there is a company that sells 5 or 6 inch lift blocks. But you would have to figure out how to extend your brake lines and steering that much

As previously stated, body lifts over 3" are kinda dangerous. Sure, the engine and trans stay low, but the weight of the cab and box still puts alot of leverage on the mounts. This gets exagerated with frame twist. I've seen 5 out of the 8 body mount bolts rip through on a low rust, good condition 4runner after moderate off roading and that was with a PA 3" kit!

Littlebeep3 where in NC are ya from? These guys have said it best tho...A 2in Level and Shocks and a 3in PA body lift is your cheap yet best way to get the height you want. I already ordered my leveling kit and shocks from Fatbobsgarage.com for like 181 with the military discount. And my wifes dad owns a dealership / tire / oil change / inspection station. So got some Toyo 33x12.5R20 for free. I won't be able to do anything until Oct when my drive arrives in NC from HI...

The op is probably referring to the PA 5" kit. That kit is actually a 3" body lift and a 2" front level. They advertise it as a 5" bodylift.

Here it is right here- PA 5" lift and you can clearly see the coil spring spacers in the bottom right.
