rollover prevention

[Runner Rider]

i am heavily considering a lift for my 4runner, i have found a lift that i may get that is 4''. i know that the 4runner is top heavy already and has a reputation for rollovers. i dont want this to happen to me. i dont have the money or time to do an axle swap to get that extra width, but i have seen and thought about wheel spacers. would the extra 3-4" in width really make that much difference, and is it worth the couple hundred dolars to get? also does anyone know anything else that i could do to help with this problem?

Improving the driver is an option. keep in mind that in some situations it's better to go off the road than over correct into a skid.

I've never heard that 4 runners have a rep for rollovers (and I own 2), but if you are that worried, don't lift it that much.
If you do, just remember, you're not driving a Corvette. A stock 4runner doesn't handle like a sports car, so a lifted one won't either. Use some sense when driving it. No sudden lane changes, etc.
Widening the wheelbase will increase the stability a bit.

i know that driving properly is what helps prevent rollovers, i am not speaking about on road rollovers. this truck is a hunting truck. the rollover that i am worried about is in a mudhole or on a "steep hill" just in case i just so happen to have to cross those things......i know that widening the wheel base will help it i was wondering if anyone had done this in this particular way and if it really helped enough to merit the cost
