Zuk mod, what size springs?
Considering the zuk mod for my 1992 pickup 3vze sr5 ext cab 4x4 pickup, was wondering if anybody did this mod with the exact same truck and what size spring and what spring rate would I need to bring my sagging rear up to stock height? Or way I can figure this out? I've added a longer shackle in the back still need about a half inch to get it level. Thanks

14" x 100?....14" x 125?
It works well when the coil is allowed to lift it 3 or more inches.....2 measurements are needed with your question.
With the truck setting on flat ground what is the distance between underside of frame and top of leafpack (where the coil will live)? guessing about 9"
Jack the rear bumper off the ground such that the rear tires are almost hanging in the air.....what is the new longer measurement where the coil is gonna be? should be no more than 14.5"

I did mine (1st gen 4Runner) with the front springs off a Jeep TJ. I cut them down to 6.5 coils, but I think I'm going to go back and cut another half inch off the coils as it sits a little tall in the rear.
Rides great though!
Great mod, ZUK!

At rest it measures 9.5. I need about a half inch to an inch of lift.
Didn't get to measure while jacking up the rear bumper yet.

I guess what you'd have to know is how many inches the springs will compress with each different spring rate for the pickup, I know the 4runner rear end is heavier so may compress differently.
