Fixing old 1st gen suspension. New leafs (plus lift)
Old toyota. Rides like ˟˟˟˟. Broken springs ()
So far i ordered wheelers 5 spring 1.5" lift leafs and ubolts bushings, RC9000 shocks, all that "expensive quick" stuff. $610 before shipping. Hopefully under 7 shipped.
However, fixing the fronts will cost slightly less than this, hopefully. Anyone have a cost effective solution that may or may not involve ebay auto parts (ugh). For the front i was thinking 2" lift, coils/struts/ball joints/bushings galore, to level out the front/back. (subwoofer enclosure in ext cab. No canopy) Sound good?
For assembled struts/springs i'm hoping for, uh less than $200/side?
Someone please save me some money. The chevron refinery blowing up on the west coast isnt helping anyone. Especially me.
Forgot to say, I can assemble the struts/coils as i have access to a press. I must say, on wheelers 4x4 site, the strut assembly/purchasing is confusing. You can buy OME coils, and struts seperately but you have no clue if you get the plate or not. i think not but they do not offer that part for sale. So if i assemble my own struts/coils i must purchase all nessecary parts to do this! Or just reuse old ones? my front end is starting to feel really bad.
