kevin, 
my truck is a 1990 toyota 4runner v6 4wd 5spd.  it seems to be hard to
find any performance stuff like headers.  i would like the truck to
stand taller than itis now, but without sacrificing the safety of a
rollover. i have 31x10.50 r15 wheels on it now from the factory.
thanks again for any help  or advice you can give. Donny
