Rear coilovers, 3rd gen?
Just a random thought. I realize the rear suspension flexes pretty good already on 3rd gen 4runners, but would there be any advantage to switching over to a coilover setup? I suppose you'd still have to worry about driveshaft/skid plate interference... I'm just thinking out loud.

I don't think you'd gain much without reworking the link setup (longer) and cutting holes in the cargo area for attachment points for longer coilovers shocks. Maybe a longer slip joint on the D-Shaft too?

generally speaking leaf springs are the easy way, and are proven to work. The coilovers would take alot more planning and research. Soemday i'd kinda like to do F/R coilovers cause they are just so "bling"

There is no real reason to do this or practical way to do it on a rig that has a rear compartment that is closed.
Linked buggies or pickups are pretty straightforward because you can hack away. The correct geometry will go farther with regular coils.
