Been running my set up as a daily driver for a few months now does great on the highway,rubs plastic at full flex in front, fuel economy is about the same surprisingly, and the fj coils are awesome good flex smooth ride. I would have to say the worst part is the rough ride up front due to torsion bar crank .. and yes 3.75 bs not sure about the lift in front still leans forward a tad not to noticeable

 

i can not find anyplace that ships ome shocks to Canada. north shore off road wants 100 plus more than on line. anyone? alittle help... thanks! red Z

 

Have you contacted ARB to see if they have any other dealer/distributors in Canada?

red z in Canada we pay more. If you order from the States you will pay for shipping and duty. I have ordered loads from America for my 2nd Gen including an Old Man Emu steering dampener as I live in Yellowknife so I get bent over in shipping no matter where I buy.

Either pay the $100 at North Shore or pay over $100 in shipping and duty. If you are buying a bunch of stuff ask for a deal. I always get bargains by asking is this your best price. They want your business, there is Vancouver area competition.

Seeing as you can buy it from a Canadian local retailer perhaps you should support your local economy. When I am BC I buy as much as I can through T&S Suspension in Port Kells. The guy has a bit off a grump reputation but I liked his honesty and no BS attitude.

I assume your are in British Columbia right?

 

Hello here's my 93 4runner 5speed v6 456 gears new km2's 33 4inch lift. i just bought emu 2860 coils and 1.5" ball joint spacers to put on. Sorry if the pics are large i dont post often
This is with 80 series lc coils

Here are the emu 2860 coils

since it has/had a 4'' lift and you put the springs and bj spacers on it would it lower it?

 

what shocks are people running with the cruiser coils? I was looking at the bilstein 5125 for the rear and for the front too with my 1.5" ball joint spacers. would those be too long? im kinda picky, id like it to ride as nice as possible and matching shocks cause it would drive me nuts if they didnt match ocd wise lol.i dont mind spending an extra couple bucks for some nice shocks

 

what rear spoiler and front is that its super sick I want them

 

Hey sorry I just saw this reply haha. Yeah I camp on East Fork Rd. every year and hit up Elwood Pass. I love it up there

 

Hey guys looking for some help from people who run the Rancho RS9000xl the part numbers for the R: rs999187 F:rs999145. I cant find info if these are made for lifted runners. I will be doing the LC coils or the OME coils and im looking for a decent shock for the lift.

Anyone know if these will work? I found a killer deal on the rears.

 

New to the forum, did you all have problems with the rear end sagging on your 2nd gen 4runners? Thinking of a 2inch lift for my 1994 4runner, but don't know if I need to change the coils on the rear?

 

Common problem, spring sag over time. New coils or a coil spring spacer are some options:

Pretty much all 2nd gens you buy second hand come with rear sag. It's one of your first things to fix.

 

this Newb thanks y'all!

 

What coils do we use for our 4runners from the 80's series LC? The front or the rear?

 

can someone te3ll me if its safe to get a 2 inch suspension lift and 2' torsion bar crank and drive a few kms to get a wheel alignment pls

 

you should be fine. just dont get crazy on the speed, keep it slower.

 

Why yes you'll be fine. I see truck with horrible camber/caster on the street every day. Just dont wait 20k miles before doing it unless you like buying new tires.

 

A 2' (foot) torsion bar lift would be pushing things a bit

Assuming 2" (inch), then it should be OK, as mentioned, keep the speed down and check the handling on a quiet street or parking lot. You could also try a "driveway alignment", to get it fairly close:

Hi everyone. I have a question.... and yes I read through a good 60 % of this thread (again ? )

So, I have been working on gathering my 1.5 inch lift components (suspension of course). I found some progressive rate coils for the rear that I think I want ( http://www.northwestoffroad.com/part...suspension.php ) if anyone has any input on those please speak up!

So, this brings me to my question/concern. I want as much flex as I can get out of my rear end. I do take this thing offroading but I need to maintain a decent height and road going abilities. So, I was thinking that perhaps a longer yet softer spring would be beneficial... My idea is that when one side is compressing and the other side extending, the short spring stops pushing down on the axle long before shock reaches it's length limit. And those few inches are not really adding any traction since the spring is not compressed at all anymore. ANYWAY, so has anyone tried something like this? Or, are some of these aftermarket springs already accounting for this? (I understand installation of the springs will be difficult.. that's ok)
