85 4Runner with a Rough Country 3" suspension lift
 
Which consists of new front and rear springs, and new shocks.
.... I guess he's not "bone-stock" anymore!

The ride is surprisingly stiffer. You really can't put your coffee cup down anymore. LOL

Someone suggested that the stock shocks are crap and if I upgraded to nitro shocks it would make a difference. But that's not gonna happen right away...

I am thinking that the springs might need half-a-year to mellow a little. My 87 has mellowed in the year after its SAS/lift.....

take it offroad once and itll mellow out thats what i did with mine

thanks.so its pretty stif huh.. these factory SFA aint the smoothest ride anyways. reason i ask is i was gonna do the rough country 3in springs rear(since they mount in factory location), and stock RUF, or RUF and 63s. its still up in the air

I don't plan to wheel this one, just DD. My intent was just to get the front tires to quit rubbing on the hard turns. When I get more time, I'll probably throw a set of Chevy 63's on the back, and a set of backs on the front... I'm thinking that should put me in a "split the difference" position, and smooth things out some. Stiff ride isn't a big problem to me.

I wonder what the effect of back-on-front is?

drzeus 02-27-2010 08:50 PM

looks good. You plan on keeping the same wheel/tire combo?

bryanchatfield 02-28-2010 05:51 PM

I'm thinking about buying the same kit, does anyone have more pictures of it installed?

migrig854runner 04-01-2010 05:11 PM

heres mine with 33 on 15x10 wheels. putting 35 on with shackles and cutting fenders.https://www.yotatech.com/picture.php...pictureid=9957

nice, I have the 2nd Generation 4inch Rough Country Lift and it has held tough! The ride was definatly stiff at first but it only takes a few wheelin trips to smooth it out

yota_lover88 04-02-2010 11:06 PM

I have an 85 Pick-up SR5, and I just got the Rough Country 3" kit and before I start tearing my truck apart, I was wondering if I needed to do anything with the stearing and/or the drivesafts. Any info will help.

Yotapowa 04-05-2010 01:30 AM

The driveshafts you can leave alone, and I am almost 100% certain you don't have to do anything to adjust the steering. It will handle differently, and if you plan on adding on the the 3 inch lift later on, a hysteer system will be good.

Pickup and a 4Runner are not setup up identically in the rear end.
