Question Where to get coil spacers?

Where can I buy a pair of rear coil spacers for my 91 Runner? and do they even make front spacers for 2nd gens?

Ive got some 2-5/8" Coil Spacers for a 2nd Gen for sale...

They were never installed, I decided to go with longer HD coils instead...

These are custom made to fit a 90-95 4runner, excellent shape..

$125 + shipping

Thanks,
Dan

Are they only rear spacers? 2-5/8" might be too tall for me. I was aiming for like 1-1/4" to clear 33's with no problems.

I'm not sure about 2nd gen trucks, but for 3rd gen 4runners, you need a minimum of 2" of lift to clear 33's.

Youll end up pretty much curing the rear sag, if there is any. If not, all youll need to do to compensate for your rear being higher is crank your t bars a little bit.

Try jacking up the rear of your truck 2-5/8" and look at it. Youll notice that it looks better....

Thanks,
Dan

You cannot get spacers for the front of 2nd Gen runners. They have torsion bars.

You really only need 1" of front lift to fit 33's on a 2nd Gen.

This is my truck with a 1" bodlyift and no other front lift. Cranking the torsion bars loses travel and degrades ride unless you have a heavy and I mean capital H heavy front end. Cranking them only gains clearance at ride height. When you compress, it is all gone again.

Here is my truck on 33's with a 1" bodylift, some cruiser coils and some long Ranchos.


It wheels all right.

I cured this with Downey HD coil springs so no problems there I just want spacers to add some more suspension lift

I've already got a 2" body lift so I should clear 33's with minor torsion bar crank if any at all, and since I'm going to go with 33"x10.5" there should be less of a rubbing issue

If you were wanting to go with wider tires, just get some cheap ass rims with a 3.75" or 4" offset.. thatll take it out enough so they dont rub..
