    Might also try http://www.summitracing.com/ They ship over seas and you can look up the p/w shock you want and see what shipping will run on their web page.

    greenhouse507- try using a hosting site such as facebook to upload your pics from. Load them there and then copy the url and paste it here. The picture will then show up, without trying to load pictures from this site.

    if your running cranked t bars and plan on running bj spacers, I would just run stock LC springs. I hear even with BJ spacers and cranked t bars it still isn't quite level, and the stock LC coils rides so smooth for me

    Nice looking ride man!!!

    Probably not too much here is mine with LC Coils and "no" bj spacers, I'm running 33's. I have them just not enough time to get them in.

    wow i am really confused now

    Guys,
    Maybe you can help me, I have a 1995 Toyota 4Runner 4x4.
    I want to replace the suspension ,but i am not interested in making a rock crawler or a monster truck. I was considering a Old Man Emu suspension kit,but i don't know who is reputable and also what items i will be looking at to order.
    I am reading coil spring spacers,ball joint spacers,fj80 springs ,drop brackets ect.
    All i am looking to do is get rid of the sag and have a better ride, i don't care about the ride being a whisker on the stiff side.
    I had air bags in the current springs in the rear but a lady hit my passenger side rear rim and the impact popped that bag and well now i live with sag.

    I like the look of the 80 landcruiser coils,but worry that i will have to buy extensions for brakes,,will the drive shaft have to be replaced?Will i have to have custom torsion bars made?what will i need for this?
    I like the Old Man Emu kit bit i haven't a clue who is a reputable dealer/seller. I also don't know if i could install it.
    so what i am asking is that my first choice would be the landcruiser coil lift,my next would be Old Man Emu kit.

    These two look the most correct

    I bought my old man emu lift from TRDparts4u.com I wouldn't recommend the coil spacers with the fj80 coils, it will make your rear way higher than the front. I have OME 901 coils in the back with 1.5" bj spacers up front and that makes it ride pretty level. Going any higher in the front will cause you to run into issues with binding the front cv joints.

    If you just do the coils in the back, you will not need to extend the brake lines unless you plan on disconnecting the rear sway bar for more articulation, but since you say you aren't building a crawler, leave the sway bar connected. Look at my signature for list of parts for roughly 2" lift. (I haven't updated picture from stock yet)

    This is pretty much the tried and true streetable lift with front IFS.
