Body Lift Installation on a Toyota 4Runner

*Please Read Video Description and Pinned Comment Below*
In this video we show you how to install a Toytec 2" Body Lift on a 2002 Toyota 4runner 4x4. Even though this modification is done on a Toyota 4runner, the information you receive in this video could help you put a body lift on another make and model truck. The technique and steps would be similar but the number and location of body mounts might be different depending on the truck you're lifting.

**Note - One thing we don't mention in the video is you will now have a 2" gap between the body and front bumper and same goes for the rear bumper. The bumpers are attached to the frame and don't move when you lift the body. There are ways to address this by drilling different holes in the mounting brackets but we didn't bother showing this because Eric was going to replace his damaged front bumper with an aftermarket one in the near future anyway. If you do a search on the internet, you'll find a write-up or two how to do it if you don't want there to be gap between the bumper and body.

**Suggested Torque Value for Body Mount Bolts - 25 ft-lbf
