That will all depend on the wheel width and back spacing. Best answer is to measure and find out:

I am curious to see if anyone has used 1.5 coil spacers on ome 890 rear coils.
I am looking to get a bit more lift in the rear, and to help with some sag, not much from gear i carry.
I know the 891 are more firm and suited for additional weight, but also don't want to hurt my rear articulation. If anyone has any suggestions or input it is greatly appreciated. Thanks

hi-
i have a stock 92 4runner, w/ rear spring sag. it is used around town at sea level, occasional on fire roads, and occasionally for snow driving in Tahoe.
i was going to run KYB Gas Adjust up front and KYB Monomax in the rear and install new OEM coils, but just scored a set of front and rear Bilstein shocks, F4-B46-1469-HO and F4-B46-1468-HO and Performance Products 109911.2 Rear Springs, from a 1995 4runner in a junkyard.
if i run the above Bilsteins and Performance Products springs, what else would you suggest i do as part of the installation, other than ultimately, an alignment?
with the parts described, would it be better to adjust the torsion bars, change out the torsion bars for ? torsion bars, or to get ball joint spacers? please advise.
thanks much.

This thread helped me choose an OME suspension lift for my Runner. It has been a huge increase in performance and clearance for about $1500 (parts & installation). I got the Nitro Charger shocks, heavy duty springs, 4 new CV joints, torsion bars....now she eats up rugged Northwest roads on our way to trail heads. Installation by Bayview 4x4. Gene is a great guy and really knows his stuff. Thanks for all the info!!

Here's the components i already have that i want to use on my 1992 v6 4runner with 150k to remedy the OEM rear spring sag and get a slight lift:
Performance Products 109911.2 Rear Springs (do any of you know the specifications for these springs? if so, please respond)
Front Bilstein Shocks
B46-1468-h0 or F4-B46-1468-H0 or 24-014687 (all same shock, just changing part #'s)
Collapsed 9.33" Extended 13.78"
Lower mt. 16mm eye Upper mt. pin
Rear Bilstein Shocks
B46-1469-H0 or F4-B46-1469-H0 or 24-014694 (all same shock, just changing part #'s)

Ok, so I just poured through the last 22 pages worth of posts. . . . . . I might not have seen it, I was scrolling pretty quick, but I am trying to find a 2nd gen with 6" of lift and 33's. I am working on this trade for my first 4runner, trading a 93 yota pick-up, and it's got 4" of suspension lift and a 2" body lift. There's dinky road tires on it now, but I wanna know what it'll look like when I put my wheels and tires on it from my pick-up; as we are swapping. Anyone that can qoute a post or throw photos of their rig up that have these numbers in it? Thank you!!!!

You can fit 33s on a stock 4runner so whats the need for the 6 inches of lift?

I pretty much figured it's going to look dumb, I'm trying to figure out how dumb... The guy I'm buying it from said the guy before him had it all installed. There's a four inch suspension and a 2" body lift. I wanna take the body lift out, but I don't have the resources to do it myself and it would cost a grand to go through a shop. So, until I come across someone with the gear and the know-how to pull the body lift off of it, I am stuck with a way too high 4runner. But the thing is in good shape with less than 100k on the odometer. Anyone in Virginia area feel like helping pull a body lift off? I'll supply the beer!!! Anything to save a grand and not look like a dumbass driving down the road in an overly jacked up 4runner!
