4Runner

My 4Runner was sitting down in the back so i put sonme shackles on it. I was thinking of getting some bigger tires but i need to get it higher for pretty cheap.my leaf springs are basically flat so i was thinking of getting helper springs for the back. what should i do about lifting the front a few inches.

You can either crank the torsion bars but you will get a stiffer ride or go with BL spacers.

1. Go to a spring shop, ask them to rearch the springs
2. Buy lift springs, downey, ome, etc sell them

To lift the frontend you need ball joint spacers www.4crawler.com

I have an 88 with leafs. They changed to coils in 1990, but the P/U changed in 89.

helper coil springs are bad I did this and it made the ride very bad and way too bouncy either get a helper leaf springs or new leaf springs stay away from the coil add ons.
