Default Getting a lift done

I'm interested in having my 4Runner '99 lifted to a tall but yet safe height. Are there any good shops out near VB and not like NC? Also, how big of a lift should I go for?? If anyone could link me to some lift kits stuff.. that'd be awesome. I'm not so savvy with this shit and I'd love to have some help from yall. Thanks!

i THINK eastern 4x4 or pungo offroad can install one for you.
i'd do about 3-4 inches so you wont have to change driveshaft angles and pitman arm angles and what not.

Oh yeah, I've seen the shop in Pungo several times. Their trucks looks badass! My transmission for the 4Runner is automatic.. so I'm not sure what a driveshaft angle or pitman arm angels are. , do you mind elaborating on these terms? Thanks!

Rear leaf springs or coils?

they make a 3 inch kit that you can put a 32 or 33 under...without doing a lot of mods thats your best bet.

is hi dust still around out that way? if you dont mind the drive i know a shop and some guys in richmond that could do the work and maybe save you some money

all yotas hav rear leafs.

explaining pinion angles and what not will get too complicated for you i think. just know that like said above about 3 inches should be good for you.

Anyways, it's simple to lift them. OME struts and shocks + coils. A couple hours and it's done.

www.trdparts4u.com is running a special on ome coils right now
