i was wandering how much it would cost to put a 3inch body lift on a 1987 toyota pickup 2wd

 

its really easy you could do it yourself in a couple of hours with simple hand tools.
im not sure how much the kit cost but i would do it myslef

 

i would if i knew how

 

Shouldn't they come with instruction booklets?

I personally prefer suspension lifts... in my opinion, it looks nicer.

 

ye athat true but i heard with body lifts u can have bigger tires

 

Well, if you get 4WD fenders on it, you can fit 33's with no problem (at least on the 4x4's), but suspension lifts do increase travel, so off roading is a little easier on IFS, but hey, it is your truck.

 

i would like a suspension lift but they r 2 expensive

 

I've also read that suspension lifts are more stable.

 

Oh yeah, I've heard that. That's an idea I had for mine, problem is getting the cash.

 

yea that is my problem but see 4 a body lift is only 160

 

True... it is your truck, so you can do with it what you want.

Now I'm actually somewhat happy with my truck's height, I only use it for mild off roading, because rock crawling is not something I'm interested in. Nor is the standard 4WD IFS up for the challenge of HEAVY off roading, it's way too tippy on rocks.

I've rallied in it against a Silverado and that was fun, I may set mine up for that or sand blasting.

 

for the most part all you have to do is lift one side of the body and slide in the lift. the instructions give you step by step instructions. its really not as hard as it sounds

 

i would love to set mine up like that cause where i live there r so many mudding spots and so much offroading

 

not trying to be a dick but y do you want to lift your 2wd? thats just about as pointless as lowering a 4x4 ......

 

cause it bottoms out every were and i need it alil higher so it can go on dirtroads

 

y are you off roading with it thats just asking to get stuck i mean you could take the money your going to invest in tires wheels lift and suspension buy you a beater to take offroad

 

I've seen plenty of lifted 2WD Toyotas... there are even a few on this site. No differential to damage with the independent suspension and 2WD's are typically used in Pre-running anyway, it's actually pretty cool looking if you do it right.

 

and if your bottoming out your hitting frame not body so a body lift would be pointless because your frame would be the same height ......

 

cause where i love there r tons of dirtroads and i dnt wanna go but a junk truck cause i end up puting more money n 2 it

 

but i would b able 2 put bigger tires and that would help it not bottom out as much
