Question

my question is this...

i run some type of 4-5 year old 5" springs on my 4runner currently, with 37"s.. i broke the front driver's leaf and i want to replace it with something lower. I've come to a decision that i would rather run 35"s instead of 37"s, but i certainly don't want a skyscraping rig on too small of tires. My fenders are cut out quite abit, so i'm wondering how low you feel i can go, and still have room for the 35"s.

My question is, should i go with 3", or 4" springs?





here it sits with somewhat worn 35"mtr's back in the day... i don't want it to sit so damn high.



So, what size spring would you guys recommend? and which brand ie. Marlin, Trail Gear and so on...

thanks,

-Jason

Jason,
What about some 3" TG's or Marlin's? I feel it's better to keep trimming the fenders and reduce the overall height. See you tomorrow!

i would go with 3" and get some shorter shackles for the back to level it out and lower it down some.
