I have a 85 extra cab yota. 31 inch tires. Elocker front and rear. What size springs should I get and where from. Good set of shock to? Everyday driver and I trail it too.

With 31's I'd go with stock height John R springs.

I'm new and have just started into my 84 4x4 manual. I need new springs as the stock ones are shot. I have been looking at a set of 3"lifted springs from pro comp but am worried about having to change out any steering components or other attachments. I would like to be able to fit a set of BFGs 33s on it. Can anyone help me with this?

3" is nothing to worry about. kit probably get everything necessary. toys is overbuilt anyway so you got decent leeway. if your worried about steering just run smaller lighter tires until you can beef up. or stockpile everything then do one shot

stock steering willbefine with 3 inch lift and 33 inch tires just your tie rod ends and steering arms before everytime your going to beat it up pretty bad

finally ordered my OME front and rear springs with bushings.I assume I can re-use my shackles and Ubolts...anybody know?

85toy4runner

not sure about shackles , but I would get new u bolts and nuts .. can you keep us updated on how it goes and how you like them vs the old ones. thanks

dzldust

I have quite a few new "stock" u-bolts,did not know if the spring packs are that much thicker to warrant new u-bolts

85toy4runner

oh I see , yeah not sure I have been holding back on new springs couse I have factory size tires 225/75/15 , I dont no how new springs will look because im sure new springs will lift it up and I dont want it to look goofy

London84T

I reused my u bolts but got new locking nuts for them. Just sanded them down and painted them and they're good as new

Extended Shackles will provide a little lift(half of what you increase in length, so stock is about 3.5"---if you got to 5.5" shackles it's about 1" extra lift).

Longer shackles would help the ride a bit also. Gives the springs more room to flex. You can re-use the old u-bolts/nuts, but they're cheap enough new that I wouldn't risk it. Just my thoughts....

thanks for that info rokblok
