So i installed the rough country 5 inch suspension lift and i used the lift coil springs that the kit came with, however the rear is still noticeably shorter than the front.what can i do to lift the rear more? Should i look into buying larger springs and if so what do you guys recommend? Please help

It would help to know what vehicle you are talking about.

I know its a 4runner, but knowing what Gen. would help out a lot.

I would try and lower the front first.

Young Guy

good point, its a 1990 4runner

and as far as lowering the front i would like to stay away from that because i like how it sits right now and i dont want to mess with the torsion bars and have to get the front realigned again.

Get taller coils? i think they make coil spacers?
Ive heard of people using jeep XJ coils. But i dont know what it provides as far as lift.
or just do a leaf spring swap

Yah thats what ive been leaning towards because of the simplicity it provides and i have so much more control over my ride height.

For those who know, does leaf springs make the ride much rougher and does it truly get less flex?

How much higher is the front than the rear?

What size tires are you running/planning to run?

Young Guy

not much maybe an inch higher, and i have 33 inch super swampers on it

Well, if I were you I would just lower the front then.

Getting an alignment will be cheaper then doing a rear leaf swap.

It will also ride better with some of the stress off of the t-bars. Especially if you have cranked them up already.
