lifted my 2nd gen, now my butt sags
I put a pro comp lift in my Second gen... when doing the rear, I notice that my truck was equipt with eibach springs.
Now my truck sags bad in the rear, it looks like all the other crappy saggy 4runners running around town.
I'm guessing that the eibach springs kept the sagg out of my butt department, but now that I'm lifted I'm sure they don't have longer springs.
here is a pic from last year sometiime before the motor went kaboom and before I put the lift in.... Now keep in mind there is over 500lbs of equipment inside the back area, and at about 500-650lbs of tonge wieght from that trailer.
that truck picture was in a folder with some pictures of pool tile that I've cleaned. here is a picture mid clean of the pool I was cleaning that day. The home owner guessed that it had been 30 years since the pool tile had been cleaned. One the left is 30ish years of buildup, on the right is after I cleaned.

what is up with that tile pic???
anyways, you could run some 4" superlift/pro comp/trailmaster rear springs. you'll definitely have to do something about the control arms, but they would give you the height you need...

guess I should have made myself a bit more clear. I put on a 4 inch procomp lift. Now after removing the eibach springs and putting on the procomp 4 inch taller springs, my rear end sags in proportion to the rest of the truck.
It's like I raised the front end 4 inches, but the rear only went up 2
what's wrong w/ the tile pic? read the heading above the picture if you confused why it's there...

does anybody make a 6 inch lift kit? If I could get a spring from a 6 inch lift, then that should even it out.
I would rather do spacers as my last resort...
