Where can i buy a suspension kit for hilux J 4x2 pickup? Any info where shops doing this conversion?  What brands are best in terms of performance and cost?
My intension to purchase a suspension kit is to:

>>Lift by at least 2 inches.
>>Lessen "tagtag"


Thanks in advance.

Lifting AFAIK is done to 4x4 pickups. By lifting, I don't think you'll improve the ride comfort. If its just 2 inches, why not get bigger wheels and tires instead?

good day sir.

i just bought a pickup hilux J also.

i installed size 20's rims so the ride is horrible. sobrang tagtag. so i went to zafra motors (banawe) and asked for help.
they gave me 2 options.

1. Remove some of the leaf springs
        - tagtag will be less 50% or more
        - disadvantage is hindi na pwede mag load ng masyado mabigat.

2. babaliktarin yung thickest leaf spring
        - tagtag will be less 30%
        - the rear will be lifted an inch or two.

i haven't tried any of those yet, cause bago pa yung oto. sayang ang warranty.
but i have a friend that went with the #2 option. he said parang oto na ang ride.
