Early 4runner suspension

I have read a few posts on here about lifting and getting flex from hilux's. Just wondering whether this applies to early 4runners as well. I have 2inch spring and 2inch body lift. the front springs are sagged,but the back is good. When off road i have neally rolled it a few times as i don't have enough suspension travel. I was wondering what is the most cost effective and road friendly suspension mod to apply. I have heard of the ifs rear end and 8inch shackles with the inverted shocks, but what about the front. I won't be getting cross over steering, even though its a worthwhile mod(on next car). Where to go in Brisbane for some straight answers.

Any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated.

(am getting the 4runner dynoed in a fortnight, wil hope for around the 95kw range) then am upping the boost to 11 or 12 psi. currently at 8.5 to9. will post some pics. Also does anyone know where i can get an 8inch thermo fan thats really thin????

Not the best pic

In my old 4 Runner

Rear

Mazda Bravo Rear Springs with 2" extended shackles inwards facing shocks, 2" lift blocks

Front

Carrols Parabolic 2 Leaf springs with 60 Series LC Shocks on standard mounts

Flexed up pretty well, with the IFS rears in the back you will not line the wheel up with the wheel well on the 4 runner unless you want to move the front fixed mount forward
