it as simple as un doing bolts putting in new spacers and thats it ?

Mate its going to take you an hour just to cut the blocks and drill the holes 14times. Good days work to do the bodylift and raise your bars, 2inch you should be right with your steer,brake lines, shroud, fuel filler and gear levers. But definately not an hours work.

so what your saying mate if i just buy the body lift blocks and bolts , the job would be and hour or so , im going to do this , i found A link doing this and its saying i need to drop the radiator and cut and put a new piece in the gear lever , when i lift do ih ave to loosen anything ie : the steering shaft . also what best compound for the lift blocks , also a 2 inch block only lifts the car and inch will it be enough for my 32's ?

body blocks are about 100 bucks for the 10 you need and 40 for the bolts maker sure u mesure the old bolts befor you buy the new ones because they arent all the same. i only takes 1 hour to put in. i didnt need to drop my radiator i just had to mess around with my fan shroud. make sure u have about 10mm of play in the steering shaft uni's. there are 3 of them 1 in your engine bay and 2 under your dash . make sure that you undo all of them befor jacking the body of your car. you wont have to worry bout your brakes i have had no problems with them. the only problem ive had is when u fill up with petrol you have to stuff around with the nozzel because your fule line would of been stretched a little. other than that it is hell easy and there is no reason you cant nock it of in an hour or 2. oh and with your gear stick if you take of your cover there is a metal plate holding your heat cover down you will have to cut that middle bit out for it to go into gear properly.
