I know ive asked this all b4 but i have had a shit of a day , today i was meant to get my body lift put in my car but things fell through , the guy that was goin to help spoke to 4x4 mechanic and he said it takes at least a full day to do body lift on a 4runner (also a have all the bolts and bodylifting blocks ), also need to watch forthings that may go wrong . What i need to know it how long does this usually take , and what do i need to watch out for , im aware of loosening the 3 uni joints on the steering , unscrewing the rubber around the gearstick , removing the bottom radaitor shroud so it doesnt hit , brake lines arnt a prob as the attached to the chassis , and other brake lines are coiled so they will stretch , fuel filler hose usualy get away with it , any help and advice would greatly appreciated as it looks like i gotta do it myself .

I done mine with my 7 year old boy helping me and it took about 2-3 hours aswell. I removed my old steering bush and put 2 new ones in to make up the gap. very easy to do. I just put a jack stand on my jack to fit the new ones in.

Use some wood to spread to load on the sills!
