Questions about newer V6 for MDT / recomended suspension l..

v6 engine rating versus recommended fuel.

I found a specification on the 2005 4.0 v6. and I was surprised.

The 2005 has a higher Horsepower rating.

Question Do all the 4.0 V6 require 91 octane and if not why does the FJ have
the high octane requirement while the HP rating is lower than the 2005
Tacoma ?


FJ
4.0-liter DOHC 24-valve SFI VVT-i V6
239 hp @ 5200 rpm;
278 lb.-ft. @ 3700 rpm

2007 Tacoma
4.0-liter DOHC EFI V6 with VVT-i
236 hp @ 5200 rpm
266 lb.-ft. @ 4000 rpm

2005 Tacoma V6
245HP 4.0L V6 DOHC 24V Engine w/VVT-i

Also: FJ suspension Lift kit recommendations...

I am considering getting some lift kit for improved clearance.
I know I don't want any raise that doesn't also increase spring travel, (no
blocks for the springs).
I also don't want anything too radical on the drivetrain angles.
Considering 2 to 4 inch.

I have thought heavily about Old Man Emu but they don't have the same
adjustability as Downey lift kits.

Any suggestions out there about the trade-offs on different suspension /
Lift kits.

for the lift try Donahoe Racing
