I just got ahold of a set of cruiser coils that I'm planning on putting on my 94 4runner along with some ball joint spacers for a cheap lift.

My question is: how much lift should I expect. The coils uncompressed measure 17.25" and 17.75". I know that compressed I'll lose quite a bit of this, but just wondered if anybody out there with cruiser coils remembered the length of there coils uncompressed and what they ended up gaining.

Any help would be great.
Thanks guys.

5.5" of lift for a set of stock LC coils... according to All Pro.

Depends on the coils if they are the long side or short side coils the short side only net me about 3.5" of lift.

the allpro coils are Old Man Emu 2.5" lift coils that lift a 4runner 5.5"

the stock ones lift a runner like 3.5-4.5 depending on what side you use

I've got a set of rear coils with a difference in length uncompressed of maybe 1/2".
Will the coils keep that difference or will it be magnified?
I understood from Slee that they had the same rate

To rehash...

I got two coils. One was definitely taller than the other. I installed the taller one on the passenger side and it leaned to the driver's side. I switched them and it leaned more.

Then I got two more coils. One was longer, one was shorter. The longer one was not quite as long as the longest one. The shorter one was about as short as the shortest one.

I installed two tall ones. The truck is level.

I think you are going to have too much rear lift.

Why is one of the coild longer than the other on the LC's?

Yes there was a slight difference in height of the coils I used the longer side coil on the gas tank side and the short of the drivers. You will need longer shocks and definately a panhard drop as well.
This is how mine sits I am on 33x12.50's with a 1.4" BL and the rear FJ80 short side coils. I still haven't installed the ball spacers.
