all depends on how big the lift is?Originally posted by big jimmy
small then no probs... big then should be alright so long as it's all been done properly.
are the adjustable dampers the 0em ones? of so then swap them for some aftermarket extended ones.nee nar nee nar, i'm a fire engine! -

Shocks should be matched to the lift, you need to know how much lift to order the right length shocks. You don't need adjustables, Rancho make some but are twice the price of Procomps which will do just fine. If they are Toyota shocks, they will be stock length and will probably be to short to make the most of the extra suspension travel when offroading.
If its all body lift, no suspension changes are made, up to 2" of suspension lift will need little alteration, more than that needs brackets to lower the rear 5 link bars, the front will have dropped diff mounts so the front geometery doesn't change much apart from the steering linkage.
