they have torsion bars, and they are fairly easy to wind up for mild lift (up to about 40mm). any more than that gets very expensive. any lift at all puts excessive stress on the front suspension and driveline components, so if you intend to offroad it, you have to expect stuff to break.

It is a very common mod... 2in rear springs and a 2in lift via the torsion bars in the front. You will be able to go off road and they wont be that much stress in the front. Only if you do a 2in body lift that u might have stress on the front cv's, but but u can put a front diff spacer to lower it.

A bodylift has no bearing on suspension/front CV's.... if he winds the torsion bars up 2inches there will be a loss of downtravel and and increased CV wear due to the greater operating angle. This is what is compensated for with balljoint spacers and diff spacers.dar_sbb wrote:It is a very common mod... 2in rear springs and a 2in lift via the torsion bars in the front.

We did my brother in laws 4runner yesterday arvo. 2" raised springs in the back and cranked the torsion bars up to match. Made a HUGE difference and only took a bit over an hour to do the lot. Still drives ok. Havent had a chance to take it off road yet so we will see how it goes then. Will find out if the 33" muddies fit ok on Monday.
