LC coil lift question please help
Ive been working outside for the last few hours on my 91 surf. I have finally gotten the stock springs out and ive noticed they are larger in diameter then the LC coils i have to put in. here are a few pics. Is this normal or did i get the wrong type of coils?

anybody?

lol give it more than 10mins

Well........... Toyota didn't want their springs to break or warp on their trucks so they put beefy springs... in ...... simple as pie...... the ones you got will prob be fine.
|
do you not see the difference in circumference? will the bottom of the springs become wider because they wont fit in the seats the way they are right now. p.s. they are both toyota springs.
|
what year did those come off and are they the front or rear ?
|
Air you sure they are for your truck? they kinda look like 3 gen runner springs.... hard to say.... they won't fit at all?
|
they are LC coils = landcruiser coils. they came off of the right year but the only explanation i can think of is that they are front coils. I dont know to much about landcruisers though so im not sure of the difference between front/rears.
|
I guess the person who i bought them off sold me the wrong ones. I was just wondering if anyone has done this mod could tell me if this is normal or not.
|
what you could do...... is set them on there and get a torch and heat them up until they kinda just.... fall on.... i did that one time with a pair or spriings on a 90 4runner.... it worked good...
|
those look smaller in diameter than the lc coils that i put in my truck last weekend. Those might in fact be the fronts off of a lc.
|
i think for 2nd gens you want the rear coils

They do look a bit smaller than what I installed as well. I did mine the other week back. I have heard of folks using the front springs just can't remember for what?
|
im pretty sure they use the front springs for 96+ 4runners.
|
That sounds about right...I didn't want to say cause I was not real sure and didn't want to give you bad info.

Do you still have the springs you had pictured. If so would you like to sell?
