just lifted 91 4runner

i just lifted my 91 4runner with front land cruiser springs in the rear. I dropped the panhard arm and used 07 fj cruiser shocks. i lifted the front with ball joint spacers. do i need to do anything about my drive shaft angle in the rear? has anyone else tried something like this and are you having any problems?

Wheres the pics?

I thought you were supposed to use the rear landcruiser coils for a second gen, and the front for a 3rd gen?

You are, the front LC coils are narrower than the 2nd gen stock rear springs. The rears are similar in diameter, maybe even a little larger.

I bought some rear coils of a Landcruiser and i think both ends are the same diameter (i held them to some stock 4runner springs)! but i thought the fronts wouldn't even fit

the front springs for a land cruiser fit in the rear of my 91 4ruuner and lifted it like 3.0 inches they were really hard to squeze in,but they fit inthe original spring mounts. it was kind of sagging in the back so when i put the ball joint spacers in the front it still a little high in the ass end, but it looks ok. i'll put some picks up soon

maybe they are the rears my friend has a 99 and he was going to use them, but they were the wrong ones so he let me have them. and they fit in my 91. they probably sent him the rears instead fronts

You should be fine on your driveshaft. It might hit your gas tank when fully stuffed though.

Yes a lot of people use the LC coils in the rear, do a search and you will find some pictures, writeups.
