It won't work. The reason that works on the 4runner is because the torsion bar connects to the upper control arm. Putting a spacer on the upper ball joint will only serve to push the upper control arm further up in the air and would not give any lift.

And since the lower ball joint goes down through the steering knuckle and space is VERY limited, you cannot add a spacer down there either.
