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.

X2 for wheel aling had to aling a few at work after they'd come in and ask why it'd lent the wheels in a heap obviously camber is out a mile out

Now are you talking body lift ie spacers between the cab and chassi rails or suspension lift?
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".

sooo it will be better if i jus leave it at 2". i got it at 2" at the moment. i jus wanna put 33's on it but i rubs

Just get a big arse hammer and take of the mud flap and plastic liner and pound the crap out of the seam on the firewall in the back of the guard.
With a decent bit of pounding you should clear OK.

i shall try it thanks matee

sorry bout all the questions bud but do u no how high a standard lux is?? i tried looking for it every where but cant find no results

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

mate ive got a 95 IFS hilux and done a 3" body lift so i could fit 35's on it.
i still get the rub on full lock .you also gotta extend the steering column.

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.

I've got a superlift kit and 2'' body lift. Its about 7'' above standard. My superlift kit cost me just under 2 g's about 2-3 years back.

thanka slot guess for ur help im looking into it!!! i will let uno how i go.
thanks again
