2wd Lift Kit Recommendations

I was wondering what would be the best lift to get for a 2wd. I would appreciate no to get by the 4x4 guys if at all possible. Just want to lift it a few inches and tuck some larger tires underneath. I'm not planning on doing any hardcore wheelin', just some light stuff. So it doesn't have to be an agressive setup.

Re: 2wd Lift Kit Recommendations

Most kits are advertised to work on both 2wd and 4wd. Check the lift sticky for info and manufacturers sites.

Re: 2wd Lift Kit Recommendations

I thought about a toytec lift, but I went onto their website and it doesn't say if they work on 2wds or not. Does anybody know?

Good to know! I might have to check it out. I think there is a Toyota dealership here in the Dallas area that sells 'em. I like the Donahoe setup, but I don't wan't to shell out that kinda dough.

10-4. $119.00 vs. $620.00. I think I'll go with toytech for now. Maybe in the future I'll go with the DR stuff, it has great performance over the stock setup, but is costly.

Re: 2wd Lift Kit Recommendations

I can't say enough good about my new OME/ToyTec setup. I went with Medium Duty OME springs up front, OME shocks in front and rear, and ToyTec custom soft ride coils in the rear.

I payed around 690 out the door, but the install was straight forward and the drive has significantly improved both on and off-road.

Once settled, I got a good 2.5" or so inches of lift.

We went with the OME from Man-a-fre. Works like a champ. [IMG][/IMG]
