Don't waste your $$ on an IFS lift. If you want to run 35's, go with a 3" body lift, 1.5" balljoint spacers in the front, and either spacers or longer coils in the rear. You may have to do a little fender trimming or pounding, but it'll be alot less tippy than with a 4" IFS lift, and you can use the money you save for gears since it'll be a dog and get terrible gas mileage with 35's and stock gearing. Just my opinon!


I think a used IFS lift is worth spending the money on. I would not do more than a 2" BL, especially if you want to do a solid axle swap in the future. Most aftermarket Toyota springs are going to give you 4"+ of lift, so if you have a 3"BL already, you will be a lot taller than you need to be. Somewhere in the 1-2" range isn't a bad way to go, especially since it will make installing rock sliders and lifting your drivetrain easier.

A used IFS lift can be had for a few hundred dollars. Many people sell them when they do their SAS. I have been very happy with mine and I don't feel tipsy. But that's just my opinion... we've all got one <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Here is a post I wrote on Pirate4x4 to outline how I feel about suggestions and the Toyota buildup experience. Read the first response to the person's question:
