i just put in my OME901 coils and got 2.25 lift out of them in the rear of my 92 4runner. my before the new coils measurement(fender to ground) was even on each side, now 1 side is 1/4"-1/2" taller than the other and the axel isnt centered anymore. The rubber seat on top of the coil has slightly bunched on both but i an not sure as to that being the cause of my problem. Any input as to what i might want to try to level it out. As far as the axel being outta whack in 1 direction i have a few questions-a.) is it safe to drive as is b.) where can i buy a drop down bracket for the trac bar?

did you do a panhard drop bracket?

Y2Krunner

No- i am looking for one

Panhard Drop it. Just Google it, and you should fine some. I got mine from Downey Off Road, you can check w/ them.

I think the reason why one spring is taller than the other is to compensate for weight issues on the passenger side versus the drivers. I think I put the longer one in the pass. side. Get a 1.5" drop bracket now...I got the same coils and haven't done the bracket yet but plan to when I can get the money. The 1.5" isn't gonna hurt ya at all as far as being off center...anything over 2" I would consider it a done deal in getting the bracket.

Y2Krunner

everywhere i have tried only sell panhard drops to accomodate 3''+ lifts (downey and pro comp) what size drop bracket do people use for the OME 901 HD springs that give a little over 2" lift?

callmej75

Theres some company that offers 1.5" brackets...but couldn't remember who it was. I run with no bracket.

Y2Krunner

and you dont have any issues with your driveshaft hitting your gas tank skid plate while off roading?

callmej75

Nope.....

Y2K,

Got my pan hard drop bar from Steve at sonoransteel.com. I got the bolt on. He also sells the weld on bracket. The only thing is, you have to send him your old bar to get the core charge ($150.00) back. I have a 97 4Runner SR5 4x4 Option.

Y2Krunner

that would suck being without it for a few weeks (shipments clearing customs). i have a drop bracket on the way from downey.

NRM

so which bracket did you go with then? the one to accomodate 3+" or did you find the 1.5 from downey, cause i'm looking to do the same thing...

Y2Krunner

my coil springs actually gave me over 2" of lift in the rear. i was told that the downey 3"+ one is that one that will do the trick for me... so im banking on it.

that should work for you. You didn't mention extended brake line ...make sure that gets done. Did you extend your sway bar end links also? that's another thing.

Y2Krunner

didnt do the brake lines- they seem to be fine, i had the axel completely hanging when i replaced the coils and they werent pulled that bad. didnt know about the sway bar end links

forgot one other thing....the porportioning valve bracket.
If you're raising the driver side mount of Pan hard bar then it'll go up with it. If you're droping the passenger side, then you need to bring that up 2" cause you are not doing a lot of braking in the back.

Y2Krunner

that a custom fab thing?

Nope, Downey has the brake proportioning valve relocation bracket too. Comes with their rear lift package for the 2nd gen 4Runners. Should be able to order one of those to go with your panhard drop bracket.

Y2Krunner

well isnt that special..... i have a drop bracket on order in transit, but didnt know about the BPV bracket... ลลลล

byron4

i also have the OME 901HD's(not installed yet) for my 93. so i need...
- coils
- panhard drop bracket
- brake porportioning valve drop bracket
- extended brake lines
anything else.......... now im wondering why i didnt go with downey.

thanks
