Looks good man, congrats on the purchase! I have a '94 black T4R, and to cure my saggy ass I put some allpro coils back there. Took me about an hour and a half to do, now it sits awsome. Doesnt even sag when I load the back up with a few hundred pounds of stuff. As for off road, I did some stuff, not too serious, no mud holes, just climbing, and it did fine, but I have lame ass Les Schwab tires on it (PO's fault).

Hey I had a suspension question. My T-Bars seem to be turned up so next paycheck Im buying a 1 1/4 coil spring block. Can I squeeze 33x12.50s under it with the right offset wheel? And can that little toyota motor push those tires to highway speeds? My little 22re couldnt barely get to 65 with my 32x11.50s.

I doubt your t-bars are adjusted up, when you bring the rear up it will level out. Most owners would not adjust the front up when the rear is sagging and with it kept stock I highly doubt the front was ever messed with.

I would recommend that you not waste money on the coil spring blocks. For under $100 you can buy progressive rate coils from NAPA auto parts. I ran them and absolutely loved the improved ride and price! On the note of springs, personally I think the stock t-bars are just a little to soft for the weight of the 4runner + v6. You may look into upgrading to Sway-Away t-bars (about $100) and I hear OME also have great t-bars but for a little more money.

Get some new coils out back, adjust the front to match and then choose if you want stiffer front bars or some ball joint spacers or better....both!

Your 3vze will pull 33's just fine. I ran 32X12.50's Mickey Thompson's which ran a full 32 inches and most 33's run around 32.5-32.8 inches. I could easily cruz at 80+mph and the pedal would need not be anywhere near the floor like my poor 22re pickup. I should add that I had a 5 speed in mine.

The Porkchop does well enough in mud with the craptastic 31 x 10.5 Dayton A/T's that came on it from the previous owner. Smooth shifting (for the most part) on the road, and enough to get around the muck.

However, when money finds its way into my pocket again, I'm springing for some 32" M/T's And leveling out the suspension. Hate that saggy ass-end. (mine does have the factory swing-away tire carrier, so i dunno if its part of the sagging)
