Default Anyone ever do a body lift on a Yota?

I have a 3" body lift I want to put on my 88, but I'm kinda unconfident due to the fabrication I have to do to the steering column. If anyone has a good write up or know an easy way to do it that would help alot. Thanks.

you need the firewall plate, a steering column extender. and thats about it.

i actually have a full allmost brand new body lift, including all the brackets (bumper lift brackets, steering linkage extention, firewall plate, longer body mount bolts, radiator relocation brackets (i think( and everything.

you can have it for 75.00

when you do the body lift you have to make sure all your throttle cables and things like that are not stressed, pretty much check all the wiring under the hood.
if you want also im sure we could do if for ya. just let me know.

big difference in the two.

you have rack and pinion steering. linkage is different.

also the tranny linkage is different.

also i forgot to mention that focalx. if you have a std tranny the shifters need to be cut and lengthened. ( you dont just add a long piece at the end), to do it proper you need to cut it right above the "ball" and instert a rod in there. both the 4wd selector and the gear selector.

How much would it cost for a 3 inch body lift for a 2001. I am curious as to how much that would be added on to the suspension.Thanks

Well, I bought the whole kit that was suppose to have everything included and it didnt come with a steering extension, just came with instructions on how to fabricate your current steering shaft to get it to work. I didnt get a firewall plate either. How much would you charge me to give me a hand?

this reminds me of a sign i once saw, "oil change: 25.00 Oil change with you watching: 100.00"



take a picture of what you got, is it just the pucks? did you get any relocation brackets, for the bumper/radiator? any bolts?
