Welcome to the site!
Question really is why do you want to lift it higher? I mean you're already rolling with 4" worth of clearance, that will be ample to run 35s and still have room to sleep in the arches (considering that 33s fit standard on these things, and you'll get most places on tyres of even that size) :D

I don't think you need to do a body lift ,mines 3" lift runs 35" easy, the higher you go unstablity come into. effect , and who the hell want to put your truck on its roof , leave that to the lifted hiluxs that we all laugh at :D

Atleast 3" is a minimum.
Just have to ensure to use h/t bolts and locknuts
Be awere of radiator mounts and fan relationships
All the rest will be good 8)

Then technically you would need to extend the track width 7" to restore stability.

That's a joke right??...must be!

If you want to lift the body then 40mm maximum, check fuel pipe from filler to tank (mine came off because it wasn't lengthened) plus all other pipes and lines, might want to do some homework on the stressing of the body mounts due to a body lift as well...they are known to crack and/or slip causing a 'clunk'.

Why are you fitting a body lift when you already have 4 inch suspension lift?are you planning on running 37inch tyres?
