Yeah Floyd is right, I've got
mine running about 1" higher than stock no problems. 2" is the norm for torsion bar lifts without upgrading, however more than a 2"
suspension lift on a lux is probally not neccesary anyway. Just put bigger tyres on! ;-)
If you do end up going more than 2" on the
suspension you'd need to fit a ball joint lift as
well so that you don't wreck your CV's. There are kits now avil. for the 4runner/surf/ifs hilux on these. My truck's still got the stock shocks from 1995 on it and handles very
well with HD Coils and Firestone air bags in the back. We also have a family of four (including one 6 month old and all the associated crap that goes with taking a baby to the bush!) and we even have the kitchen sink!! Still handles very
well even at 115km/hr. The shocks are no doubt getting long in the teeth but are not leaking and are still pretty responive so at this point I have no plans on changing them in the near future.
