94runner- Rear end sag remedies?

So of course my 4 runner is afflicted with the @$$ sag that all do. Currently running Bilstein HD's on all four corners, and 32" Hankook MT's. She rides like a charm and handles everything thrown at her yet, just wish it didn't sag. Anybody come across a good remedy that doesnt make it ride like a coffee table and rattle your fillings loose? Oh, and anyone relocate their fuel tank to the spare tire spot under the rear for symmetrical clearance in front of the 4-link? it's killing me having to angle some spots where it's tight so i dont scrape the tank. Keep rockin!!!

Coil spring spacers can help with the sag if you are otherwise happy with the springs. As the spring rate is unaffected with spacers, the ride is pretty much the same:

My '93 had the famous 4runner rear drag and my research landed me to the OME rear coils. Everyone I asked said that the way to go... but if your looking for a cheap way around it, Daystar makes a rear coil spacer that will lift its rear 11/2" and it only costs around $40... but the spacer is just kinda a band-aid. I would suggest getting the new coils.

Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated. This is my first yota and I'm stoked so far, already pulled out a couple of chevy's after driving by em in the mud and hearing their offer of beer for a pull- my liver instructed me to be a nice guy.

The liver is wise.

YEa theres lots of options.

Coil spacers
OME (old man emu) 901s (heavy duty)
OME 900s
Land cruiser coils (3-4'' of lift)

Um....yea, search around and you will find lots of write ups and opinions about this.

Looks at the sticky called, 2nd gen 4runner lift guide

If you lift the back any more then stock hight, you should get some ball joint spacers to lift the front.


DUDE1!!!!!! YOU ARE IN HILLSBORO TOO?

ome 901hd's and 1.5" control arm spacers give you a nice level look. Although if you don't want to do anything up front, some spacers in the back would do the leveling trick. I wouldn't give up my ome's coils or torsion bars now that I have them.



Before 901's


After 901's


I even added airbags for more load.
