Does anybody know where i can get a 4" lift for my car and how much would it cost? my car is IFS front and coil rear...

Is it worth getting adjustable air suspension? and what are some good brands to look at? and how much would it cost?

Cheers

This would be your best bet http://www.toyotasurf.asn.au/forum/index.php

I would imagine you could do a 2" bodylift and then a 2" suspension - replacing your rear springs and winding up your torsion bars.
BUT
you know what you should do dont you! :armsup: SAS IT :armsup:

snake racing do kits for aobut 2g's for the front and 4 shocks. 1 work of advice though, IFS if Grimace to work on so pay someone else to install it.

i got a 4'' pro comp ifs kit and 2'' and torsion bars wound up 1 1/2'' on my ifs lux.

There are heaps of different kits, check the surf site as there is a few posts on it there.

Cheap option is ball joint spacers but this has problems.
several kits available, do a google search.
Pro Comp
Superlift
Calmini

etc

all much the same.
work fantastic just make sure you put in lokkers otherwise you will bust front diffs if you put the matching bigger tyres to the lift.

From memory snake racing had a kit for the front for about $1500 not installed. They are just bolt on kits fairly easy to DIY. Rear just get 80 series springs and make a drop bracket for the panhard rod.

Hope this helps a bit.

Just did a 4" pro comp kit from snake racing $1500, went together well only mod needed was to run exhaust over the front shaft. Looks sweet gotta drop my 4" body lift down to 2" but first thing i did was wind torsion bars back down to factory height so it all works well runs 35's no wuckers :)

My Old runner.....I ran 2" Body, 2" Susp for a while, then went to 3" body to lessen the scrubage.

My current 4runner runs 3" susp (ball joint lift) and 2" body and 33's.
