Tacoma springs on a 4Runner

cbrew325 · 11-06-2009, 08:47 AM

I've got a set of non TRD '01 V6 Tacoma front springs left over from putting different springs on that truck. Any idea what these would look like on my 98 4Runner? I wouldn't expect a big change, but maybe a 1/2" to 1" lift?

prob be about stock height

It would probably give you stock to under stock ride height. Not going to do anything for you. The 4runners are heavier and thus they have higher spring rates.

I thought Tundra V6 springs were all the rage a while back. Whatever happend there?

Tundra springs-particularly the TRDs I believe are a hot choice for up front on 3rd gen Runners

not Tacomas....I wouldn't bother just my 2 cents

Tacoma's are generally lighter than 4Runners, so I'd be surprised if it lifts at all. In fact, might LOWER it a bit.

Good info... thanks. Since it was mentioned above, what kind of lift would a set of TRD Tundra springs provide? Are those progressive like Tacomas?
