how does it do? i am at a crossroads, i love the 4runner but am not sure if it is up to the duties of towing our boat. (Correct Craft Martinique, a big'ish boat)

How does the truck handle the load with the LC springs? we used to have a suburban but it is gone now and im not allowed to drive my dads company f250. soo, we are debating trying out the 4Runner. or me selling and upgrading to a LC80 series...... wich i dont want to do.

Any input?

I tried it once and they sagged like crazy, so I had to go back to my 891's and spacers.

oh i dont care about sagging, more stability. tounge weight is 500ish i think trailer weighs 3500-4k lbs

With a 500lb tongue weight and the LC coils you're going to have a very unstable rear end and it will be sagging below the level of the front end by a good bit-not a good idea.

you think so? hmm, well, ill have to bite the bullit and try it i guess, around the neighborhood and see how it does...
the lake is not close at all.... bummer.

I semi-regularly tow a 23' Larson bowrider boat that weighs ~4,800 pounds including the trailer. We have a tandem trailer, so I would imagine the tongue weight is around 400 pounds or so. The LC's do sag some, maybe about an inch or so, which brings the rear to the same height as the front on my rig.

I've been pretty pleased with how the LC's do while towing. They're a little softer that the OME's would be, but do fine for us. I tow our boat for about 50 miles and the springs have never presented any negative issues, other than being a little on the soft side. I would try the LC's to see what you think before you change them out...you might be surprised.

I wont change them out....
i might have to just upgrade to a bigger car...
