ZUK coils???

Finally getting aroung to doing the ZUK coil spring install. Can anyone pass me a link on where I can get a pair. Seems everyone is getting them off ebay but I cant seem to find them.

I understand the 12 inch ones will put my 88 4runner back to the right highth and the 14 inch ones will give a lil lift. I want to get the factory highth and a better ride. Any suggestion.....

I put 12 in. 150lb coils and it put me back at stock height. The 14 in coils I bought were to high for my truck, although the 4 runner is a little bit heaver. Best mod I've done yet!

I have a 4 inch lift and 3 inch blocks in the back that will be coming out. I got the 14" 125# coils to hopefully get the back end of my truck back up 3".

That same seller has several auctions and you can pick your size during payment.

I just used a pair out of a 82-86 Toyota Supra, cut a loop off, and stuck them over my bump stops

Stock ride height, and handles a big load quite nicely. A little bouncy when empty.

More questions....Does anyone know about how much lift the 14 in. colis will give.. I am thinking of putting 2 in spacers on the front and coils in the back..Any feed back would be helpful....

I put the 14" 125# springs in, removed 3" blocks, and I'm back to where I was with the 3" blocks. I had pretty flat leaves already if that makes a difference.

Unfortunately, I was too excited to put them on to take any measurements!

zuk netted 5" plus with 14's

Put the Black Magic 14" 150lbs on my 88 runner last weekend with new skyjacker nitro shocks all around and ended up 5.125" right / left 5.25", went from ass saggin to lookin like a 60's street rod. (L=9.75" to 15" & R= 9.625" to 14.75")

the ride with the 14's really leans in corners so im looking to add a rear sway after i swap to the 12's.
FYI logistics in alaska is bitch sometimes / i hope to receive 12's by this weekend
I will follow up after 14/12 swap with pix from both sets.

I put a set of 14s @ 125lbs in the back of my runner to match my pro-comp 4" front. With the back on it's almost leveled out, with the back off it's perfect.

Thinking of going with the kit on wabfabs page....2in spacers in the front and add a leaf in the rear for a 2in lift...i emailed him and he said that he had installed this setup on several trucks and it works nicely with some new shocks...Has anyone else tried that setup?

I finally received my coils after some shipping errors...I bought the TJ coils (front) and I'm going to try the weldless ZUK mod like DJ99 did. The TJ coils are 17 inches! So I also would like to know how short I need to cut mine. I'm also looking for the stock ride height, but wouldn't mind a little bit of a "raked" look to it. Anything beats that saggy rear. I guess I'll try 14" first...I can always cut more off later. I'd just like to get it right the first time.

I will let you know how this turns out.

When I did mine I cut the coils to 10.5" and it was just right for stock height. Mine were off a Fox mustang and they fit over the bumpstops fine.
