Body lift

does anyone know if there is anything that needs to be extended when putting 2 inch body blocks into an 90 model 4runner. cheers.
Yep, I do.
Before you start putting in the blocks, get extended brake lines fitted, extend the steel lines in the engine bay(brakes and clutch) they are wound up in a coil- carefully unwind them, use hitensile bolts/nyloc nuts and the original bushes/washers/spacers for the blocks, you may need to extend the fuel filler hose as well.
Do the front, then the back then the ones in between, checking and rechecking everything while you go.
When alls done and fitted, check and recheck everything again, you may need to trim some of the fan shroud, if the fan hits, you may need to trim out around the gearstick/hilo range selector, but check first. If you have any trouble getting into 2nd gear or reverse, then trim. Same with the Hi-Lo selector.
If you have a bullbar, that will have to be raised to suit your body lift, easy as cut, weld in a piece, refit, but you will have to figure out where to cut and how much to weld in.
Thats about it.
Do a search using the function at the top of page, before you go. Theres more threads on this topic.
JUst go slowly and check/recheck everything as you go. Its a fairly easy mod to fit.
Good luck.
