LC coil lift question please help
Ive been working outside for the last few hours on my 91 surf. I have finally gotten the stock springs out and ive noticed they are larger in diameter then the LC coils i have to put in. here are a few pics. Is this normal or did i get the wrong type of coils?

Well........... Toyota didn't want their springs to break or warp on their trucks so they put beefy springs... in ...... simple as pie...... the ones you got will prob be fine.

do you not see the difference in circumference? will the bottom of the springs become wider because they wont fit in the seats the way they are right now. p.s. they are both toyota springs.

they are LC coils = landcruiser coils. they came off of the right year but the only explanation i can think of is that they are front coils. I dont know to much about landcruisers though so im not sure of the difference between front/rears.

I guess the person who i bought them off sold me the wrong ones. I was just wondering if anyone has done this mod could tell me if this is normal or not.

what you could do...... is set them on there and get a torch and heat them up until they kinda just.... fall on.... i did that one time with a pair or spriings on a 90 4runner.... it worked good...

They do look a bit smaller than what I installed as well. I did mine the other week back. I have heard of folks using the front springs just can't remember for what?

Did you have to make seats for the springs or did you put them in as is. I bought the right coils today and i got the rubber seats with them off the landcruiser.
